Multimodal Project Presentation Reflections

• What I thought about the project:

When the project was first presented to us in terms of what we had to do and how we had to do it, i was excited because I usually do not make my own videos. The fact that we had the freedom to choose what topic we wished to present made me anxious. Hundreds of topics streamed through my mind and I could not decide. However, I was able to narrow down my options to aviation related topics. Overall, I loved the idea of the video format and I enjoyed bragging about my favorite plane. 

• What I felt at the during my presentation:

Knowing it was presentation day, I was excited to share my project with the class and boast about the Advanced Super Hornet like there was no tomorrow. I couldn't help but feel a little nervous considering the fact that I don't like "stepping under the spotlight" as Hollywood folks would describe it. I don't perform well when I know I have a handful of people's attention watching over me. I have learned to cope with it over the years by simply facing the music and getting over with.On a more positive note,  I do love to teach people about military related subjects so that helped me cope with my stage anxiety. While I was setting up the projector I could help but kick myself in the rear for not adding photos of the other two aircraft I had mentioned orally to help my audience better understand what i was talking about. With the exception of those missing photos, I felt very proud of my project and I enjoyed presenting it to the class. Something just felt right about my approach to the controversy and the style i chose to present it in. Even the soundtrack I chose was perfect for the video I had formatted. 

• What I felt after the presentation:

After I received feedback from Dr. Kyburz and a few classmates, I was satisfied with what I had created because I know they enjoyed the presentation and I was pleased to hear that I did well informing them. I concur with the feedback that was given back to me, and again the only disappointment was that I did not include a photo of the Raptor or the Lightning II.
