Group Towbe

3 classmates moves

1. Group AI with the intro video and realistic shark tank. This move definitely effected me the most because our group also attempted the real shark tank style. But by having the intro music for the shark tank tv show and giving an introduction to each member of the group really hooked me in right from the beginning. This move is really effective because it gave a quick backstory that created a deeper character level that the audience understood. It was super cool how they created fake personas for the sharks like Taka being Mr. Toyota. I also really like how this group showed pictures of Kyle from earlier in his life where hes surrounded by girls and stuff. All in all the video and introduction of group AI was phenomenal.

2. I really like when Burella played the multiple people in the dumps presentation. This was effective for a number of reasons. First because each character that he played brought a new problem to the table regarding the dump which allowed the other three to answer this question to further the legitimacy of the dump. Super effective, also very entertaining impressions which made it more fun to listen to. Also this group did a preentation that actually felt like a real PTA meeting.

3. The last move I want to talk about is TAR OFF and the tar genie. I like that during their skit the Tar genie kept saying Tar ashore tar no more! I thought this was a great move and for selling a product and keeping it in someones mind. Its catchy and easy to remember which is a great marketing tool.

Start/stop/continue


Start:
- As a group I thought we did fairly well but certainly missed on some areas. First off is the Hook, we definitely missed the hook. During our practice we had a better hook but during the actual presentaion we messed it up. Because of this we sort of failed our introduction
- I want to start with a strong and determined hook that will be very clear of the audience and grab their attention right awat
- Start glancing into the crowd more and project my voice as best as I can. I noticed in the video I would look down and not talk very loud which needs to stop
- Start showing more enthusiasm during my speeches. I am a fairly enthusiastic person but it didnt show through during this speech which is a bummer.
- Start being more warm and inviting to my audience, I really didn't like how emotionless I seem during my speech

Stop:
- Stuttering - this has been a problem for me for far too long. And although it has been the biggest challenge for me to stop I have seen some improvement on not stuttering so much. It usually happens when I get nervous and make a mistake. It happened during my mission statement slide and I completely screwed the pooch on that slide. But after that my speaking went smoothly.
- Stop leaving questions for the audience. I want to get more and more specific and really nail down what exactly needs to be said. It became apparent after watching the video we left some things vague and needed to go into more detail. For example the details of cost of production, manufacturing, shipping, and what we buy/sell our towbes for.
- Stop being pretty vague, we really wanted to give a strong back story of where towbe came from and why it was the best version of the towel robes on the market. We wanted to project being a small family owned type company that values its customers, but when I watched the video that message wasn't sent to the viewers as much as we would have liked.

Continue
- Bouncing off eachother and using some improvisation during the speech. I think its really important to have a strong outline of how the speech will go down but leave some wiggle room for unexpected changes that can benefit the speech.
- Continue having a good group dynamic where all of us offer something different.
- Also continue to bounce off of each others ideas to have an idea grow organically. I think its important to note that for a while in the beginning we just talked about different angles and possibilities we could go at with the towbe. By exploring every option with the group we unanimously decided on the one that worked the best
- Continue using prezi for my future endevours because its such a better form of powerpoint. Its so much more active and brings so much more to the presentation
- Continue to have fun on stage when other group projects are assigned. Speaking in a group for me is so much easier than alone, I think because we all up there at the same time relying on eachother. And group presenting is way more fun and less stressful for me. Because it something goes wrong or unplanned its exciting to see how the group handles. It also feels a lot easier and more natural to improvise during a group speech.
