Colin Stokes How Movies teach manhood

Classic Movies are used to gain the audience’s attention.

MAINTAIN THE

ENGAGEMENT BY

REFERRING TO :

ALSO

• WOMEN ROLES IN MODERN MOVIES

COLIN STOKES FOLLOWED COMMANDMENT NUMBER 7:

• HE DID NOT HAVE A PRODUCT TO PROMOTE.• HE DID NOT ATTEMPT A SALES PITCH• HE SIMPLY DISCUSSED SOMETHING THAT HE

SEEMED TO GENUINELY CARE ABOUT

DYNAMISM RATING: 3/5

TO INCREASE DYNAMISM COLIN STOKES COULD HAVE

SELF MADE IMAGE

COLIN STOKES COULD HAVE BEEN LESS MONOTONE; CHANGED HIS VOCAL TONE AND CADENCE MORE OFTEN.

COLIN STOKES COULD HAVE BEEN MORE EXPRESSIVE WITH HIS FACE.

I’VE LEARNED, FROM WATCHING THE PRESENTER, THAT A CALM AND RELAXED DELIVERY CAN BE JUST AS EFFECTIVE AS AN ANIMATED OR FERVENT DELIVERY.

I ALSO LEARNED THAT THE TIMING OF A JOKE IN A STORY CAN MAKE OR MUDDLE A POINT.

THAT ONE WAY TO KEEP THE AUDIENCE ENGAGED IS TO PAUSE FOR EFFECT AFTER CERTAIN POINTS ARE MADE; STATISTICS ARE SHARED; AND QUESTIONS, THAT YOU INTEND TO BE STIMULATING, ARE ASKED.COLIN STOKES DEMONSTRATED ALL OF THESE TECHNIQUES IN HIS PRESENTATION.

COMPARE & CONTRAST

• SIR KEN ROBINSON USED HUMOR TO CONNECT WITH AND ENGAGE THE AUDIENCE RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING.

• SIR KEN ROBINSON’S SPEECH WAS MORE LIKE TEACHING A LESSON/ SHARING HIS IDEA WITH THE AUDIENCE.

COMPARE & CONTRAST

• COLIN STOKES USED THE MOST COMMONPLACE EXPERIENCES (WATCHING MOVIES)TO CONNECT WITH AND ENGAGE THE AUDIENCE.

• COLIN STOKES SHARED HIS IDEAS BY ASKING QUESTIONS ALMOST AS IF HE AND THE AUDIENCE WERE LEARNING A NEW IDEA TOGETHER.

TIPS• YOU CAN USE THE APPROACH OF A FELLOW IDEA/LESSON-

LEARNER BY ASKING QUESTIONS THAT IMPLY ANSWERS, INSTEAD OF GIVING ANSWERS

• A RELAXED APPROACH CAN HELP FOR THE AUDIENCE TO ACCEPT YOU AS JUST-ONE-OF-THEM; INSTEAD OF A WOULD-BE TEACHER, INSPIRER, ENTERTAINER. THIS DELIVERY COULD HELP ALLEVIATE STRESS/ AWKWARDNESS FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED

• THINGS IN THE COMMONPLACE THAT HAVEN’T BEEN DISCUSSED OR EXPLORED IN DEPTH CAN BECOME EPIC AND GROUND-BREAKING TO AN AUDIENCE WHO IS DISCUSSING THEM FOR THE FIRST TIME; FIND THE EPIC IN THE EVERYDAY TO FUEL YOUR SPEECH/PRESENTATION
