Week 31 Journal

Date: 25/04/08


This will be the final entry of my blog.


This week I have been helping the team achieve the final team milestone presentation to a high standard. To do this I have been practicing my section as well as providing feedback on other teams members sections.

On Wednesday the team practiced the presentation in front of Claire and Amanda. The feedback from this good with Amanda expressing that presentation was delivered in a professional manner and because of this nothing had to be changed. I also spoke with Claire about my individual report. I will be writing about my interests in mise en scene and how it is applied in video games and how the researched knowledge helped push the project forward.

On Thursday the team delivered the presentation to the supervisory team. This was the final milestone and it was important to deliver a clear presentation as we were showcasing our results. I feel that I delivered my section well, as did the rest of the team.

Finally next week, the team will check the final team report one more time and then print it before handing it in. I will also complete the first draft of my individual report.

Week 30 Journal

Week 30

Date: 20/04/08

Over the weekend of 12th & 13th April, I read through the final team document and highlighted any discrepancies that I felt needed changing. I raised these points on Wednesday to the team and the necessary changes were discussed and amended.

On Wednesday I discussed my ideas for my individual report to Claire. Claire pointed out a few areas that I may wish to concentrate on. I took these points on board and started out planning out the sections of my report.

On Thursday I help construct the final points of the presentation. I was then assigned my section that I would discuss during the presentation.

Over the next week I will be continuing with my individual report, and helping the team deliver the final milestone to a high standard.

Week 29 Journal

Date: 11/04/08

This week the team received feedback on the final team report, and I amended my sections on the advice given. Later on in the week, I helped go through each section to make sure that all amendments were made and the document was up to a high standard.

My focus for the next week will be the individual journal, after learning what is needed in this report I will now go ahead and plan out the different sections.

Week 28 Journal

Week 28 Journal

Date: 04/04/08

Over the last three weeks I have been concentrating on completing the sections that I was assigned to writing in the final team report. The meeting before Easter was very helpful, allowing me to understand how my section could be improved, and these changes were implemented into my Evaluation Approach section. Changes included a flow chart for the testing procedure and the feedback from this proved that it was a lot easier to understand rather then writing the procedure out. I was also assigned with writing the conclusion. When this was written it was decided that it needed a little bit more added to it, as it was not quite right. So due to this I worked with Nick to write a new conclusion.

While the final team write up was taking place I also took the role of assistant editor. This allowed me to check on the sections the team were writing to make sure that the document stayed within the set style of writing. I also suggested some new sections that should be implemented so the document covered all aspects of the project.

With this draft now completed and being checked by Amanda and Claire, this has allowed me to start concentrating on the individual report.
