After speaking to my tutor, I refind some of the work that I would produce on this unit down, this made the work more manageable and also made sure that I was focusing on the areas that I need.
Here are some notes from the meeting with my tutor:
Task 1 - Negotiated project - Written Project Proposal - (PhD Proposal)
This should include: Evidence of practice, that relates to the theory discussed in my dissertation, and a document to support my work - can keep a record on the blog, but then needs refining down to go in the proposal.
Remember _
Don't speculate - what is it now?
Be specific
Write like the person reading it knows nothing about the project
Must be clear
What is the critical context
What is the gap in knowledge this will fill
Cut the question down - what is the real question I am trying to answer? Define it more.
Objectives = Small steps or actions I will take to get to the aims
Aims = big steps or actions
Goals = the dreams
Test criteria - what am I using to conduct tests? Different lenses to look at the tests through
What are the testing criteria
Conclusions of those tests
Instead of an audience how can you test?
Comparison - 3D vs stop motion
Understand the rules of the theory and how to apply them
Theory - how does a practical object deliver
How do I apply the different lenses?
How do I get the answer to my question from the lenses?
What is the question?
After speaking to my tutor we agreed on the outcomes I would produce for each task. These are
Task 1 - Negotiated Project -
Research Project Bible
Finished written document
Record of research - Refined, in one place (in the proposal)
Practical tests (house, doll, 3D, into VR)
Task 2 - Professional Portfolio
CV
Business Cards with Logo
Professional Website
Social Media Platforms - Linkedin, Artstation, Instagram,
Showreel and portfolio?
Task 3 - Critical Evaluation
1500-word written evaluation
The major changes are that instead of designing and building a new village and environment I will instead be using models that I already have to conduct tests with, this will give me longer to learn how to do the 3D elements of the project. The PhD/ project proposal has also moved to become a major outcome of task 1 instead of being part of my professional portfolio, this means I have the time needed to create this properly and have the finished refined document that I need. I have also taken out the studio, and professionals research that was suggested here as this is something I already know a great deal about (as I teach it to my students) I will instead be researching places to study a PhD, and potential conferences, networking events and festivals that I could attend. This will make the workload much more manageable in this unit as I am not having to build as much and instead I will be actively working on the elements that I need for my future progression.
To help me with my master's work I have also purchased an online Blender course, to help me learn how to model, and rig in Blender. This will be important for me in the testing stage of this project as it is a skill I need to complete the project, I will need to be able the interior of the house, and it is also helpful that I know how to rig character so that if I get time I can add some into my work. Here is the course that I have bought:
