Context of Practise 3
Further Character Analysis
Further Character Analysis
- This week:
- I started writing my essay and needed to do some further research for my character analysis section.
- What went well:
- I sent my essay plan and first drafted paragraphs to Mike, who provided some feedback. He liked that I had planned out each section in great detail, which gives a good overview of what I plan to explore and what further research needs to be done. Here is the initial plan which I had sent to him:
- However, despite this, I still needed to conduct further research from the small mind-maps I produced last week. I wanted to find some more books explaining body language in a more general day-to-day scenario and I found this book called "Understanding Body Language" by communication Studies Specialist, Gordon Wainwright. I also found this interesting read by former FBI Special Agent, Joe Navarro, called "The Dictionary of Body Language," which both provided a lot of research for further analysis.
- I was able to effectively analyse characters easier, with this additional knowledge and created this small research booklet on my general ideas:
- What could be improved:
- My essay phrasing and style needs improvement, as it is coming across much more informal. I explained to Mike that I prefer writing to just get my ideas down, initially, before going back over my work to re-phrase and re-draft so it sounds less like a conversation. This is something I will keep in mind, however when I continue drafting.
- Next week:
- I will be submitting the first 2,500 words of the essay, starting animating of my characters and continuing drafting the second half of the essay.
