Presentation feedback + Presentation

What went well;
Good overview
Clear expression/confident
Good use of media terminology
Well researched/prepared
Well rehearsed
Includes theories

Even better if;
Include more information for each slide
Five examples/detail (e.g hero/villain)
Include critics quotes 
Louder

Once you've done that, write a detailed evaluation of your presentation. Include the following:
How your research contributed (or failed to contribute) to the presentation
The delivery of the presentation
The topic area chosen
How you plan to develop the presentation into an extended academic essay

My research contributed heavily towards my presentation, the key for me delivering the presentation had to be the research, it was the catalyst to me successfully delivering the presentation. The research was an initial plan which helped me majorly. The things I researched was the institutions behind 'Luther', this helped me find stereotypes regarding the character Luther. Another part of research was just watching the whole series again but from a media students perspective instead of a fans perspective. This meant me looking out for key details instead of focusing majorly on the plot. I noticed how Luther is seen by other characters and the dominant character he is portrayed as. This therefore made my actual research easier and I'd seen much of the stuff I was going to talk about in the actual series instead of me reading about it. When I read about Luther on the internet I saw the positive reviews people wrote and how they view Luther. I also saw the success they achieved for their work. Although I could have improved my presentation majorly by putting in key quotes from reviewers, this is something I put into my research but I didn't do near enough to put this into my actual presentation so for next time this will be a key thing to do.

Due to this the delivery of my presentation was pretty straight forward. I focused majorly on the representations topic and how Luther is represented as a black protagonist. This is also the question I will be answering about Luther so the delivery of my presentation focused majorly on the stereotypes regarding Luther. In my ignite presentation I choose not to write a lot on the actual slides instead I put 3/4 pictures on each slide which gave me something to talk about and meant that I wasn't reading off the board. Before doing my presentation I researched into ignite presentations and saw that this is what many people also do. Instead of filling the slides with loads of paragraphs they put pictures on it and easily remember their topic. As my topic was representations I focused many of my slides on the stereotypes we see in 'Luther' and the many representations we also see. The reason I picked representations was due to the fact I didn't do too well on it in the As exam, so I thought that this could be a way for me to revise representations and be able to answer questions on it easier. 

I plan to use this presentation towards my academic essay. I made this easier for myself in a small way by focusing on representations in my ignite presentation. Having major research towards the stereotypes regarding Luther will help me in my academic essay as it will pave a way for me and if I need help writing it, I already have key facts regarding Luther in my presentation and research. Doing the research before hand regarding Luther will help vastly while I write my academic essay.
