RESEARCH RESEARCH RESEARCH
This week you will create a detailed research plan of all research activities you will take to inform yourself about your project. In my power point you will see 4 areas of research that you will need to plan to research. Those are: topic research, target audience, skills research and production planning research. As this is an initial stage of the project you will start with the mind map and brainstorm what possibly you can research to cover all four areas to inform yourself about your project. You will then use the research plan document that I have imbedded in the slide No: 4 and write your finalised plan. REMEMBER this is not research yet, just a plan of what are you going to research.
I have added some of the previous students work links in power point to give you some ideas of what kind of research methods and techniques other students used and have done for their projects. Hopefully you will find this useful and not confusing as I am not asking you to start research yet, but just to get some inspirations for your project and research ideas.

This document is important part of your project and requirement of UAL, so make sure all sections of the document are completed.
