Review

In this review I will be commenting on how our group was able to work together to come up with our first initial ideas for the website. I will also be writing about what went wrong during the project and then explain why the problem occurred in the first place. I will also be writing about the steps we took to overcome them.

At the start of the project I met Dan burden and Dan Taylor for the first time. We were assigned to make a media rich website for the Business department of the college. For the project, Dan Taylor was in charge of  general organisation, timekeeping and project scope, Dan Burden was put in charge of the coding of the actual website itself, in other words bring interactivity into it and I was in charge of designing the backgrounds, buttons and other icons. The layout of the website was decided by the three of us.

Dan Taylor created a timescale for the project which we then followed. We emailed the client who took while to reply but we were eventually able to meet with them. However when the time came to actually meet with the client, she left before 12:00. Because she had a headache so we were delayed for a little while. Afterward were emailed the client we were able to arrange another appointment and re met a week later. However by that time Dan Taylor was Away and he had a presentation of the alpha version of the website but we couldn’t show her our initial ideas so I and Dan Burden had to improvise on what we had and had to roughly describe what the website was meant to look like. Next we were tasked to actually make the website or a Beta build at least of which was actually completed successfully. Next we were going to create and upload videos for the website but these didn’t come without their problems. The first thing that hindered our progress for recording video was that our client refused point-blank to allow us to film in the actual business department because  apparently it looked rubbish. Then we set out to actually film something as we decided as a group that the best way to go about doing this was to film other parts of the college, for the example the LG. later on we then booked out a camera for the next day but when the next day came, Dan failed to turn up. When this happened I had no idea of what was going on and what we were actually going to film and how long for so I decided to help Dan out by designing icons and buttons for the website as to no waste the time. We eventually were able to film; however it was not for very long and was only some parts around the college. All the footage that was captured was edited by Dan Burden, which was done beyond college hours. Despite not being there for somewhat only can be said as essentisal events, he still did a good job of keeping the group together and the project probably would not be complete without the organisation.
