ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS (a) TO (j) BELOW

(a) Please state the ‘question’ that the ‘research via practise’ (terms 2 and 3) will try to answer or explore?

How has media enhancements effected the class divisions of social realism and their creators?







(b) What type of artefacts/experiments that will be produced/conducted (e.g. short video clips, short animation sequences, building visualisation, audio listening tests with focus groups e.t.c.)? Note it is accepted that this may change as the research progresses past the first few artefacts.

I might create film clips, surveys and create focus groups.







(c) Have you checked that the research meets the university ethical guidlines and will not require approval (if NOT checked or it requires approval then state the date on which you expect to obtain approval)? IF UNSURE WHAT THIS MEANS TALK TO YOUR SUPERVISOR!

Yes

(d) Have you checked that appropriate resources and facilities exist for you to produce/conduct the artefacts/experiments (If NO then explain how you will obtain the required appropriate resources and facilities)?

Yes

(e) How will you evaluate and/or reflect on the artefacts/experiments produced/conducted in (b) above (e.g. reflection, survey, focus group, statistical analysis e.t.c.)?

I will possibly evaluate my experiments by reflection, focus groups and statistical analysis.





(f) Please write down below the preparatory work you will do for the first artefact over the Christmas period:


I will gather information on avaialable renatal cinema room and organise a varied focus group

(g) What is the detail of the first artefact that will be demonstrated to the supervisor?

I will get a focus group to watch to social realistic films, from two directors from different backgrounds, maybe Shane Meadows and Ken Loach. I will get them to answer a survey and post these answers on my online journal. Using the survey, I will try and find out what each person liked and disliked about the film, possibly find out what the focus group would of liked to add.






(h) On what date will the first artefact be shown to the supervisor? Please remember that on this date you will also provide a short 300 word evaluation and/or reflection summary as well as the actual artefact.

Artefact 1- 03/02/09
Artefact 2- 16/02/09
Artefact 3- 03/03/09
Artefact 4-17/03/09
Artefact 5- 21/04/09
Artefact 6- 05/05/09


(i) How will you present the research conclusions from the artefacts/experiments and evaluations during week 43 (e.g. written document, slides and/or documentary film)? PLEASE NOTE THAT THE RESEARCH CONCLUSIONS MUST BE IN A FORM THAT CAN BE HANDED IN IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE PRESENTATION i.e. a permanent record of your conclusions and arguments needs to be submitted immediately after the presentation in week 43.

Possibly an evaluation document and slides








(j) On what date will you be presenting your draft research conclusions to the supervisor for review (it is suggested 2 weeks before week 43 presentations)?
