Almark Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 I am giving a talk to the Bangor branch of the Workers’ Educational Association (WEA) this Thursday. The subject is New Zealand and I have over 800 photos available to show. The talk is for one hour 30 mins., Most of the photos will only be shown for a second or so, while others will have story to tell. But I prepared an AVof the best photos, and wonder whether I should show it at the beginning of the talk - to set the scene - or at the end?What do you think, beginning or end, or both?All advice is most welcome.http://www.markallenphotography.co.uk/markallenphotography_galleries/nz.exe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Beckham Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 How long does the Show run for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Porter Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Hi, Mark,I would put it at the start, the excellent show will certainly grab the attention. Not wishing to decry your lecturing skills, there may be other distractions as the end of an hour and half, ie the loo or the bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Beckham Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Oops Just seen that you listed the duration, but I watched the show again anyway. Definately put it at the start, then give your talk and if you have captivated them enough end on a different slide show, just for entertainment value. The audience will appreciate that.

rick235 Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 You should use the show before the talk, that way your audience knows that you know what you are talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin hill Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Mark,Stunning slideshow with superb photography.Hope all goes well with your talk and presentation.Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almark Posted October 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Thanks everyone for the feedback. The AV is only 4 mins long, so I will use this as my introduction. Thanks Barry for the tip about another one at the end, I will have to think about this. Maybe thanking them for their attention and maybe they might want to invite me back to talk about Yellowstone in Winter.BTW this is not a commercial venture, I do these talks for free.

Almark Posted October 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 The talk went very well. I showed the Av first, as recommended, and then did the talk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
