- If you want to
record a presentation,
then all you need to
do is
have your slides ready
and
be prepared to talk
over
these.
- If you want to
demonstrate how to use
a
specific piece of
software
on-screen or
demonstrate
how to use an
application
it is suggested you
prepare a simple list
of
chronological tasks,
considering the verbal
points you want to
make,
writing a script for a
voice-over,
identifying
appropriate screens/
visuals to correspond
to
the script and
creating
some rough storyboards
(if
required) to have the
visuals
available.
