PresenterRepresentatio

n

The presenter is to represent someone who is simply used to guide

through the documentary. The presenter will be represented as

someone who is unbiased.

Costume/prop

s

The presenters costume not to be exaggerated. The costume will

be jeans, a white shirt which will advertise the documentary, white

converses and no props will be included.

Body language The body language would be open to form a relationship between

presenter and audience.

Gesture Hand movement gestures would be necessary so that the

presenter would come across naturally speaking instead of talking

like it has been rehearsed.

Facial

expression

The presenters facial expression would be warm and smiling to

attract the audience. By having the presenter smiling, this will make

the audience feel more comfortable and will make them listen to

the presenter.

Speech The speech would be formal. The language will be standard

English so that it would appeal to both target and secondary

audience.
