4th Tutorial with Trevor

During this presentation Chris went through a walk-through of the presentation so far. After listening and watching Trevor advised us that we should try and liven things up by adding more related visual, sound effects. We also decided that the introduction that at this point was just text on the powerpoint would be accompanied with a 'movie trailer-style' voice over to really engage the audience.

We also took time to decide who would be presenting for the presentation. We eventually decided that Chris, Glen and Sam would present as they all felt confident and enthusiastic about taking on this role. We decided to use 3 presenters as the variation in voices would keep the presentation more interesting and hopefully ensure that the audience would be more 'switched on'.

We were also informed that we should be aware that questions would be asked and therefore we were not expected to relay all the information and research we have gained over the process. I felt relieved to learn this as I do feel we have a lot to talk about and I was anxious that we would not be able to get across every single aspect of Varytales across to our audience. Hopefully now we can focus on what we see as our main points of research and the key examples of our artefacts and we will be given the chance to explain anything that is left unanswered through these questions.

Questions may include things like:
When will this product be ready?
How many impressions do we think the website will attract?
Have we thought of any spinoffs that relate to the company as a publisher i.e. books
Licensing?
Is it really Cross Platform?

Trevor also drew our attention to vooks as another possible reference and resource into which Varytales could easily utilise.

During this meeting we were also told that Roger Shufflebottom would be our editor and would help us edit our artefacts at the beginning of the next week after which we would have hopefully completed the video production part of the artefacts by Saturday. I am a bit nervous about this as the presentation is next Thursday which means that the deadline for the video artefacts will be very tight.
