Please update your blogs with your final project media items (all of the team project items) and also with your evaluations

Skills for Work: Award of Completion Certificates


 
 

 

 






All other projects will be posted here on Friday 15 January 2010

All Media Items ie finished videos, webpages, posters, animations should be posted into a special assessment folder on the O Drive/TempSpace/DMC1/Projectfiles/Yourname

You will have to create a folder here for all your work to be posted into.

It will also be a good idea to do a backup onto www.acrobat.com - Set up an account and you can have 2gb of free space and place up all your Semester 1 files there. This is an excellent storage area.

Rae and Harry:  Can you call into Media Space on Friday morning to be presented with your Skills for Work Completion Certificates and also to have your photography taken. :-)

All others who complete by Friday will also have their certificates presented and  photos taken.

STAFF, CLIENTS AND STUDENTS HAVE BEEN VERY PLEASED WITH WORK PRODUCED.

Presentations

Audience: DMC 1&2 Groups and HND Interactive Multimedia

Rae and Harry presented their team project of a video and Poster advertising the new Sims product

The video had a very good twist within and music fitted the twist. The poster was very Sims like

The client was Maxis published by Electronic Arts. Images were supplied by Electronic Arts and if project won music will be licensed for it.

The video was very well done and the poster appropriate. Harry and Rae made a very professional presentation of the work. The material all worked well on the electronic smartboard. The sound was quite dynamic.

The audience enjoyed the presentation and were complimentary of the products.

All other groups will present on Wednesday of next week
