PechaKucha is a form of speech that originated in Japan. Through intuitive pictures and speech without any words, the audience can focus on the pictures and the speaker’s language. After giving this kind of speech in person, I think it made me more clearly aware of the importance of visual communication to people. Specifically, there is not much time needed to tell on each page, but the core meaning needs to be refined and passed to the audience. A seemingly simple picture should be summarized through your own refined language, so that the audience can understand the results of my research very intuitively.
Secondly, in evaluating my speech, I think the good thing I do is that the pictures can intuitively bring the audience a visual shock, and my description is also simple and direct, and it goes straight to my thoughts on the subject. Some of the cases I investigated have also brought inspiration for my future subject development. I think what I have done is still not perfect is that the scope of my selected topics is still somewhat broad, which will cause the focus of my speech to be still somewhat scattered and not focused enough to describe. For example, on the issue of my choice of racial discrimination, my research involved the issue of black Americans (see Figure 1), and then my spearhead was directed to other issues of racial discrimination in the world, so it might make the audience confused. The second point is also from the advice given by the instructor. For projects such as equality issues, perhaps you can focus your attention on social public platforms, such as parades, public welfare activities and advertisements. In addition, in the second part of the topic, I will quote data-based statistics to assist my entire research process, and pay more attention to international opinions and public opinions on the issue of racial discrimination.
