Outline of presentation

I've been giving it some thought about the areas of portrait photography to cover in my presentation.  There's such a wealth of information about how to put together a presentation on the internet that it's hard to separate the useful from not relevant.

One point made is that I should have between 12-16 slides to last for 15 minutes.  Fifteen minutes doesn't sound very long but it can seem forever if talk not properly prepared.

I think the ouline will look like this:

Suggestions for slides:

Slide 1 - Title / name

Slide 2 - Tell them what you’re going to tell them

Slide 3 – Time scale 19th century to present day

Slide 4 – 19^th century style

Slide 5 - Images

Slide 6 – 20^th century – 20s/30s

Not sure how to go about this assignment

Not sure how to go about this assignment as there are no helpful exercises to guide me in, so I emailed my tutor and here's her reply.

Hi Jennifer

Regarding Assignment 5, it is just asking you to do a presentation of a genre of photography that interests you. You could do a PowerPoint and record your voice, or you could set up a video camera and film yourself taking for 15 minutes in front of a PowerPoint. You appear to be drawn to Portrait Photography, so I would concentrate on this genre of work, looking at the history and some classic examples. This is an exercise in showing that you have understood the subject and are able to talk about it in detail. Please ring OCA if you do not have a video camera or recording facilities and they will be able to advise you on how to prepare your presentation. 

Hope this helps
Katrina

This gives me something to go on, so I'll give it a go.
