COP 3 - Progress 3



RESEARCH GATHERED.

The uncanny

‘The uncanny s intimately entwined in language, with out we conceive and represent what is happening within ourselves, to ourselves, to the world.’



It is different (yet strangely the same)’-

‘The fundamental character of our being in the world is uncanny.’ (Royle.n, 2003, p.4)

‘No one doubts that our earliest childhood experiences have left indelible traces on our inner selves’ (Freud.s, 2003, p.3)

Freud, S. and McLintock, D. (2003). The uncanny. penguin books.



Empathy - Why it matter, and how to get it


‘We tend to be pessimistic, even cynical about other people’ (Krznaric.R, 2014, p.3)

‘’Younger children were as yet unable to consider another person's point of view’ (Krznaric.R, 2014, p.10)

‘Other people have different tastes, experiences and worldviews than our own’ (Krznaric.R, 2014, p.11) I also found a book on anthropomorphism - Thinking with animals - Which is helping back up my case studies section.



CASE STUDIES -

MULAN - UP - HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME - RATATOUILLE .

I also made a survey to get some feedback on things I have investigated.

LAUAN601 - Progress 2.



This week I began the essay its self, starting a draft of chapter 1 and 2.   I found that making a plan for how I will set out my essay to be the most helpful way for me to sort my self out.



How are we going to structure chapter 2?


Begin by opening out the chapter






First topic. - The importance of Relatability in character design.


500 words or so on that. - at least 3  quotes.






New paragraph next topic - Empathising with a character - can we empathise with the wrong character.


450 words - 3 quotes.






New paragraph next question -  Culture in character design? Can it affect an audience.


500 words - 3 quotes.






New paragraph next questions -


500 words - 3 quotes.


50 words of concluding section.


I also visited Gill this week who was very helpful.





For my practical I have desided to focus on redesigning the jetsons.










Ive also made some pages of developing an understanding of the characters and how they've been designed.
