This came to me today from a friend. I thought it worthy of forwarding it to you. Have a close look at the structure of the film. Can you think of how you can combine those elements into your next speech?
Cheers
Terry
| | Dear Terry, In the Toastmasters International Speech Contest contestants have 5-7 minutes to deliver a compelling inspirational speech that touches the heart and changes the mind of a multicultural universal audience. But what if you only had 3 minutes....and 6 lines of dialogue...? British film director, Sir Ridley Scott, launched a global film making contest for aspiring directors titled "Tell It Your Way". The film could be no longer than three minutes and contain only 6 lines of narrative. From more than 600 entries, the winner was from American director Keegan Wilcox. It's a story of the lifetimes of two people across 50 years - all told in less than 3 minutes. Sincerity trumps sensationalism in speaking, cinema and life. This is a great example of a sincere story that allows the audience to fill in all the blanks and understand the bond of love and kindness that holds humans beings together. | | | | | Sincerely, Lance Miller 2005 World Champion of Public Speaking | |
