Today I recorded three primary sounds for my prototype which included whimpering, howling and an incorrect answer sound for use by the fox and incorrect answer scenes throughout my storybook. I recorded them using a mobile phone and used an online programme to convert them to MP3 files; I then loaded them in audactity and edited the length of the clips and removed sounds that were heard in the backgroud at the end. I then was able to export these as MP3 files and they were ready to be converted into my library for use in a variety of my scenes. I then went back over my Multimedia Planning and updated the sound section, created screenshots of all my animations so far and then decided to change the planned picture of a road sign and instead use scenic captures of a beach and a forest to represent answer choices on question six instead. I then went through my entire prototype so far and opened my inital plan and ensured that everything was included that I had hoped for and to check that all the animations and newly added sounds were working correctly. I found that I had missed two sound clips on incorrect answer pages that I needed to go back to and adjust and also updated my plan to show changes that I had decided to make along the way. Next lesson I hope to try and change the variables on question nine and ensure that only one snack can be placed on the plate for the game to progress, I will also start my designs on the well done page which will almost be the end of the scenes I have to create before I move on to the mini game. For my third prototype I hope to include all the multimedia and the pages up to the start of the mini game for her to see; when I present my final product I will have incorporated my mini game into the project. I also need to type up my second prototype meeting into a Blogger post, outlining what was achieved and what I hope to complete in order to meet the needs of my client.
