WEBSITE

http://www.wix.com/sridon741/confidenceiskey#!

I took a lot of my old information on previous activities done and made it into a website. I started on dreamweaver but ended with wix. I put the relative information on the same page, some with different tabs. Essentially it is pretty basic, but has everything needed for a rough draft!

Website

• Home Page
• For the home page tab it will give a general idea of what my project's point is. It will have pictures of the problem, as well as pictures of the solution. It will be very vague on the topic of discussion, but still make it known about the problem at hand. Also, the contact information of the organization will be located on the home page tab.
• Research
• My research tab will be the tab that goes into depth about the problem. It will tell you all the numbers and statistics that people should be aware of.
• Future essay
• This tab will have the 15 page essay that I have written to back up the research tab
• Links 
• This link will have all the sites that I have gathered my information from. This will also be where my personal videos and research will be shown. I plan to have secret videos of the reactions of people who are well taken care of compared to the people who are not.

Thinking ahead

Something that could be more visual help could be a brochure that sells what your product is and goes in more depth than a poster about what you are trying to accomplish. I also would like to present a video, not a psa, but something that shows the different reactions that are gotten out of people to prove my research further.

Ideas that could be useful when presenting are:

1. Prepare your introduction 
• One of the most overlooked parts of the presentation experience is the set of words that introduces you before you stand up to speak. A good introduction raises an audience's interest in the presentation and establishes your authority to give the talk in the first place.
2. Visual mnemonics 
• Try using graphic elements to trigger your memory about key points. When you use an image on a slide as a visual mnemonic, you can make your ideas, as well as the presentation, memorable.
3.  Vocal variety
•   How to add interest to your speaking style, how to sound more confident, how to add ingredients such as articulation, inflection, rate, pauses, changes in inflection and volume, and so on.
  
4. Body Language
• This covers areas such as effective gestures, facial expressions, eye contact, cultural gestures, use of passion, visualization, descriptive gestures, and others. 
5.  Know the needs of the audience
• Knowing the needs of your audience can help you tailor your presentation to target their interests and explain how your company can be of use in their specific situation.

I think really great advice is to make sure you have vocal variety. No one wants to listen to a boring person no matter the subject. If you do not seem as if you are confident they will not believe you  whether or not it was completely reliable information. Your voice is the aspect that shows them the type of person you are.

SOPA & PIPA

I think that it is unfair they are taking away our rights to the internet. While I understand where they are coming from, it is rather ridiculous what the outcome will be. No matter the intent, they are taking it to far. Our rights will be stripped from us. As many sites that we will not be able to speak our mind any longer will have a bad effect on our society and I do not think it will be accepted well.

Importance of a Poster

I choose this poster because I think it has all the important characteristics that a poster should have. The colors are appealing to each other, the scenery is interesting, who the poster is for is clear, and it markets in a modest way. I believe this poster represents a good poster that gets its meaning across.

How I made this video

To make this video I started in movie maker and loaded the photos, captions, and the main song. Then I did voiceover in three separate clips and had to export it to Premier Pro. I used sound forge to make sure my voiceover was accurate and set up my prime keys to make sure the voice was where it needed to be.
