~ Research ~ Journal Entry 8

I have made a google document where I have begun to look at different sources and take some notes where I have been looking into TCKs more closely. This will also help me to develop ideas for the content of my stop motion animation.

~ Meetings with Supervisor 1 & 2 ~ Journal Entry 7

Meeting 1

Date:

What was discussed: In the first meeting, I showed Mrs. Murphy my first few blog posts, and what were my initial ideas. By this time, I already had my final idea and she thought that the stop motion was a very interesting and challenging project. Since it was only the first meeting, we didn't go into too much detail about anything, but mostly talked about some general things about the personal project itself. Overall, it went well!


Meeting 2

Date: 9th October 2015

What we discussed: In the second meeting, we went through managebac looking through and double checked my project question and chosen global context. We also wrote the criteria and goal, thus finishing the requirements needed for managebac. In addition, we also explored some interesting ideas on youtube. However, I had wanted our meeting to be on monday, because in the previous post where I posted the picture of the timeline goals, I had set the goal to finish with basic research + finalising question by wednesday the 7th. This shows I'm a little behind on what i had intended to do by that specific date, so from now on I will co-ordinate better.



In my next post I will be showing some research I have gathered from sources, on TCKs as well as stop motion animation creation.

~ Plan/Timeline for the next several weeks ~ Journal Entry 6

I have decided that it would be very helpful if I make a rough plan/timeline which I can follow for the next several weeks to keep myself on-track. The reason why I would like to do this is because it is an efficient and organized way to make sure that the personal project doesn't just get forgotten, with all the homework we are given. I would say that the project I have chosen is quite challenging, because it requires several important stages: the stage of research, because to make a video I will need as much information possible. Then the main stage which I would like to devote most of the project time we have is drawing and taking the pictures. To make a good stop motion animation, a lot of time is needed - it is very time consuming, so I want to make sure that I manage my time very well and carefully. Also because editing needs to be done: adding narration, music..etc. Also, if I want to provide further information on TCKs, for example brochures.



I will try to achieve things by the dates I have set myself, and I have also written how I will manage this. I will have my second meeting with my supervisor on this friday the 9th, although on the paper I said that I would schedule it for monday. This shows how already it is difficult for me to manage my time! On my next post I will talk about the two meetings I had, the first one because I forgot to mention it earlier.
