I could not access the youtube video for this link.
Activity 2: In the padlet, write down ONE thing you can apply to your future presentations.
Start with a bang is something I can apply my future presentation, as I realisation how boring it is when people say "Good Morning, I am blah blah...", thus, I should start with something that makes my presentation unique and lively. Like start with a fact, figure, quote, story or even a video or music. 
Activity 3: In your padlet, write down at least TWO learning points from the video.
Always start my elevator pitch with only one sentence by using I help (audience) achieve (value) by doing (how). I also learn that by using a problem as my pitch to sell myself or a product will help people to understand and empathise with me and show the solution that I have come up with, people will be more willing to listen.
Activity 4: Is this relevant to arts managers? How?
This is relevant to arts managers as when asking for sponsorships and grants, arts managers must be able to convince the sponsors why they should sponsor the event, thus arts managers must be able to sell and using an elevators pitch will help to make their presentation much more interesting.]]> 2022-10-25 07:13:52 UTC https://padlet.com/graven78/nit2ctxbk32pev0i/wish/2354988283 Hazimah https://padlet.com/graven78/nit2ctxbk32pev0i/wish/2355008594 1) He had an interesting (almost offensive) hook to capture the attention of the audience. he compared the electric car models to small animals to prove his point on the cars. 

2) DON'T BE BORING! i can do something different from others, omit greetings and pull my audience in with a story instead.

3) after introductions, present your idea with a story, having a problem/conflict and creating high drama. then provide a solution to the problem. after that, explain the value of the idea. why it has impact and how beneficial it is

4) as arts managers we would have to come up with productions/exhibits/performances that would be able to bring in funding. we would need to prove why someone would fund for our project and having an awesome business pitch would make it a lot easier for us to be given said funding. ]]> 2022-10-25 07:29:24 UTC https://padlet.com/graven78/nit2ctxbk32pev0i/wish/2355008594 song wei https://padlet.com/graven78/nit2ctxbk32pev0i/wish/2355009042 1. The presenter maintains eye contact with multiple parties during his presentation and also make sures that everyone is included in the pitch. He also catches their attention with the opening statements
2. start the presentation by capturing your audience's attention. Try not to start with the regular introduction and get on with the content of the presentation instead.
3. concise goals to the presentation may grab audiences' attention, start with a problem that some people may face so that they would try to find out how they can solve it. explain things systematically so that people are able to catch onto what you are trying to say and will subsequently pay attention to your pitch.
4. Arts managers can use these tactics to make project ideas more interesting and catch other people's attention. For example, we can use these kinds of tactics to pitch ideas to NAC to receive funding. Instead of a problem we might choose a topic that is interesting to them or something that might fall in line with their arts plans.]]> 2022-10-25 07:29:45 UTC https://padlet.com/graven78/nit2ctxbk32pev0i/wish/2355009042 Kristen https://padlet.com/graven78/nit2ctxbk32pev0i/wish/2355009428 Activity 1: He asked rhetorical questions and humour to engage his audience. He also showed visual comparisons between the car models to emphasise why his 'idea' is better/beneficial.

Activity 2: Be more engaging, ask questions or include quotes to get the audience thinking and interested in the topic at the start of the presentation/pitch.

Activity 3: Introduce a problem to the audience, it creates dramatic effect and relatability to grab the audience's attention. Talking about the value your idea will bring and being confident in it during a pitch will make your audience "believe" in what you are proposing, it will make the audience believe in how your idea can be beneficial.

Activity 4: As an arts manager, being able to pitch an idea to a company, organisation etc. is important. Arts managers are usually responsible for getting sponsorships and grants for the company/organisation they work for. Hence, being able to confidently present a pitch will ensure that these sponsorships and grants will be given.]]> 2022-10-25 07:30:04 UTC https://padlet.com/graven78/nit2ctxbk32pev0i/wish/2355009428 Aw Jun Ming https://padlet.com/graven78/nit2ctxbk32pev0i/wish/2355049466 Act 1: 
He uses a lot of hand movement, and he uses a very captivating tone to keep the audience interested, like when he is talking about the newer car models, he uses pictures to indicate how he feels. He also doesn'r use words as it may lose the audience's attention.
 
Act 2:
Use a more captive voice when I am presenting so it doesn't seem boring.

Act 3:
It is also good to start with either a fact, quote, or figure, something that can get the audience attention. Get straight to the point of the presentation, don't be long winded as that might lose the audience's attention. 

Act 4:
It is relevant to arts manager because in our line of work, we must make a pitch to people as to why they should fund us, so that we can have the money to do our show/project. If without proper training, arts manager whilst presenting will be very boring and will come off as plain with no general sense of direction. ]]> 2022-10-25 08:09:42 UTC https://padlet.com/graven78/nit2ctxbk32pev0i/wish/2355049466 heather https://padlet.com/graven78/nit2ctxbk32pev0i/wish/2355051768 Activity 1: The presenter used a very interesting and humourous way of getting the audience's attention. Making the audience look up and be engaged led him to continue on his pitch successfully with their attention on him.

