In the lesson today I recorded my sound clip for the homepage of my game. I recorded myself reading the text which is also animated, I have decided that this is the only page that I will do this on. I will continue working on this at home tonight.

plan update

I have also changed these dates, as it was very unrealistic as I had originally said I would spend 4 days on each prototype, which would have been very hard to get the work done. I have now changed this, and all of my dates match up to the time that was spent.

Plan update

I have changed the dates on my plan, as I had originally said that my client would be testing the final product on thw 22/12/11, this would be over christmas, when we are not meeting, and would also be unrealistic as my product is not complete and won't be in a weeks time. I have now changed it so that my client will test the final prototype on the 10/1/12, as this will be my first week back at school and is realistic. This has also meant my handover date has changed and this will not be on the 13/02/12, this is a good date to aim for as this is the time I said it would be handed in.

9/12/11

In the lesson today I have been looking at what improvements can be made to my meetings in order to get in the mark 3 band. We have done peer assessment and this has been very helpful as I now have comments to help me improve. The main thing I need to include on all of my meetings is screenshots as these will allow who ever is viewing the meetings to see clearly what I am talking about and be able to relate what I am talking about to an actual image. I also need to outline what will be spoken about in my next meeting at the end of the minutes. I am going to go back through all of my minutes, expanding on certain sections, e.g. where I talk about a particular image I will give a screen shot, making it as informative and detailed as possible, outlining clearly the good & bad points. Today has been very helpful in helping me see what needs to be improved in order to get me the best possible marks for my minutes.

In the lesson today we have been looking at what makes a good multimedia product. I have looked at what is need to be in mark band 1, 2 and 3. We have worked in pairs and gone round the class looking at eachothers work and marking them according to the mark scheme. The feedback I have recieved is shown below:

I have recieved feedback that my text is too small as one of the main issues

In the lesson today I have made my video in powerpoint which I will then video using Jing next lesson. I am slightly behind on my video and sound as I was off school ill all of last week and so will work very hard this week both at home and school to catch up, as I need to hand in my prototype 3 with video and sound on Monday. I am making a couple of videos in Jing and am also going to make 2 videos over the weekend of a potato being cooked in different ways. The sound for my game will be someone speaking everytime the potato appears with a speech bubble, I will try my hardest to get this done this week, but I will definately have a few videos in my phototype 3.

15/09/11- completed analysis/ questionnaires etc

Questionnaire-
I have completed my questionnaire which my client has given to her students to fill in, asking them questionnaires regarding the game, for example 'Would you like animation to help you learn' & 'Are the current learning resources successful and useful' and reasons etc. This will allow me to see what I need to include in the game to meet the needs of the people who will be using the finished product.

Analysis of existing documentation-
I have looked at the current resources that my client gives to her students to teach these topic, I have then identified the issues and thought about what I could offer that would make the necessary improvements.

Interview-
My client recorded a conversation between herself and her students speaking about the game and the possibilities of what could be include as well as their likes/dislikes. I made a transcript of this recording and then took out the required information of this so that I could again make decisions about what should be in the game.

Carrying out this research was useful as it allowed me to see what the users of the game want, so that I can make the ideal game.
