[QUOTE="gennepher, post: 2114562, member: 238814"] [USER=460354]@Debandez[/USER] Here’s my two penny worth. Something I learnt in my psychology studies in 1990’s. There is the Primacy effect where people remember words at the beginning. Then there is the Recency effect where people remember the words or idea at the end. The middle bit is fluff which can float away from memory (my phrase!) Here is a Wiki link with a bit on it. [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial-position_effect[/URL] So you need to say at the beginning (Primary effect), something you want them to remember eg the before and after photos (but that is not advice, you may have a better thing you want to say first and you may want to put that last. Or you may want to show that before and after photo at the beginning AND at the end to round off. It only needs to be shown for a second or so). Then your middle bit which may or may not be remembered. Then the last bit, the Recency Effect bit for your audience. For example something more hard hitting. But not too scary, as people can be frightened the opposite way to what you intended. Just some food for thought. Hope it helps. [/QUOTE]
