Pecha Kucha Storyboard

3 slides per page and explain in bullet points. 20 slides total

For our final project, you will analyze your favorite T.V. show or movie and present it to the class in the form of a Pecha Kucha Presentation. Your goal is to apply the tool you have gain this semester into analyzing your favorite show or movie. You must be selective of the material you choose to discuss in your presentation because you only have 6 minutes and 40 seconds.

What is a Pecha Kucha?

“Pecha Kucha 20x20 is a simple presentation format where you show 20 images, each for 20 seconds. The images advance automatically and you talk along the images”.  

For more information on Pecha Kucha visit the website (Links to an external site.) and watch the student example on Canvas Module 10.

What goes in your Pecha Kucha?

• Introduction: The necessary information to introduce your show (Title, what the show is about, any other detail we need to know to understand your presentation).


• Plot development and Conflict: Discuss the plot structure of the episode. Introduce the characters and their objectives What is the conflict of this episode? Describe and analyze the rising action, climax, and resolution of the episode.


• Themes and social critique: What philosophical ideas or social themes are tackled in the episode? Is the episode critiquing any social aspect of society? Explain.


• Creators and fun facts: Research who created this show/movie you like so much. Add any fun facts, behind the scene anecdotes, additional info on actors or the production team to close your presentation.

Storyboard instructions:

The storyboard is a graphic outline of your Pecha Kucha. It charts the beginning, middle, and end of your 6 minutes, 40-second presentation, with an emphasis on visual rhetoric rather than words. YOU MUST CREATE 20 SLIDES WITH IMAGES TO GO ALONG YOUR DISCUSSION OF THE SHOW/MOVIE.

Use PowerPoint or Google Slides to make your storyboard. After creating the 20 slides, go to print and select the option ‘Handouts (3 slides per page)’ under layout. Print or save it as a pdf. This is your storyboard. After printing, use the lines on the right side of each slide’s box to explain, in bullet points, the information to be covered in each slide.
