Now that my essay is complete, I can think about presentation in full capacity. As I predicted, the practice presentation helped quite a lot, so I used a lot of material there. In order not to repeat myself, I’ll just highlight what I’ve changed
Nothing much changed here. I’ve added objectives sentence and updated the presentation plan.
This is a new important slide on methodology as readers/viewers must understand how I came to the conclusions and what support sources I used for analysis. The sources remained the same. They proved to be working well.
Definitions slide changed slightly. I decided to give a visual scheme of how Sweetser and Wyeth developed conditions theory, and also I’m referring to it in the written essay, when I discuss the presence of time mechanics in skills-challenge balance conditions. I believe that Sweetser and Wyeth just made a more detailed set of conditions, which overall can be included into Csikszentmihayi’s original condition.
This is a developd version of micro and macro flow slide. I’ve researched the topic and it fitted very well into my essay.
I also updated case studies slide as now I have decent analysis and several outcomes. Of course I will explain more when I add voice over.
This is another new slide based on discussion part of the essay, where I present evidence that time relates to at least one of the basic flow conditions: skills-challenge balance. I’m mostly elaborating on this aspect here and showing the scheme of these time influence in both games to compare. Other two conditions are worth mentioning, but since time is not as significant there, a brief not would be enough.
And, finally, updated outcomes, that I’ll elaborate on more verbally. They come directly form essay’s conclusion section.
So I’m happy with the presentation and think that it reflects well on written essay. I guess, I’ve simplified it enough to make it as clear and coherent as possible. Presentation video you can find in a separate post.
