This week we had our unit introduction where we learned about the outlines of our course and also about our assignment brief.
We were also given a general explanation on how to develop a relevant research topic, how to organize our ideas and what academic resources can help us elaborate our critical report.
We also worked in groups and thought of potential fields of interest. Some of them are:
- Representation in animation taking into consideration gender roles, idealization and appearance of characters.
- Immersive media as opposed to real life.
- The importance of animation and how it is developing for modern audiences.
- AI technology and how it can be perceived as a menace to artists.
