Digital recording technology will not be provided by the school. If you choose to record your presentation you must ensure that the sound quality is good enough to allow you to achieve highly. NZQA NOTES on DIGITAL PRESENTATIONS Recorded oral presentations If oral texts are recorded for delivery to an audience at a later time, rather than being delivered and assessed in front of a live audience, the recorded oral text must be appropriate to that audience and purpose. Video recordings of live performances are generally done in a single take. This is the same for recordings of radio or aural podcast programmes. If students are constructing oral texts for a television or youtube audience, recording may include editing to incorporate presentation features such as demonstration or display materials. It is expected that editing is used when it meets this purpose. The recorded oral text must be primarily spoken, using long or single takes, as it is in front of a live audience. Glossary of Key Terms Annotate – labelling the oral presentation script with the language features and delivery techniques you will use. Delivery – the manner and methods you use to physically present your oral presentation eg: tone of voice, facial expression, volume, pause, pitch, pace, body language.
