After completing our Machinima Presentations in front of the group I was generally pleased with how we all worked. All four of the group members contributed with the final presentation and all the work was present on the day of the presentation.
Upon getting given the brief we all went away and researched in to the Machinima subject, coming back next lesson prepared for discussion on what we wanted to address in the presentation. After brainstorming some ideas we came up with four major sections - 'What is Machinima?' ' How is Machinima Produced?' 'Advertising using Machinima' and 'The future of Machinima.' We split the work on four sections between us all and added it to the final presentation that Sunday. We all worked excellently as a team and were prepared for presenting a couple of days before the deadline. All the members worked efficiently and contributed around the same amount as all other members.
When it came to presenting we unfortunately had a technical difficulty when playing one of the videos. The link was broken, as overnight the video itself had been removed from the Internet. I tried to push on with the presentation however and managed to explain what happened in the video without the need of any visuals. There was a lack of confidence in one of the other members of the group, but the same could be said for me as currently I'm still not as confident as I can be when presenting. I can overcome this by having more practice with presenting and generally having more confidence in speaking about my/our work in front of others.
If we were to do the task again I would've spent more time talking about our primary example in the presentation, 'The Strangerhood' and also made sure to arrive early at the lesson and make sure all the videos would play with no problems beforehand.