Activity 2: Being boring is the most common reason why presentations go downhill fast. Starting with a bang like telling a story to grab the audience's attention is really important so that they are engaged from the start. 


Activity 3: Giving the audience an idea of a problem gets them to be involved with the pitch/presentation because people love conflict/drama it's human nature. Another learning point is that being confident is more than half of the battle while speaking. This makes the audience believe you more and trust you.

Activity 4:As an arts manager, it's important for us to be able to relate and create a good relationship with clients especially when we are running an event and are in need of sponsors or people who are willing to donate for fundraisers. We need to be able to have the skills to interact with different kinds of people and be confident with our plans.

The presenter Use pictures and his speech to make the business more effective. And he will actively interact with the audience. And he will make a boring demonstration interesting. Let the audience want to listen to the whole speech carefully.

Activity 2
The introduction of the speech is very important. An interesting introduction will make the audience curious about your topic. Also, standing posture and gestures are very important. Don't gesture too much during the speech.

Activity 3
When the audience already knows your topic and is interested in it. Then the speaker needs to use concise and powerful evidence to express to the audience. Don't talk a lot of nonsense. This will gradually distract the audience from your speech.

Activity 2: Start with a bang to apply for my future presentation and don't be boring. Instead of introducing my presentation with "Good Morning today i will be talking about.. " We can start our presentation with a quote that relates to the presentation, in that way we can capture audience attention and they will be more engaged.

he used jokes, humor, and terms that people would use when talking abt cars. The presenter also used words emphasis and different tones while presenting the products to compare other products and their own products with confidence 

Activity 2: In the padlet, write down ONE thing you can apply to your future presentations.
in my presentation, I think I can apply to have different tones while presenting and be confident as without it the audience can lose interest too and look directly at the audience as if I’m having a casual conversation with them.

Activity 3: In your padlet, write down at least TWO learning points from the video.
  1. to be straightforward instead of dragging the introduction with the common good morning/ afternoon and starting off with a fact about the presentation topic. Having confidence also plays a part cuz if not, the audience won’t be captured and pay the fullest attention to you. Need to grab the attention quick from the start


Activity 4: Is this relevant to arts managers? How?
in my opinion, its relevant to arts managers as there would be meetings or calls and be able to share our ideas in the most effective way as sometimes people share good ideas but they make it complicated and confusing. so using this, it’s easier as we need confidence while presenting and including ideas to make our audience further understand the purpose of the ideas we are sharing

2. Introducing a variety of tone is something I would like to improve on when I make my own presentations, as well as creating a less serious atmosphere that still allows the presentation to maintain its formality.

The presenter used plenty of comparisons to undermine the competition. He also used terms and problems that are commonly known to be as relatable as possible. When it comes to sending his message, he has built a foundation for a better reception for the idea.
 
Activity 2
Starting with a bang can change the energy in the room when done right. This can increase audience attention to the contents of our presentations.

Activity 3
After watching this video, I have noticed that most pitches start with a problem and a story which can be relatable to the audience/investors. When the solution (idea being pitched) is offered, the audience can relate more and have a positive attitude towards the pitch.

Activity 4
This is relevant to arts managers as we need to regularly pitch ideas to earn fundings or other important matters. By having the skill to pitch, this can be done more efficiently with a higher acceptance rate from companies or government institutions for the fundings.

His usage of a seemingly "controversial" word managed to catch the audience's attention right from the start. He then goes on to make use of multiple comparisons to help the audience relate to his presentation and stay engaged. He varies his tone and facial expressions to emphasize his points. While some parts of his pitch were said in a humorous tone, others were serious and slowed down to emphasize the important points. The use of wordplay, tone variation, visual appealing slides and expressive facial expressions kept his pitch engaging.

Starting "with a bang" is something that I would like to improve on my future presentations. I agree a boring introduction would be the least engaging way to start.

An elevator pitch should begin with one simple impactful line that would capture your value, your motive, and how you will achieve that motive. 

Telling a story would also be very beneficial in helping your audience understand where you are coming from. Incorporating drama and suspense in the story keeps the audience engaged and wonder about what's next, which is a great starting point for the next idea.

in the video clip do that makes his
business pitch effective?

The presenter ensures to captivate his audience in the beginning of his speech. Apart from changing his expression and voice (tone) he also provide the audience with anecdotes to strengthen his points. His speech was very effective as he was the very opposite of being monotonous.


Activity 2: In the padlet, write
down ONE thing you can apply to
your future presentations.

I think most of my introductions start off in the 'safe' way by greeting my audience and introducing myself, followed by my content. Something I find worth experimenting with is to start off strong. A quote or an anecdote would be a good way to get my listeners to follow through with what I am going to present.


Activity 3: In your padlet, write
down at least TWO learning
points from the video.

It is crucial to identify the ugliness of humanity. One such 'ugly' aspect is the fact that people love problems and drama, they may not want to solve them but they would like to listen to a solution. It would be very effective if presenters can find a problem that will help elevate their presentation to be deem as "useful".


Activity 4: Is this relevant to arts

every arts manager should possess.
