Sophie-Crouch95 Space http://sophie-crouch95.posterous.com Most recent posts at Sophie-Crouch95 Space posterous.com Sun, 15 Apr 2012 16:49:00 -0700 Evaluation - Focus group http://sophie-crouch95.posterous.com/evaluation-focus-group http://sophie-crouch95.posterous.com/evaluation-focus-group

What went well: 

We worked well as a team and decided on questions and job roles together. We had all the equipment we needed and worked together to set up for our focus group

Each member was given a job role and was introduced by the team leader at the start of the focus group.

It was presented confidently and included all the information we felt necessary to gain the results we needed. At the end of our focus group, we were able to make a conclusion based on the testers answers/opinions.

 

What went badly: 

Even with all the members of the team working on the setting up, It did take quite a long time and we maybe could of thought of a quicker way to set up.

Sun, 15 Apr 2012 16:35:00 -0700 Evaluation - Icon Presentation http://sophie-crouch95.posterous.com/evaluation-icon-presentation http://sophie-crouch95.posterous.com/evaluation-icon-presentation

What went well: 

I felt that this presentation was the toughest as our information had to be found without the use of internet and we would also be presenting individually. Although I thought this was challenging, I enjoyed having to find information in different ways to what I normally would. I also liked that we had the freedom to choose our topic which made it more enjoyable. 

I kept the colour scheme simple and stuck to black and white not only because it was simple but because It represents that what I was presenting was something from the past. 

When it came to presenting I think it went quite well considering how nervous I was about presenting on my own. I think I spoke quite clearly and presented quite a good amount of information. 


What went badly:

I failed to collect any information on my original idea meaning I had to change my idea. This did make me doubt that I'd manage to get enough information on the new topic I selected therefore making me nervous about the presentation.

Sun, 15 Apr 2012 16:15:00 -0700 Evaluation - Disney Presentation http://sophie-crouch95.posterous.com/evaluation-disney-presentation http://sophie-crouch95.posterous.com/evaluation-disney-presentation

What went well:

For this group presentation, we were put into our groups with people we hadn't necessarily  talked to/worked with much. I don't feel that this effected our team work and we still enjoyed working together. 

We each had seperate topics to research giving us equal responsibilty in the group and then worked together to choose the colour schemes and layout of our powerpoint.

I feel that we all found a good amount of information and presented it quite confidently to our class mates. 

 

What went badly: 

The amount of information on our powerpoint slides was varied. Some slides had too much information and some had too little. Having too much information may of left the speaker with hardly anything to say that people couldn't already read but having too little would of left the audience uninterested. Knowing this now will help us for future presentations.

What went well: 

We made sure all the members were happy with the topic choice and ultimately worked well as a team. Our overal idea was talking about what the youth of today are exposed to which we then seperated into four seperate topics to give us one thing each to talk about. Although we had our own topics, we all gave each other information/ideas to use. 

We also made sure we all had something to do (Two of us edited while the other two made the powerpoint)

When we came to presenting our podcast, we had a technical problem which left us with no powerpoint. We then talked about what was on our powerpoint rather than leaving it unexplained.

 

What went badly: 

For me the actual recording of the podcast didn't go too well because after asking the group, we decided my script was too formal. I tried to rewrite it but didn't finish before having to do the recording. I therefore ended up with a shortened script that was half made up on the spot.

Wed, 29 Feb 2012 08:42:00 -0800 Documentary Treatment. http://sophie-crouch95.posterous.com/documentary-treatment http://sophie-crouch95.posterous.com/documentary-treatment


Treatment

My documentary is based on archive footage that will be playing throughout. The audio from the archive footage will be removed and the videos will then be cut to a nintendocore piece of music that I will be using. The theme used throughout the archive footage is old Vs new which is why the clips go from old 8bit games to the latest high definition games. After the intro which will last an estimated 40 seconds the music will fade and a voice over will play over the footage. I will start by introducing my documentary and giving a brief of what will be included. After this I will talk about the history, budget, graphics, HD, new technologies, online gaming and the gamer chair experience. These categories will be cut down into smaller topics to explain them deeper. When I am finished with the facts that I can provide I will then show some footage of what the public thought of the latest technologies, Nintendo Wii, Playstation move and Xbox kinect. This will be from video reviews found on YouTube along with all my other archive footage. To finish the documentary I will show the credits and include the Youtube channels I got  archive footage from as well as credits for editing. This will be played over an 8bit track from an old racing game called Rally X.

Mon, 12 Dec 2011 02:13:00 -0800 Podcast: Too Much Too Young. Script. http://sophie-crouch95.posterous.com/podcast-too-much-too-young-script http://sophie-crouch95.posterous.com/podcast-too-much-too-young-script

We are Too Much Too Young. This podcast is about how music, television and film can effect the behaviour and ability of teenagers and children.

My section of this podcast is based on the content in music that can have a bad influence on children and teens.

My first example is the song 'S&M' by Rihanna which is sexually explicit and contains suggestive lyrics such as 'Sticks and stones may break my bones but chains and whips excite me'. This song describes scenes of an adult nature that are inappropriate to children and young teens.

Another example is Eminem's song 'Fack' which contains adult content aswell as strong language. This is again considered inappropriate as parents do not want their children introduced to these topics especially at such a young age. Although he manages to portray this topic in a comedic yet shocking way. For example 'I like boobs, boobs, boobs, Now see that gerbil, grab that tube. Shove it up my butt let that little rascal nibble on my asshole' Although he makes it comedic, It doesn't make it appropriate.

The final song I want to talk about is 'Reckless and relentless' By Asking Alexandria which encourages a life of drink, drugs and sex. Lyrics such as ' All the girls and drink and drugs but don't get me wrong im having a fucking blast . I am rock and roll living a life you can only dream of' suggest that this lifestyle is glamorous and could lead people to believe that such behavious is fun and exciting.

Mon, 12 Dec 2011 01:51:00 -0800 Podcast: Too Much Too Young. http://sophie-crouch95.posterous.com/podcast-too-much-too-young http://sophie-crouch95.posterous.com/podcast-too-much-too-young

The idea of our podcast was to inform the listeners of our opinions on modern music, tv and film and how it effects young viewers/listeners.

Me: Music

Louise: Films

Hannah: Old cartoons

Tazmin: modern cartoons.

 

As I would be speaking about music I wrote a list of bands and songs that would influence children in a negative way and from there I chose a few that I then looked into to find lyrics to prove this point.

The music that I looked at ranged from different genres and included:

*William Control

*Mindless Self Indulgence

*Eminem

*Asking Alexandria

*Korn

*My Chemical Romance

Brokencyde

Hollywood Undead

*Rihanna

 

From this list I then chose 3 that I would be talking about in the podcast.

* Rihanna - S&M

*Eminem - FACK

Asking Alexandria - Reckless and Relentless

Resume/Idea:

My video profile will be a  stop motion animation of myself. The model will be demonstrating some of my hobbies such as drawing, photography and skateboarding. It will also be showing you some of the films I enjoy watching and some job roles that I would be interested in. The animation will be edited with music aswell as a voice over done by myself. The voice over will include details on some inspirations such as directors and animators whos work I enjoy which will be played over some background music by a band that I like.
