'Development Trailer' with SOUND

You should now have sourced, edited & added SOUND to your current Trailer/Cut Scene - even though it may not be complete - Remember it is a work in Progress - Your END TARGET for Production is 24th June for the College Digital Showcase [4-8pm] which you will all need to attend like last year. This will be a 'fun event' where you will get to show off your talents, as well as your 'gaming abilities', as we will have ALL the consoles & games available for you & our visitors!
Review the Trailer with the sound as a TEAM and RECORD what could be improved - did you include enough 'splash images' - was the sound good quality - did you include 'release date', 'platform', age ratings, symbols - Team Logo + members & their production roles????
You should ALL be busy over the Half Term - DEADLINES for ALL UNITS to be marked is........THURSDAY 4th June 2009 - this will be pretty much, your last chance to get feedback in order to improve your grades!
