For this assignment, I’m writing a draft literature review for my final major project (FMP) thesis. I need to pick a research question related to our course, explain my research goals (150–200 words), and find academic sources to support my ideas. This will help build the base for my thesis proposal. I’ll use Harvard referencing and make sure all sources are cited properly. The feedback I get on this will help me improve my final proposal.
Nigel asked us some questions to help us think about our interests and how they link to our FMP. Here are my answers:
- What area do you want to focus on after graduation?
I want to work on character modeling and animation in films and games. I enjoy building detailed characters with a good story. - What skills do you need?
I need to improve my animation and get better at world-building in Unreal Engine. I’ve started learning these in Term 1 but need more practice. - How will you show your FMP?
My FMP will be a short film that shows my skills in storytelling, animation, and character design. It will be shown at the final exhibition. - Is your thesis connected to your practical work?
Yes. Both focus on stylization, virtual worlds, and themes like motivation and getting lost in digital spaces like games. - Is any of your research unrelated to your film?
No, all of it is linked. The research helps shape the ideas in my film.
