In this tutorial we spoke of cultural understanding and how it could be important to my designs.
I need to research into character archetypes and break my work down into the chapters i want to write. Mike said everything seems okay so far.
In the practical element he said i need to identify what world my characters live in. Also think of a plan B incase i can't get hold of the man who told the story.
Start researching bats and audience.
Read 99 ways to tell a story by matt madden and skilful huntsman. (update: this book was okay but not very helpful at all)
Look at other folk tales and how they are told.

COP3 planning
I have decided that my essay will be about how the use of colour theory and other theories such as the use of shapes and different techniques are important to character design especially in designing archetypes.
This will hopefully include a chapter on a case study where i can show professional uses of these things, and a chapter on my practical which will include a lot of character development using lots of different theories trying to make my character the best it can be and show that it is better after all these processes. Then i intend to design one or two characters for my extended practice module that will go from the research and story stage through all the development and end up with a style sheet and turnarounds and a hopefully an animation test.
So far I have written up my notes (which has come to 6559 words) plus 500 words that could be used in the essay.
I have created a plan of when I need to have things done by and i will try and stick to it as best i can.

COP 3 tutorial 1
From this tutorial we found out that:
I need to find a question but it could be something along the lines of representation of characters, archetypes etc.
Some things to research are:
-Archetypes
-Gender
-Representation
-Anthropomorphism
-Appealing
-Environment
-Monomyth-heros journey
-Tropes+character design
Mike said that actually creating a world for your character to live in as actually almost as important as the character itself as it defines boundaries for the character like a world with high gravity would have characters that have adapted to live there. He wants me to create some characters within a world for the next tutorial which is:Wednesay 28th october
