1. How to make an audio powerpoint
presentation on your magazine project
(For task 2 in brief)
Learning Aim:
“employ forms of address in a media production
pitch with flair to communicate ideas
with impact”

2. Task:
Make an audio and/or film presentation where you
discuss the ideas behind your project, showing that you
can communicate verbally effectively.
Refer closely to what inspired your ideas.
This will be posted on your blog and questions will be
posted under it, asking you to explain.
You can use images and text shown in other
powerpoints and amongst the work in your blog.
You have to speak on this as this is an alternative to
speaking in front of the class.

3. In order to make a good presentation
remember to:
• Make sure that the powerpoint itself is good enough before
you add audio – don’t rush it!
• Make sure ideas are in a logical and planned order to show
the progression in project
• Make sure you have a script /notes to remind you what to
mention (no ‘erm’, ‘ums’!)
• Keep a professional tone – you are talking to a Publisher in
this task who will publish your magazine! Don’t be chatty and
speak clearly.
