Final Presentations - Thurs, Feb 17th

Each group will have 15 minutes to present their complete transmedia strategy. There will be five minutes for Q and A.

This presentation should be based on the five assignments carried out this term. Given the short length of time - and knowing that I have already read your content - it is important that you focus on the unity of the transmedia franchise. How does your work this term best exemplify those principles set forth in the first class? Be very clear on this point... don't give me a laundry list of all the component pieces.

You may use whatever audio-visual aids you feel will enhance your presentation - but be wary of showing media! Film clips suck away an alarming amount of time.

Each group should rehearse their presentation beforehand and carry out a tech run at some point on the 17th. Nothing is worse than wrestling with technical problems (ie. the computer not having PowerPoint) while the clock is ticking.

Finally, each group should submit polished versions of all five assignments as a single package... this would be the "leave behind" if you were actually pitching this to an IP holder. This part of the final presentation simply requires incorporating the notes I have made on each assignment. Include a one page executive summary at the front to tie it together.

I would suggest, naturally, that you divide the labour between the presenter(s) and those polishing the assignments.

Any questions, of course, just send an e-mail.
