Presentation Time!

We presented our finished presentations too our lecturers; Sarah, Keith and Ian. During the rehearsals for our presentation I did feel confident in what I was saying and the points I was trying to make as we ran over the presentation several times before we went into the room and luckily we had more spare time as the presentations from other groups were running over their time slots. However, when we got into the room nerves really hit home for me and I didn't feel confident at all. I find this is a recurring theme when it comes to presentations that I get very nervous when it comes to actually presenting it. Ways in which i could get over this is to prepare even more, even when i think i have done enough, still do it one more time.

Before starting the presentation once entering the room we did have a few problems with the sound as it wasn't playing at all and the projector was a bit off angle but they were easily sorted and were able to begin our presentation.

During the presentation we all worked well together and we nearly managed to keep it within the time frame however we over ran by one minute whereas in rehearsals we always got it spot on which was a bit of a shame. Each of our parts went very well and I feel as though we did get across the research we had done and the points we were trying to make and solutions we had come up with in response to the question we had been set. The presentation as a whole I feel ran very well and it went according to plan.

I do feel as though we could of made more of an effort to use Prezi rather than Keynote as it would of made the presentation look more dynamic and interesting, however, I still feel as though we did made an interesting and thoughtful presentation in the end and it was clear and well presented by the whole team.

I have really enjoyed completing this assignment as it has been a very interesting experience and I have also had the chance to learn some new things that I never knew before about the companies that we met. It really did get my mind thinking, especially Rebel Plays presentation and 'why don't women play computer games'. I have also enjoyed keeping this blog as part of the assignment as I been able to look back and recognise what we have learnt and it also helped me create my PowerPoint as I stored all of my research on here and it made it easily accessible. I have thoroughly enjoyed myself and it has been a great module to have been involved in.

The Beginning Of The Presentation

We have began creating our PowerPoint to show the findings and conclusions that we have came up with in response to their question - 'How can you engage an online audience in storytelling? – How do you encourage users, especially those from an older generation to participate?

We have been meeting up week by week in university to give in research that we have found to each other, work we have completed to make our finished artifact, ideas we have come up with for the presentation and how we are going to set it out. We have also created a very simple presentation plan to stick by to help us set out our presentation properly and keep it all in order.

We set out to use the programme Prezi to create our PowerPoint to show them what we have done and also this was the recommended programme to use however we found this a slight bit difficult and we didn't really understand how to use it. We also wanted a slightly basic approach as our work is about making things basic! So we moved onto the software 'Keynote' which is much easier and have created our PowerPoint. We didn't really come across any more problems while using Keynote and are very happy with what we have created.

We have brought together all the work we have all done and the research to show the conclusions that we have made ready for the presentation to be shown next Thursday.
