Initial gut reaction 1-Not at all 10-Yes, definitely
Did I convey presenter’s overall message? 7
Did I deliver the interpretation with confidence? 8
What is the presenter’s purpose?: They're telling the audience to live life to the fullest and let all your experience add up to something you're proud of. At the end of life you want to look back and feel like you really experienced life to the fullest.
What is the presenter’s attitude toward the topic?: (emotive, excited, lethargic…) Music is very emotive. It was definitely good to prepare for a few minutes because I got the meaning of the song more and could interpret the emotion behind his words.
What was the presenter’s language quality? (clear, redundant, evasive, tangents…) The song repeated itself so I tried to incorporate some of the same signs so that it was like a pattern. His language was clear. We definitely had to think about the meaning so I was thankful for the few minutes prior to actually interpreting so I could understand what the song was about.
How was the audio/visual quality? The video/audio quality was good.
How did the presenter structure the presentation? It was a song so it had a chorus which repeated. He started at the beginning experiencing life and went to the end saying he hopes your happy when your final days come ("when the sun goes down") and feel like you truly experienced life.
Did the source text use any culturally bound information or topic-specific jargon? The whole song was topic-specific jargon because we really had to delve into what he meant versus what he actually said.
Brief notes: I was kind of nervous to interpret a song, but that was actually awesome! I felt really connected to his words and was surprised that I loved this experience.
