Introduction
This week, apart from sharing our research topics, we also went over the assessment criteria for the literature review. Furthermore, we also analyzed some literature reviews from former students, which clarified some of our questions.
Assessment Criteria for the Literature Review
- Establishment of research potentials and objectives
- Relevance of Literature and referencing
- Writing style and communication
- Use of citation and referencing conventions
Further Comments
Even though I still have not decided on a specific topic of interest, I started researching which bibliography I will be using for my thesis if I want to explore the horror genre and Tim Burton’s animations.
Bibliography on Tim Burton:
- Kempf, H. C., Gallo, L. Burton, T. (2009) The Art of Tim Burton. China: Steeles Publishing.
Bibliography on the Horror Genre:
- Sipos, T. M. (2010) Horror Film Aesthetics. Creating the Visual Language of Fear. Jefferson, North Carolina and London: McFarland & Company, Inc.
