Narrative Powerpoint presentation

Today our group 14 had the narrative presenation on powerpoint. We were rehearsing the presentation from the morning, finalizing and fixing few bits on the slides. To be honest, I thought our presentation will go pretty well because we thought (at least before the presentation) that we've put in every detail that we could think of. But after giving the presenation, the feedback we got wasn't really what we were expecting. But I think it was good that we've got to learn many things that need to be considered when presenting a narrative to the audience (or in the real world, will be the client). Furthermore, it also allowed us to realize the points that we didn't think of when developing the narrative. For example, we should have put speach bubbles and some sample of the sound effect so that it'll make the audience understand how our project will be more clearly.

The biggest thing that I've learnt today was the requirement for 'the storyboard'. I thought the storyboard are just a few picture/image that roughly explains what the story will be about. But as Debora mentioned in her comments, storyboard should have everything in it. Basically the storyboard should show the final piece (for example; we are doing stills, so rather than putting some images of how our story is being layed out, we should have put every single bit of images that will be used in the final project).
The reason why we didn't put every single image in our presentation was that we didn't wanted to give all of our ideas away. Because we thought it would be boring if the audience sees the storyline before actually seeing the final project.

Although it didn't go as smooth as we (the group) thought, I think I've learnt many things in this presentation and I think the whole point of having feedback is to make us learn and develop in depth to make sure that our final project in a better quality.
