Description
The Oral/Visual Presentation
Record or upload an oral & visual presentation that is approximately 5 minutes in length. Your presentation is an opportunity to engage with an audience as you inform them about resilience as a concept through an engaging analysis of a film.
The oral and visual elements should work together but not like they do in a conventional presentation in which the visual elements simply restate what you are delivering orally. You can deliver much more information with a few good visuals than you can possibly talk about in 5 minutes. So you should make good use of your visual presentation; select important pieces of information and imagery to create visuals that argue for you without you having to describe all of the details they make visible.
Your presentation should:
- be well paced (stay within the time limit!) and succinctly delivered
- introduce your viewer to both the film and the concept of resilience
- clearly present your thesis statement
- explain key moments of adversity and resilience-building in the film
- contextualize the analysis with considerations relevant to today
- demonstrate clearly how your oral arguments work together with the visual arguments, and how the visual arguments, on their own, articulate the depth and rigor of your thesis statement and your research
