Editor's Notes
- Intro myself, role and workshop
- Essence of how to approach delivering your content - flipped learning is about message and education. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neville_Brody

- Presenting information clearly and effectively is a key skill to get your material or opinion across to your audience. There are many techniques to use to do this, in the context of this presentation im going to talk about techniques anyone can think about and employ that can give you a better presence on camera to hopefully communicate your message in the clear and concise way we are all looking for.
- Producing media content, either screencasting, flipped material or feedback requires planning and to clearly express yourself and your points in media. To do this you need to consider these 4 areas and have a clear idea how they impact what you’re trying to accomplish.
- Don't go into this too deeply as it’s covered in detail in Jesse’s Planning session. Emphasise planning
- Don't go into this too deeply as it’s covered in detail in Jesse’s Planning session.
- Don't go into this too deeply as it’s covered in detail in Jonny’s Planning session.
- PREPERATION, the key presenting yourself well on camera, not just from a technical or theoretical point of view, but also from an awareness of how you can present yourself and your material effectively on camera. Talking to camera can be deeply uncomfortable and presenting yourself and your subject in this environment can be tricky. Now let's move on to the crux of this session You. We are going to look at two areas of how you present yourself on camera. I can't overstate how important it is to have an awareness of these areas when you create your flipped learning material, as these areas form the basis of a viewer forms their opinions of the subject matter, of your knowledges & expertise and is their gateway into understanding the key concepts that youre trying to explain
- How you look and what you sound like will have a great effect on the viewer, it’s the immediate and first impression of you and your content, this must be appropriate and in keeping with the nature of your presentation IN KEEPING means stylistically and thematically fitting with the method of the presentation
- Distance from your camera - What is the purpose of distance. Most presentations are about connection to the viewer, finding a good and appropriate distance from the camera Technical considerations Movement and distance are closely linked
- Movement on camera can be very distracting. Watch newscasters or actors, and you will see that, for the most part, they are very still. This doesn't mean you shouldn't use gestures. You should, but be careful to avoid movement that doesn't have purpose. All movement is exaggerated on camera. If you want to lean forward to show interest, make it a slight move. Avoid frequently moving toward and away from the camera. Distance from camera or suject effects movement as well.. “If it aint showing, don't move it” Don't Move Things That cant be seen
- How you look and what you sound like will have a great effect on the viewer, this must be appropriate and in keeping with the nature of your presentation. Be careful to avoid slumping in your chair or standing with poor posture. When seated, you should sit on the forward third of the chair bottom with your legs at a 90-degree angle and your feet flat on the floor. Sitting this way keeps your diaphragm free so that you can breathe properly and speak dynamically. It also gives you a firm base, thereby reducing any unnecessary movement. When standing, place your feet hip-width apart, knees slightly bent, and arms comfortably at your side. To stand up straight, imagine that there is a string attached to the top of your head pulling it up Relax, tension and nervousness can form physical tics or methods of carrying yourself that intern effect your movements and speech. http://www.motivationalplus.com/images/people_person.jpg
- Gestures and movement that emphasizes your message and meaning can help a viewer engage with you as a speaker and as a result the content of your video. A study of popular TED talks showed that the least popular had an average of 124,000 views and used an average of 272 hand gestures. The top-ranked ones, meanwhile, had an average of 7.4 million views and 465 hand gestures during the same length of time. - http://www.scienceofpeople.com/about-vanessa-van-edwards/ The content of your video is so important, why put up unnecessary barriers for those to engage with it?
- DESCRIPTIVE - "Do what comes naturally" Try not to be too choreographed but there are some instances where having a pre-planned descriptive gesture at the ready can really help. If you're talking about a small thing, pinch your fingers. If it's a really big point, don't be afraid to gesture your hands in the air. To help audience members keep track of what you're saying, hold out one hand to describe the benefits of an issue and then the other to describe a list of downsides. OPEN PALM - Evolutionary, Trust and nothing to hid gesture. Everything from the handshake to the "hands up" movement people give to police provides proof that you have nothing to hide. - See Mark Bowden STRIKE ZONE - The area to generally keep most of your gestures too unless needing to emphasise something (a baseball term) this area allows complementary and reinforcing gestures without become too emphatic and distracting from the content of the speech. DROP HANDS - However prepared you may be, there inevitably comes a moment when you realize you've done exactly what you shouldn't. When that happens briefly drop their hands down to your sides. It serves as a reset button of sorts.
- OBJECTS - These are all examples of fidgeting, she says, which distract the listener or make the speaker come off as nervous. DRAWING ATTENTION - As with most of this advice, everything in moderation is fine. But speakers who spend too much time clasping their hands in front of their groin area—often out of not knowing what to do—inevitably draw attention to the wrong place. Avoid the ‘fig leaf’ effect. DON'T POINT - Can be a natural urge but can look aggressive, unwelcoming and off-putting to a viewer. For most people, it's better to find a descriptive or more open gesture to emphasize a key issue. DON’T CONDUCT - When you're presenting flipped content the voice should naturally change tone, volume and emphasis to stress point, hand gestures can be a physical punctuation for this, just as you wouldn't use the same tone of voice for an entire concept, don't use the same geasture.
- Speaking too fast makes you look anxious, but speaking too slowly can make your audience think you doubt their intelligence. Expressing emotion through your voice is natural and It’s vital to let your voice express what you feel. IT helps develop a connection to the subject and audience. A pause at the right time can have a profound effect on your audience. Not only does it give them time to consider what you’ve said, but a pause immediately following an important point will imprint it in their mind. When you’re practising your presentation, always try to decide which words, phrases, and paragraphs would have the most impact on your audience and put gentle emphasis on that.
