Research

The manner of the fact is that the research part of this is not done and as you can see it is the end of October so yes but at least fact is, is that I doubt my Design month (next month) which is going to last the whole of November so I'm continuing the Research stage into November but only the half of November the other half will be my design. 

Next Week

Next week is half term so I get a week of, what I am expected to have done after half term:
- 1st chapter draft
- A detailed plan of some sort 
- and of course keep the blog updated with anything I do 

Of course as you all should know this month be my research month and next is my design month, so the fact that a 1st chapter draft needs to be done over next week is unforeseeable for me but I suppose I do get what I want because over the past month I have been dieing to get writing. 

How each character is represented in different societies - Link to the document

The part where I discuss the information after the quotations I know gets shorter as it goes on, just as I was writing it got boring fast just writing the same over and over again more a less so I cut out the parts where I would be repeating myself and left in the original stuff.   

Oh I forgot to say I have done a first draft of a Project Proposal about 2 weeks ago forgot to upload to here, been bogged down with doing my research recently.

Research month

As I said earlier in one of my posts this month of October is my research month and is where I hope to do all of my research and any other research out of this month will be urgent, 

Things I intend to research:

- Into each character how they're represented in different societies ( P.S notes: (added 16/10/12) this point may go into November and the design period because I see this point being very large and taking me a far bit of time and to the fact a mano that researching this is very boring, so it will take me longer because I just want to get into actually writing the thing and plus I don't see the design period taking me that long to do but I don't know what the design period entails, yet.)

- Into different character types (Protagonist, Antagonist, Guardian, Contagonist, Sidekick, Skeptic, Emotion, Reason, The Player)

- Into how stories are written differently in different mediums  (for example in films, books and games) (P.S 19/10 - and look into how narrative is written for example compared to how horror to comedy is written)

- Writers that have inspired me in my writing (P.S notes: (added 16/10/12) on-going, work on this won't stop at the end of this month, it will carry on more-after)

- Collecting multiple images for image reference for each character (P.S notes: (added 16/10/12) again on-going, so I will add images as I think of them)

- ????

Some of these may be done as I am writing the actually story and as I go along through this month some things may be added, 

Presentation

Just done my presentation, shaking like a cold wet dog, got a bit of after nerves,

Evaluating it, it didn't go as planned I ended rushing through it and I didn't cover all my weak points just covered one weak point being my perfectionism which in honesty isn't that dominant in me, it's more my pessimism

Presentation & plans for the near future

Presentation

On the presentation front I think I got it done, but I'l let you know how I do on Thursday, after I presented it

here's a copy

Again it has been converted from Word to Google doc format so some miss happs may be on their. 

The near future

After the presentation is all done, dusted and out of the way, my aim is to start on the main research bulk as I said a couple week back, in which I said October would be all my research to with my FMP and any research conducted after that is either curiosity or urgency, again all the complete research shall be uploaded to here if I can

Little bit extra...

I have more recently discovered Game of Thrones and love it and I also have liked L.O.T.R for quite a while 

so yeah...
