For this task, I have to write up a plan of action.
Primary Research:
I am attending the Manchester Animation Festival where I hope to find some primary research, such as films that either demonstrate the advancements in modern female character design, or lack thereof. I am also planning on making a survey from my practical development where I ask the audience to compare four different character designs and silhouettes that each represent a different decade's common design traits. In lesson we have also broken off into focus groups for certain tasks to get feedback directly.
Secondary Research:
Whilst writing my essay, I have gathered up several secondary sources such as: books, articles, interviews, and blog posts. I then triangulated these sources to form an argument that answers my essay question and alternative opinions. Information I collected here also helped guide me when painting my practical responses.
Plan:
At this point in time, I have written the main body of my essay, and need to now find a way to tie the paragraphs into one another and write a conclusion. In my visual journal, I have been comparing silhouettes of iconic characters to my own designs based on the shows from the same decades. Over the next few weeks I will continue to work into these drawings. Based on this evidence, I then designed four original characters and made a survey. After I have enough participants, I will collect the data and add this to my essay. If I have time I will do some more practical experiments based on the feedback I received in a group progress review.
