Ignite Presentation LR

Mr Halsey feedback Solid opening but could be a little more confident  Audience distracted by the professional Ignite template! Handled well and clearly rehearsal has taken place Structure addresses media concepts but I wonder whether more focus on media issue early on would have added clarity Representation is brought in midway through and this is the strongest part so far - brilliant statistics and great to see passion and opinion coming through  Impact on audience is addressed briefly - need more on this for critical investigation Wrong version of presentation! This is a problem and freezes up rather than continuing. Recovers well by returning to previous slide and showing fair knowledge of the film Lack of final slides really reduces impact of presentation and need much more on the media issues and debates Q+A - Good focused question on audience effects and vital to the debate. Answer is quite hesitant but there is an opinion there although needs more depth and clarity.

HOWEVER... Owens’s brother Deckard Shaw is here for revenge planning to kill each and every one of the crew that took down his brother.  So...  Hobbs and Toretto’s teams work together to bring down Deckard. BUT... that is amidst the problem of a Somalian  terrorist Jakarde and another government official competing to steal a computer terrorism program called ‘God’s Eye’ that can do some serious damage....     I am looking at the negative representation of females and specifically how in Fast 7   are objectified. REVIEWS " Furious 7 is another solid Fast and the Furious installment - one that (flaws aside) provides a nice farewell to star Paul Walker"   Sandy Schaefer "The director, Jam
