Narrative: Additional research

Initially we thought the direction we wanted to go in was to travel away from England and to explore the industrial revolution in different countries.One way in which I thought that we could do this was through the wars that occur in this time period, but after a discussion with our tutor we realised that we were drifted away from the focus of the industrial revolution and just focussing on the time period. We decided to continue to dig deeper into the industrial revolution I decided to explore any folklore and inventors of the time. Through my research I discovered that folklore wasn't the route that I think would be the best to go down. But the Inventors of the time would be a great way to sum up the industrial revolution an era that was pushing forward because of the inventions of great people. We have all decided to explore the topics that we found the most interesting and to create stories from these things. Then we will pick the story that we all agree to have the most potential.

Narrative: What was the industrial revolution

After talking to Alan our group realized we were heading a little in the wrong direction as the industrial revolution was occurring in Europe and American in our given time period and unless we had a very strong reason for doing so trying to place our animation in another country like Asia it wouldn't really be considered showing the industrial revolution. Keeping that in mind I thought I would look back at the basics and find what the industrial revolution was really all about. This research actual gave me a few idea which I will propose to the group later today.

Narrative: Research

Looking at the Industrial Design side of the revolution I have gathered some information about the role of Design in the inventions and its influence by the art movements.

Narrative: Research on style during the 19th century

My part of the research was looking at the style of the 19th century. This is just a brief overview of the different cultures styles at the time, I found that it was very difficult finding information about countries that were not Europe and America.

Narrative: Research on politics and wars


We decided to divide up our research and I had the task of researching the Political issues of the time and any wars that occur. I found that there were a lot of political injustice and the country was ran by a corrupted government my scribe document goes into more detail about my findings.

My group met today and we had a discussion about what we wanted to focus in on, we have decided to explore different countries. I will be doing some more in-depth research on the the wars that took place on foreign land and hopefully this will allow us to explore different story lines and inspire us to decide on what the story line for our animation will be.
