Interpretive Talk and Presentation Techniques




Hello everyone today i will share about interpretative talk and presentation techniques, and what is that? 

Definition
  • Interpretation is an explanation of the natural, cultural or historic values attached to places. It enables visitor to gain insight and understanding about the reasons for conservation and ongoing protection of heritage.

The effective interpretive presentation is
 
  • Successful as a catalyst in creating an opportunity for the audience to form their own intellectual and emotional connections with meanings/significance inherent in the resource
  • Appropriate for the audience, and provides a clear focus for their connection with the resource(s) by demonstrating the cohesive development of a relevant idea or ideas, rather than relying primarily on a recital of a chronological narrative or a series of related facts. 

Tilden’s Principles of Interpretation (1957)

  • Relate - Example: Sentul fruit is like a tennis ball.
  •  Reveal - A secret is a provocation but do not be secretive until the end.
  • Provoke - Makes the audience curious with question, secret or mystery or something that able to attract their attention
  •  Whole - Tell the whole story. 
  • Art- Images, colours, sounds, voice, touch, models etc. 
  • Children - Children's stories can be accepted by adults, but not otherwise.

Interpretation Theme • What is theme? - The whole idea is described in a single sentence.
 • Good theme - can connect objects / places (tangibles) with the intent / ideas / emotions (intangibles).
 • Example 1: SIKAPAHLA innovation intangbles can avoid junk floating in the sea. intangbles 
 • Example 2: Muafakat intangbles membawa berkat intangbles.
• Example 3: KFC intangbles finger lickin’ good. intangbles.
 • Avoiding audience to say “SO WHAT?” intangibles

Good interpretation theme:
-Not only specific, simple, and compact, should also have a story
-Not only communicate ideas or complete information, should also use active language.
-Not only covering the main purpose of presentation, should also answer the “so what?” question
-Not only contains only 1 key information, should also provoke and attention-getters.

DELIVER AND ORGANISE EFFECTIVE INTERPRETIVE TALK PRESENTATION

Oral Interpretation
 • Examples:
 • Guided walk ( Interpretasi rentis )
 • Costumed interpretation • Storytelling 
• Slide talk 
• Puppetry 
• Video
 • Using live animal 

Techniques: 
• Humor 
• Question - Do you know?

 Interpretive Communication Structure
  • Pow! - Attract the audience attention with provocation start.
  • Brigde - Give the answer to the last provocation (reveal). Why was that said? What does it mean?
  • Body - Give examples of the message (relate).
  • Conclusion - Give a conclusion to the presentation that was made - there must be a "call for action". Give the answer to the question "so what?" 

Interpretive Communication Plan 
• Identify the audience - background, ability, culture, social level etc. (Make sure the messages are relevant and meaningful to the audience). 
• Theme - unique and interesting. 
• Objective assessment - in a format that can be evaluated.
 • Preparation area - location, period, group size. • Reference sources - books, internet, brochures. 
• Programme guidelines - the structure, the introduction of the topic, outline, conclusion. 

 Interpretive Communication Method
• Preparation stage - came early, dressed, always ready and in confidence.
 • The first moment - the first 30 seconds are the most critical time to create a friendly atmosphere, avoid any obstacles, smiles, eye-contact, casual, not too formal
 • Start the communication - do not cram, do not hide the notes, body language, use humor, questions and tools to create the mood.
 • Voice - clear, intonation, pause, emphasis on narrative situation "warn if something important will happen".

Interpretive Communication Tips
• Body language - mimic face, feeling, walking with reason, avoid shaking or hiding hands/legs. 
• Active verb - avoid “fillers” (eeemmm, eerr, apa?), sentence repetition, apologise. 
• Props and aids - something interesting but you can control it. 
• Humor - must be relevant, easily caught, not offend, do not make the audience as a joke - if you need, make yourself a target. 
• Questioning - focus / process / evaluative / rhetorical.

Questioning
• Focus Questions - basic: who? what? where? / What do you know about global warming?
• Process Questions - audience need to give a wide answer and think / What does it mean..? 
• Evaluative Questions - audience’s view and opinion, give them to judge and make an evaluation / Why do human always think that..?
• Rhetoric Questions - No need answers from the audience, let them think what is the answers / If global warming is happening, what will happen to mankind? 

APPLY INTERPRETIVE PRESENTATION TOOL FOR DIFFERENT AUDIENCE AND RESOURCES

Examples :
  1. Interpretive Slide Talk
  2. Storytelling - 
  3.  Guide Interpretation
  4.  Non-Verbal Interpretation - Example : Interpretative signages, kiosk, pamples, posters, after hour displays and waysides exhibits.

THE TECHNIQUE HOW TO SHOOT VIDEO & PHOTO

-
Asslamualaikum i will share about the easy technique of shoot video and taking picture, this technique i used for most of my videos for example the day i reviewing Burgerak Kuatan. 1. Zoom  Without a doubt, zooming is the most used (and therefore, most overused) camera movement there is. It is often used as a clutch when the videographer is not sure what else to do to add interest to a shot. If you are going to use zoom, try to use it creatively. Zoom in or out from an unexpected, yet important, object or person in your shot. Use a quick zoom to add energy to a fast-paced piece. Don’t get stuck with your zoom as your default move but i am not using this technique. 2. Landscape Make sure your phone in the landscape position its when you move your camera horizontally either left to right or right to left, while its base is fixated on a certain point. You are not moving the position of the camera itself, just the direction it faces. These types of shots are great for establishing a sense
