Machinima Presentation

For the first assignment of the year I was asked to get into a group and research the topic of Machinima and create a presentation. We gave each other a specific section to work on, and decided to collaborate for the rest. My section is the history of Machinima.

I firstly decided to watch a few Machinima videos on youtube to refresh my memory of what Machinima is and how good it can be. I then checked out the official Machinima site and browsed around, looking at which games had the ability to create them. I then decided to go on to learning more information about Machinima so i checked the faq and about pages on the machinima website, I also briefly looked at wikipedia.

I searched around for the Machinima history, I found it on http://www.zeitbrand.de/machiniBlog/WhatIsMachinima.html#history .
I read through the page a few times and picked out what I found to be relevant for my section and re read those sections, combined with the information on the machinima website I begun making notes for my part of the presentation.

As a group we chose to use prezi to make the presenatation, this is because we could all work on it at the same time. We met up and created the presentation, I researched into the first machinima which was "Diary of a camper". I watched this a few times and made notes on it. We decided to feature the video in the presentation.

For this assignment I felt the communication was superb as we emailed each other our work to keep up to date on what we where doing, we also created the presentation together so we could exchange ideas as we did it.
