After peer assessment I knew I needed to change two things for my final presentation. Firstly I needed to change the format of my presentation into one that would work on the computers in the Digital Arts Centre. The second was to add a few animation and transition effects to the presentation to make the slide show run more smoothly. Once I made these changes to my PowerPoint it was ready for my final overall presentation.

Today was peer assessment today and I made a big error. I didn’t realize that I couldn’t use a keynote presentation file on the computers in our module classroom. Which means that I couldn’t show my part of the presentation to the rest of the people in my group. I felt really bad that I had let them down and was ashamed of my poor organisational skills, which means I received a penalty on my peer assessment sheet. However I did have my Photoshop pictures to show so I was assessed on these and how I performed on other projects. However I learnt from my mistake and next time I will test my work on the computer before I need it. I also gained from looking at my peers work so I knew from what they did, how mine looked in comparison and how I could improve the overall look of my presentation.

Now with everything for my presentation complete. All that remained was for me to create the slide show for the presentation. So on the first slides I have put why I have chosen to do create an iPhone/ Android app. The next slides I have talked about what I have learnt in regards to target children and how these have influenced my decisions for the App. Then the final slides contained all my Photoshop creations so I can show in the presentation what the app would and should look like. Then I saved it ready for peer assessment on Wednesday.

Our lecture today was quite a short one. At the start of the lecture we were informed about the fact that in the following week we needed to have our presentations ready for peer assessment. Which will give us the opportunity to receive some feedback on how to improve and develop our presentations for our final assessment after the Christmas break. After we received this news the rest of the lecture was dedicated to showing our video production pieces that we filmed a couple of weeks ago. Once our video was shown our group received some positive feedback. However there was some criticism of the piece for example the shots of when the character and the stalker were walking may have gone on for a little bit too long. But overall it was a good piece. Even the lecturer mentioned that I was right and she did like our film ‘An Unlucky encounter’.

After developing my idea in a sketchbook I then started to render and create each aspect of the app using some of the skills and techniques that I was taught in the lecture we leaned about how to use Photoshop. Meaning that my ideas were enhanced as I improved on the quality and overall look of the new box for Milk Tray, each of the cartoon character and also the screenshots of the app. Once I created them in Photoshop I saved each image as in a JPEG format ready to be put onto the PowerPoint presentation for peer assessment and final presentation.

Taking into account my learning and findings from my research I started to draw sketches in my sketchbook to base and visualize my app idea. I decided to start by drawing out what each chocolate cartoon character should look like. I based each character from my own primary research by buying a box of Milk Tray and looking at each chocolate carefully. After I created each cartoon character I then decided what music and colour should feature in my App. Once I did that I had to redesign the packaging of what the new Milk Tray box would look like if they were to stand out to kids. The final thing I sketched was three screenshots of what the app would look like if Cadbury decided to make it.

Today was the day where we shot our film ‘An Unlucky encounter’. Luckily as our learning team was so prepared as a result from our pre production we were eager to get started. After we hired our equipment we went straight to our first scene. As we had to shoot each scene in order as it is an edit in camera assignment. Most of the filming and getting the right lighting effects and camera shots was on track to producing a good piece of work. However when we were walking to our final location to film. We bumped into a member of the public who was concerned in where we were filming and why we were filming. He asked us what we were doing. So I mentioned that I was filming a ‘stalkerish’ narrative film for my Communication Skills for Digital Media module. I also mentioned if he was concerned in what we were filming he was more than welcome to look at our final piece of work but he seemed Ok and let us get on with filming our final scene. At the end the three members of the team watched the film all the way through and we were proud of our piece of work. I even mentioned to out lecturer that she would like our piece of work.
