Minutes from 21.11.2012

In today’s meeting, we concentrated on the production of the PowerPoint presentation. We collaborated our separate PowerPoint slides by sending them, via email, to one computer. Once they were all amalgamated, we looked at the aesthetics and structure. Therefore, we included an opening page which included the research question, an introduction page where we will write our intentions and then our separate analysis sections.

We considered ethical issues and anonymised the letters by tippexing out the name and using the first character instead.

Did we come across any problems?

We had two names beginning with M and so we decided to call one person M and the other Ma

We had problems deciding how much information we wish to put on each page of the powerpoint. Do we want bullet points? Do we want chunks of writing? In order to overcome this issue, we decided it would be best to have the same colour scheme as a matter of continuity for the presentation but include as much relevant information as we each thought necessary in our own sections. This meant each of the sections would have different amounts of text. We can then all make our own set of cue cards to aid our narration.

What else did we do?

We have also signed up for the narrated powerpoint “Author Stream”. This enables us to start working on a narrated powerpoint.

What we want to do next:

-          Ensure the PowerPoint is structured correctly and is aesthetically pleasing

-          Meg will send the PowerPoint to all of us so we can make our own changes

-          Make separate cue cards for each of our presentation sections

-          Time the presentation to make sure we don’t run under or over

-          Create a voice over that will run adjacent to the presentation

-          Meet again for a final run through

-          Get a folder to collect the letters/annotations which will be shown in the presentation session on Wednesday 5^th December

Next Meeting: Wednesday 28^th November 4pm
