ICT Unit 5 work to be finished by 10th May

ALL WORK TO BE FINISHED BY THURSDAY 10th MAY
 
REMEMBER YOU HAVE DRAMA AND ART EXAMS NEXT WEEK
 
SO LESSON TIME WILL BE LOST  
 
 
  • If its not uploaded to your EPortfolio– it won't get marked!
  • Work on section B feedback first - if test plan, assets or storyboard not complete or missing then marks for this section will be very low
  • Add a keyboard event so that the moderator can move through the levels of your game and get to the end without having to play the whole thing.
  • Get rid of all red writing on test plan, overview and storyboards
  • Add a back story screen – to reflect London – 2552 Olympics
  • Separate instructions are not just a print screen of your instructions from your game but something more professional looking and user friendly - PDFd
  • Details of editing in your assets table are 'details' ie: not just 'made it in Fireworks'
  • Test plan – make sure you test all keyboard controls once game is complete – not just tests as the game has developed
  • Promo video – include sounds and images in your assets table
  • Promo video – include pegi rating, which platform your game will be available on and a build up / walk through of your game
  • Review and Promo – check the read drive for examples of these so you know what marks you're aiming for
  • If your game has changed completely then don't go back and do your storyboards  but evidence it in your assets table, test plan or design log
  • Design log for higher marks / top sets – to explain design decisions as your game developed- section B is worth a lot of marks even if your game is 'not how you want it'
  • Moodboard – you won't get the marks unless you can evidence how you've met all the criteria on the moodboard list.
