Feedback1

I found Jims tutorial today very useful, I explained my idea, and my research question, and the feedback I got about thinking how I plan to user test it, is something I can now think about and explore further. My further refined research question is: (which I will stick with for the time being)

- Can interaction and virtual reality technology enhance the emotional response within advertisement messages?

Project Aim:

To gather the research within interactive and virtual reality technology which will result in a simple prototype where you can control whether you want to explore the side of either the Victim or the Bully.

The Purpose:

To develop a new way of advertising anti bullying; enhancing the emotional response.

How?

Researching into the bigger vision of my idea by exploring emotional engagment between the character and the user by means of virtual reality... could the user actualy feel the pain of being the Victim through the characters emotion. My output of a 3D animation prototype will only scratch the surface of my research findings.

I have now started getting my visual research together for tomorrows tutorial... all of it being inspirational to help me form ideas. Now that I'm starting to feel a bit better, I will get my sketchbook started at the weekend. However much I wanted to jump right into the development of my animation, I feel I must make sure I have a clear plan of action, and the makings of a good research question, which I feel I now have.

I will see what feedback I get from my pitch next week.
