Week 12

Not updated this in a while and I do apologise, just had a busy few weeks and just could not find the time.

Just finished the Viva Voce meeting with my supervisor Alison Varey and 2nd marker Susan Turner. 

The storyboards are completed although they had to be developed so that scenes can be added dropped from the project depending on how long each scene will take to develop. A point that was raised at the meeting was that I should try not to repeat the same techniques over and over, a maximum of 2 elements of the same type of technique would suffice, due to this reasoning elements of the storyline may be dropped/added/developed.

The Flowcharts for both parts of the project have been completed.

The Activity Diagrams for the 1st half of the project have been completed although it has been noted that a lot of the elements can be seen quite easily through the storyboards and for this reason it was thought that they were not overly important other than offering a text format of the events within the storyline instead of an illustrated one. They will all be completed but are not a high priority.

The Report was produced and handed in before the deadline although I have to work on my citations making sure I do them correctly and remember to do them for each quote. The report would have benefited from screenshots from the games and interactive comics that were reviewed, as well as scans from books, specifically Scott McCloud's illustrations, these elements shall be amended. Additional sources of literature also has to be referenced.

Character concepts were produced although my own opinion is that they need to be worked on and developed further before they can be implemented to the project.

I will scan my storyboards, character concepts and diagrams and upload them here some point in the next few days.

 

Moved House (no internets :( )

I have moved house over the past few days and have been unable to udate my blog due to the lack of an internet connection. This should be sorted by this saturday coming (the 13th) and I intend to do a proper update then when I have more time to do it properly.
