Week 7 (end of)
Where we are at, and what we have left to do...
We have all watched and transcribed our clips of each show and a few of us are still in the process of having them all phonetically transcribed too. Following a discussion with Elsa and I today we wondered if we needed to fully transcribe all of the clips and they wouldn't be shown to those completing the questionnaire nor would we use all of them in our presentation. Fundamentally, we will use the best parts of the transcript to show the extent of both the accents used and as a sample of our research.
The questionnaire which we are going to distrubute is almost complete we are still waiting for Melissa and Natalie to send their questions to Elsa so that she can add them. As soon as we have those we are done and ready to distribute them to our friends to complete.
Though we are about a week behind on our schedule, it is only the questionnaires that need completing to bring us back on schedule, so that should only take a night or two then we can get on with gathering our research.
As we have not had a group meeting in a while we plan to meet up after the LAVC lecture on monday to really get back on trakc and get ourselves up to speed.
By the end of week 8, providing all goes well we will have our results and data and then be able to decide our analysis and conclusion for the study.
Week 9 may be dedicated to compiling our results and each creating several powerpoint slides each for the final presentation. (this idea will be discussed further at the meeting on monday)
Week 10 is a 'bring everything together' week, in which we can make any last minute changes and make sure everything is ready for presenting.
By the end of week 10 the presentation needs to be totally ready.
Week 11, presentation time!!

I hope this is all ok with everyone and you all agree, see you monday!
