Research Statement
The research topic I have been working on is centered on the
composition of a story that blends cinematic animation, interactive media, and
literature in a complementary way. I am exploring the topic through the
creation of a user
driven animation that contains some of the poignant elements that have been
filtered form children's stories over the last few generations. The intended form would adapt contemporary
devices from cinematography and interactive media, mixing text, animated
characters, and live action through camera movement, turning pages, and a touch
screen in a way that I am trying to compile seamlessly and coherently. I hope
that the final product is an emotionally complex artifact that children and
parents will find meaningful and my research will yield revelations into the
creation of mixed platform narration.
Research Topic: Construction of a blended media children’s
story with complicated emotional impact
Narrowed research topic:
·
Relationship
between phrases, implication, and interpretation across cinematography,
literature, and interactive media
·
Adaptation
of a book to an interactive animation
·
The
generation of communicative elements unique to hybrid media
More specific topic: How can I invoke the emotional impact of
a somber bedtime story in a contemporary form without corrupting the intimate
quality of a book?
Research Questions:
1. How can analysis of overarching
communicative structure aid the fusion of blended media forms?
2. What are the constituent phrases of
cinematography, literature, and interactive media?
3. How do the dialects of
cinematography, literature, and interactive media function (constructively and
destructively) when combined?
