Colin StokesHow Movies Teach Manhood

We need to re-evaluate the influences for boys in movies.

He used funny stories to grab the viewers attention.

Colin uses laughter and relatable scenarios to maintain viewers’ attention.

He used them allEspecially III & IX

His passion is children

His focus on the audience

Colin rates a 4 in dynamism

Extra excitement would have improved his

presentation

Spread ideas and move people

Help them see what you are saying.

Practice Design not Decoration

Make your ideas sticky

Pauses can be excellent tools for dramatic effect

Slideshows make great presentation assistants;

not primary tools

Sir Ken Robinson did not use visual aids

Colin used a slideshow with images for the

audience to comprehend

They were both well rehearsed and used no

notes and minimal thought pausing.

Focus on the perfect combination of

believable story telling and facts

If you use visuals, use it minimally

Be passionate about your topic
