Mais and Maya
Project presented:
Creating a professional movie trailer.
What is the project about:
It is a professional trailer. It is about an action movie.
The plot is based on someone’s daughter being kidnapped fro 6 years and the father trying to find her.
It was made using windows movie maker and they used different clips from the internet.
Positive things about the presentation:
The sound effects are really good.
Feedback for improvement:
As it is trailer is supposed to provide a snippet of the movie the trailer doesn’t really serve its purpose. They can improve it by voicing it and actually narrate the things that they type out.
If it needs to be in the tech fair 2016:
I think these days anyone can edit and make a trailer and due to iMovies it os really easy to do so. The project is good but it lacks the Wow factor.
Mikes, Sidhant, and Adnan
Project presented:
They have mad a game
What is the project about:
They made an action game called as ‘the big escape’. It is your objective to kill all zombies and manage to survive.
Positive things about the presentation:
They have shown the game and how to play and work with it.
Feedback for improvement:
Fix it if there are any glitches in the game.
If it needs to be in the tech fair 2016:
The game is a lot different from the one we saw before.
Project presented:
A spy car.
What is the project about:
They made a spy car. They have shown the trailer on how it's made as well.
There is an app along with it as well. They made using bottles, a toy truck, and a modem to control it along with a joystick.
Positive things about the presentation:
They have quite a detailed presentation and how it went on each stage.
Feedback for improvement:
They could have shown a live demonstration of the device. It is quite simple and they could have taken it to the next level
if they would have done something along with it. Something they could have done was add sensors and control it without having to have a joystick attached with a wire. Instead, they could control it wirelessly and code it to follow commands. They could have also mentioned how it could be improved in their presentation.
If it needs to be in the tech fair 2016:
It is quite different and new.
Yanis, Davis and Parth
Project presented:
A Pokemon game
What is the project about:
They decided to make a game. They created a parody Pokemon game. David made the trailer which is quite good.
Yanis used advanced maps, trainer editor and item editor to program and edit the original game.
Positive things about the presentation:
They have explained in detail and the game works quite well.
Feedback for improvement:
It mostly seemed that Yanis did most of the work, there could have been better group work as
Parth didn’t do or explain anything. They could have explained the difficulties they faced along the way
and also how did they start and progress with coding the game.
If it needs to be in the tech fair 2016:
It is quite different and it think it should be included.
Caroline
Project presented:
She tried to make a graphite conductor.
What is the project about:
She tried to make a graphite light conductor by using a paper and covering it with graphite by colouring it with a pencil. Although this didn't work as the amount of graphite was too less and wasn't able to conduct enough electricity to light up the bulbs.
So instead, she took a pencil shaved both sides to expose the graphite on both sides. She took an alligator clip on both sides of the pencil's graphite which was connected to a wire and a light.
