Week 13

End of Week 13

# What was your plan for this week?

Prepare and execute secondary testing

# What did you actually do this week?

Completed one viewing of the 3 films with 2 candidates

# If there are any differences between items 1 & 2, please explain why.

Less people than expected turned up considering the extra networking done in preperation for the test but the test went ahead as much as I had any control of it.

# What worked well this week?

While waiting for test subjects to appear I read half of the walter murch book which had some interesting tips on film screening and 1 very interesting little bit of info on sound and blink rate.

" Start a conversation with somebody and watch when they blink. I believe that you will find your listener will blink at the precise moment he or she 'gets' the idea of what you are saying. " Walter Murch

# What did not work so well this week?

Testing was unsubstantial to make a distictive analysis on any of the films.

# What have you learned this week?

Soemtimes what the university suggests isn't always the best approach.

# Describe all the items that have been added to your portfolio this week?

1 tape not captured, 2 completed questionaires and one note of testing with vocal response. Pearl - "that was...trippy" - will note other vocal reactions to the other films.

# Do you have any other comments to make?

E.3 has not been done and has hence moved until tomorrow - if this has not been achieved through no fault of my own another approach will be attained to attempt to fulfill this milestone.

I have enough time to allow this to a degree. My time scale has not changed just my goalposts and if it is not doable the test will end and the analysis will start.
