Like film, presentations are a form

of storytelling. Give your

PowerPoint a narrative structure

with beginning (exposition),

middle (conflict) and end

(resolution) to keep your audience

engaged and increase retention.

In film, story changes are often

made the editing room – just as

changes to your content occur when

it's put into slides. Avoid time­

consuming edits of final designs by

confirming your running order at the

start using post­it notes. 

'What happens next' is the most

question that drives plots and keeps

audiences engaged. Make yours are

ask themselves the same thing during

presentation by revealing one piece of

information per slide and building to

dramatic reveals.

Mise­en­Scene ('place on stage')

describes how the composition of a

scene communicates information

about tone and setting in film. Your

presentation should do the same:

use the right design elements so

your slides enhance your message.
