CatchCards Presentation

Today we presented our Prezi's in front of the class and basically talked about the game we had created and why we thought it was a fun, enjoyable game. As you may already know, me and my group created the game CatchCards which is a combination of throwing and catching and word association. I actually enjoyed presenting our idea to the class as it gave us a chance to talk about what we have been working on for the past couple of weeks and enabled us to showcase our ideas and get constructive feedback from our peers and tutors.

Here are a few screenshots of the Prezi and a link to the full thing...

No more People On The Move :)

We finally came to the end of our People On The Move films in Monday's session. My group planned on coming in a few hours earlier to complete editing, putting music on the film and burning it to disk, however, we made a mistake and thought we needed the tape to edit and panicked because the group member with the tape had actually been working at that time! So in the end we had to rush to uni, finish editing as quick as we could and managed to make it just in time to present to the rest of the class. Corin and Camilla seemed impressed by our efforts and we recieved positive feedback on the film especially the shots we chose to use.
I couldn't be more relieved as this assignment was probably the most time consuming and demanding task we've had yet and i think it's safe to say we're glad it's over!

Gaming...

 In Tuesday's session we developed our gaming ideas by using half of the class as users for our chosen game and took pictures and began working on a Prezi to present to the class in next week's session. The game we chose was a combination of throwing and catching with word association. We decided to call it CatchCards and the game requires players to basically throw and catch a ball whilst thinking of linking words from a chosen catergory. For example if you were to get the catergory Nature you would start off with the word 'tree' so the other player would say 'green' etc. As a group we created rules for the game and plan on making examples of the cards players would choose a catergory from later this week.

Here are a few pictures of a couple classmates playing the game whilst doing a forfeit eg. kneeling on one knee...
