ADDITIONAL CLARIFICATION OF HAND IN

HI ALL, THE BELOW IS THE SAME AS IN THE EXPERIMENT 1 BRIEF BUT IN OTHER WORDS...

YOU NEED TO HAND IN:

1. ONE 30 SECOND MACHINIMA CLIP WHICH IS A COMPOSITE OF MACHINIMA VIDEOS YOU HAVE FOUND ON THE INTERNET. IT SHOULD CONNECT THE IDEAS OF EXPLOSION AND POROSITY (AS YOU SEE IT).

2. ANOTHER 30 SECOND MACHINIMA CLIP WHICH IS A COMPOSITE OF MACHINIMA VIDEOS YOU HAVE CREATED IN GMOD. IT SHOULD CONNECT THE IDEAS OF EXPLOSION AND POROSITY (AS YOU SEE IT) AND REFLECT THE FIRST VIDEO YOU MADE ABOVE.

3. USE TEXT IN YOUR CLIPS TO COMMUNICATE YOUR KEY IDEAS CLEARLY. IF YOU ARE WEAK IN TERMS OF SPELLING AND GRAMMAR MAKE SURE SOMEONE WHO IS GOOD AT THAT READS OVER YOUR TEXT BEFORE YOU INCLUDE IT. WRITE EVERYTHING IN THIRD PERSON (UNLESS YOU HAVE A VERY SPECIFIC IDEA FOR DOING OTHERWISE ... IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT WRITING IN THIRD PERSON MEANS, SEE THE IMAGE BELOW WHICH IS FROM HERE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_grammar

4. WE WILL BE LOOKING FOR A CLEAR CONNECTION BETWEEN YOUR HYPOTHESIS AND THE EXPERIMENTS YOU DID IN GMOD.

5. HAND IN IS BY MIDNIGHT MONDAY NIGHT.

6. GOOD LUCK!
