Initial ideas 2


as it says in my previous blog about my intial ideas, my idea was to create a four minute television program based on manga but in reality. until now i thought this task would be alright for me to cope with but recently i have been thinking that it might be too much of a challenge for myself.

i have now decided to change my idea and am now thinking of creating a documentary showing how people are represented through music, for example, people who listen to rock music are shown as either goths or emo's.

i have decided to make my documentary roughly four minutes long and i plan to rethink my textual analysis as i am not yet sure how i am going to set it out :D

Textual Analysis


For my textual analysis i will be analysing three different anime episodes from different series. these three series are phsychic academy, death note and dragonball z.

i will analyse these, commenting on technical codes, visual codes and the main key concepts.


my initial thoughts are to think about the main conventions that are involved within the genre and comment on them.

My initial ideas


my initial ideas for my ms3 coursework is going to be based around the popular genre of manga. for my coursework i willl be doing a textual analysis of three different programs from within the genre, commenting on technical codes, visual codes and the main key concepts.

then i will do a full investigation into the genre and finally as my final peice, create a four minute episode for a new manga program, based in reality. the episode will be four minutes long, and i have yet to decide what it will be about. finally i will write an evaluation, outlining and explaing what i did for my coursework. :)
