For this project I have made an animated video addressing the global issue of water pollution. The aim was to inform small children about the negative effects of water pollution, I wanted to make the video as informative as one for adults but engaging at the same time. I think the audience would understand the issue and its solutions well. during this project, I could meet the design brief very successfully as all the criteria were met in terms of appeal, though I could have simplified the instructions and made the game more user friendly. My brief was also met as I could convey information and ideas using Scratch well. Over the course of the unit I could learn many techniques on coding on scratch which I think will help me in the future, by using this application as well as more complex versions.

I do not think that there are any negative sides this informative video could have as it was giving information about both sides and it did not show anything too violent if the correct thing (recycling) was done. In terms of the game it doesn’t have many negative impacts as it is short and will not be addicting as a game would be and it does not include violence at all. 

Due to this game I, have met the statement of inquiry as well as the key concept, the statement of inquiry was met because I had used creativity and knowledge to develop a game that was intended to affect the audience's perspective in a positive manner. The key concept was development and I have met this criterion throughout the term, I had developed my knowledge and understanding of the issue of water pollution, the design cycle, and about scratch and coding in general. I have developed various new skills in scratch, and they are all going to be useful eventually

To go further into this project, I had made young children at the age of 5- 7 see this video, at the end of it they found it very entertaining to watch, one of their comments was that it was easy to understand because of the voice-over. As the aim was to make sure they understand the concept I asked them a few questions at the end of the game, they were able to answer all of the successfully and this proves the fact that the video was successful.
