Week 8 marks the end of this course. The team worked tirelessly to finish the video project. It was a great experience to work and socialize at the same time. I loved this project so much, and it was a break from the traditional tasks. Below are my reviews for four interesting videos that other team members produced.

Part 1: Review Other Teams' final video projects

1- Generative AI in Gaming by Enhydra Engineering

The video covers the implementation of using generative AI in the gaming industry. The topic is covered well with a focused central idea on three types of AI implementation. Although the transition sentences made the presentation clear, I recommend adding additional text overlay for this type of presentation. This will guide the audience, especially on a dense subject. The start with an appropriate use of humor is an excellent way to gain the audience's attention. The quality of research and teamwork is apparent with supported specific examples of games and the name of technology. Overall, the video production quality is excellent, balanced, and engaging. The video is suitable for a general audience, but discretion is advised for children due to some scenes.

2- AR/VR in Education and Healthcare by Otter Devs

The presentation discusses the practical applications of augmented reality and virtual reality in education and healthcare. The topic was covered well with visual aids that made it easier for the audience to follow the subject chronologically. The team did an excellent job researching the topic and providing a robust analysis. While the topic is fascinating, more videos and a smooth handoff between the speakers are needed. The video is appropriate for all ages and does not require expertise. Although the longer video targets a professional audience, I recommend enhancing it with additional engaging elements like dynamic animation, explanatory videos, or any other add-ons to grab people's attention and keep them engaged. Overall, the presentation is very informative and well-organized, with a somewhat engaging delivery.

3- Professional Video: Brain-Computer Interface by Gigabit Goon Squad

The presentation was delivered with excellent narration that captivated the audience from the start. The Gigabit Goon Squad team has done a great job delivering this complex topic, making it accessible to all viewers. The subject is extensively researched, providing in-depth insights. Teamwork is evident throughout the presentation, while the coherence of the content is maintained. The presentation is clear; however, I would suggest using keyword phrases in the bullet points instead of long sentences and adding more visual aids like graphics, photos, and images to accompany the points. This will help convey the message without overwhelming and cluttering the slides. The video is more appropriate for technology professionals than the public. Overall, the quality of the video production is great.

4- The Eternal Human by Super4 Web Solutions

Excellent presentation with precise, engaging delivery. Despite the broad topic, the team managed to keep it focused. The video presentation is high quality and has content supported by visual aids throughout. The topic is covered well with quality research and evident teamwork. While a few terminologies are presented in this presentation that may gear it toward technology professionals, much of the video remains appropriate for a broad audience.

 

Part 2: Keep Up With Your Learning Journal

Over the course of 8weeks, I learned a lot from my class, especially from my amazing team. During our last video project, we collaborated daily for two weeks straight using instant messaging, video, and audio conferencing to share ideas. The most exciting part of working with the team was seeing the seed of an idea grow through the collective efforts of each member. The project was divided into four segments, and each member took responsibility for developing their part. However, everyone was also ready to assist each other in case any issue arose.
