Creative Media Group Project Blog # 8 - 4/12/17

Final Presentation
  
We prepared as best as we could for our final presentation. We organized several meetings and each of us prepared slides but Sophie put in a lot of extra work to make sure that it looked right. As I was the only one in the group that was part of the CCM course, some of our biggest project deadlines, including our literature review, clashed with the other CMMAddOn deadlines and were due on same day as our presentation. So that week I was a bit all over the place with other assignments. Sophie had me watch over her during the meetings, helping her with the presentations. Sarah was helping with research and Natalie was designing our new logo & presentation and I think she did an excellent job. I told them that with all the other projects that I had to do for that Monday, which their course didn’t have, I wouldn’t be able to do much work at home on the presentation. I said that I would be prepared for the presentation on Monday and if they were stuck and needed me for anything, just let me know. They seemed to understand.

On the day of our presentation, we were all a bit stressed as we had 2 long presentations that day and 2 big group projects to be handed up that day, as well as my literature review for my dissertation. But we were pretty confident and knew that this presentation would come along far better than the last one. During the presentation I spoke about our Aims and Objectives, Methodologies & Technology, including our plan to make an interactive narrative about an emergency responder dealing with a deaf person using Wirewax. I stuttered a bit during my slides, but overall the presentation went pretty well. It wasn’t great but it was certainly a lot better than the last one and the lecturers seemed happy with our project direction. They had a few notes for us, saying that we need to do more research on the training and practices of emergency services and find out if there are already steps in place for how to deal with a hard of hearing person in an emergency situation.

Now we only have the Project Proposal to complete and that is our work for this semester finished.
