FEEDBACK

Week 1

We were told to revise on our previous methodology such as the problems, questions, objectives. We also need to make sure that our primary data answers our objectives.

Week 2

Dr Hayati told me to reflect on the panelists' feedback and if i want to change the topic i have make a fast process as i dont have much time. 


Stuffs i need to do from the feedbacks:
-Reafirm research content (focus on character workflow for specific game instead of generic approach)
-Study character existing character bible. 
-Look for technical problem statement that enhance character mobility
-Narrow down the topics 
-Try to focusing more in new media terms 


Week 3


Here's some feedback from Dr Hayati:
-Explain traditional storytelling
-Describe previous research, how it could drives to another research
-Make the reader understand our experience as a researcher
-The metrics will help you on making the literature review
