GIFs after

The presentation of our project did not go as well as I, or as anyone in my group, made up of myself Alek and Jack, had hoped but we did at the very least get a pass mark for it and while it certainly wasn't the worst it definitely wasn't as good as we had hoped ether. During the presentation all the students and their groups in the class where using power points and slides on the screen to present their assigned projects, my group however did not use power point for our project, we discussed using slides and power point for the presentation of our project but we rejected the idea thinking that everyone would be doing it and it would not be original so we thought we should try something a little different so that we could grab people's attention when presenting it. Because we didn’t have the slides and power point to show our work, we each had to individually go on our separate moodle accounts to show the GIFs that we each had created for the project, Aleks had used cinemagraph to make his which showed a moving washing machine and a frozen sink and Jack used editing to make looped static. We also read from a sheet of paper with all our research and information on it instead of putting it on the screen for everyone to see and along the way we experienced some technical difficulty with the computer becoming slow and having errors, making our presentation go on much longer, and much more awkwardly, than it should have been if we had planned out our presentation better. At least we were not the only ones to do an “Art of animated GIFs” project.

However, in some ways this has given myself, Alek and Jack a chance to learn from our mistakes and learn how to properly present a project for our next assignment. In the future we will make use of slides and of a power point presentation even if everyone else is doing it because it will make things more presentable. This presentation has also taught me how to better work as part of a group, co-operating with other people rather than just working by myself, as I used to, and how to better communicate and interact with my fellow classmates. I have also found that it is so much easier to do these types of projects as part of a team rather than by myself as everyone does their part in order for it to be completed within the assignment's deadlines.
