Setting: There were no/limited use of party colours. The Ghanaian flag gave it a nationalistic feel. The rest of the background was pretty clear with no other designs or decorations. The bare settings allowed viewers to focus on the individual with no distractions. The green hash tag wasn't visible enough. In future other related digital information could be presented briefly on screen maybe as a superscript.
Grade: B+ for setting.
Style/Delivery: Mahama was well composed and appeared confident. His voice sounded tired and strained at times but he was overall very clear and smooth. There were no breaks and he seemed very much at ease. His body movements were on point except for situations when he used the one arm on table and the other sideways like the newscasters sometimes do. Didn't come off too well on him. He was best when he clasped his hands together. He was serious, forthright and well composed.
Grade: A- for delivery
Structure/Format: This is where I had major concerns. Yes the basic social media features of engagement and immediacy was there but I feel more could be done in terms of interaction and immersion. There was a feeling something was lacking. It appeared to me that the methodology for the show was not well thought through enough. If there's a decision to go with a studio audience then it should be expansive and broadened out enough, if not they could stick with a purely online audience. The sparse nature of the in house audience felt lacking and didn't give a very robust feel.
Grade: C+
Content: We all know the major pointers by now: cancellation of the CST tax, review of free SHS, creation of staple crop processing factories, elimination of licensure exams for teachers, reduction in the number of ministers etc.
Verdict: I'll leave the policy guys to evaluate this or take a stab. Also Ghanaians are the best judges.
Extra credit: You've got to give the Mahamites as I call them some credit for their post event work. They were very swift, very focused and very creative in their post event dissemination.
You've got to give it to the guys behind the scenes. It went as smooth as it could go. More work needed in the pre event dissemination and in the area of making it more engaging and immersive.
