Unit 13 Professional Practice - Show-reel Review

Digital Showcase

The digital showcase is a presentation of all the Games Dev course's (mainly 2nd year) work. It was shown in 2 rooms in the media department. Work was showcased in both rooms, showing the planning an development work of the 2nd year's game trailers and the final products (trailers) being shown on the main interactive whiteboard. The year 1 games presented some of their best work from the year, including 3D work, Planning ect. certain software that are used in the course were being demo'd to the public. The showcase is designed to promote the college and the course to the public (this included; parents of current students, siblings of students and prospective students), there was also prospective employers and the college governor.



I would say the digital showcase went quite well, it achieved its point to show of the games year 2 work and capabilities and successfully advertised the course to members of the public who showed interest in enrolling or enrolling their children. it also helped to show off the current games year 1 work (our year) which according to our tutors is some of the most creative work done in games dev at shipley college. After the showcase, the video's of the game trailers were uploaded to YouTube for students and the public to review. The review for the year 2’s trailers turned out to also be a good way to advertise the college and the course externally to a wide range of the public, evidenced by a few people enrolling after seeing it.
