Lesson Two (A new experience)

Working in a group we had come up with an game idea for the new Tate modern competition where the winners will get their idea sold in the Tate Modern shop. The Terms were that it had to cost between £10 - £100 to make and be sold at, competition winners win £500. The game idea had to include the Tate one way or another, as a group we came up with the idea of a mother looking for the perfect gift for her child inside the Tate shop its self. So it has to be something that child can play on their own and not be bored really fast.

we have updated our game one as an interactive book and second a digital idea.

This was my second experience working in a group for this project unlike the past group i would be in this group for the coming weeks. We were given numbers and people with the same number came together and and set up the group.

This method had its pros and cons

the pros were that i was now in a group with people i may have not chosen to work with if given the choice. But we in life will always have to work with people (even more in the gaming industry) we will always come across people who we get along with and others who we don't. This was a perfect way to get to know others better and increasing confidence.

the con was that I was a little lost in the begging letting others talk while taking the role of the listener.

Working in a group is great now you have more minds coming together and talking inputting their own ideas. This was excellent when coming up with ideas for our Tate game sure for this lesson we did not get much done we jotted down the basics about the mother and child but this was really helpful for the coming lessons we took this idea and added a lot more to it. Working with a bunch of people you can have one writing while another draws and such.

That being said working in a group has its problems every week a group member was missing now this causes much headache not only do they miss out on what's going on but the following week you must go back and recap. No matter what group I have been in there has always being people who do nothing but just sit there while only a few do the work.

this all in all was a great experience not only do you see your own strengths and weakness but you also learn where you can improve as an individual.
