Direction concepts/Digital Culture/Business media- Final project Year Project Proposal Survey

Final project Year Project Proposal Survey 

  As part of my research for my final year project, I decided to conduct a small survey to gain insight primarily to gain insight if they had struggled with studying poetry as a former/current secondary school student. 

 If so, I wanted to explain why as to gain a better understanding why they feel/felt the secondary school method of teaching the medium didn't apply to them. 

 Furthermore, I also enquired if poetry was taught/presented through an interactive experience complete with visual imagery/animation and audio, would it aid them in gaining a better understating of the poem's core themes and emotions. 

 Finally, I wanted to hear their own personal opinions to how poetry can be taught more effectively in general. 

Below are a selection of screen shots of how the questions were presented on survey monkey.






   Results 

  After posting the link of my survey to Facebook and receiving answer for several days, I managed to get some useful feedback for this project.
The main take-aways from this survey that over 75 precent of those who responded (the majority of which consisted of third level students) stated that they had struggled/are struggling with poetry. If the medium were to be taught using animations/visuals, not only would it help memorize and understand the medium, but make it more engaging as a whole.
 Overall, this survey helped me gather a general overview of what where peoples thoughts on poetry, how it was it taught in school and if presenting the medium through animation and visuals would make it more engaging/easier to learn.

Direction Concepts- Group Feedback session

Direction Concepts- Group Feedback session This week I attended a group feedback session with Conor O’Callaghan and Muireann Hayes. Throughout this session, we all shared our final project ideas through a presentation while asking questions and giving feedback to one another. However, before I talk about what happened during the session, I will briefly explain my decision to change in the direction of my project.  Up until this point, my overall project idea was to adapt a sci-fi short story into a 3D motion comic that had interactive elements. However, after spending some time on researching 3D software, I realized that I didn't poses the technical knowledge or resources to go through with my original idea. Furthermore, there are very limited learning resources related to creating 3D comics, meaning that I would have no clear method or resources for implementing my idea.    For these reasons, I had to rethink my overall project idea to something that I could realisticall...

Direction concepts-Geometry nodes, Animation , Lighting , Compositing and Rendering in Blender

 For this week, I continued my work on my blender doughnut, exploring more of the features that the software provides. I first used the geometry nodes to add sprinkles on the icing surface of my doughnut. I did this by creating a cylinder mesh, downsizing and altering it's shape to resemble a single sprinkle. I then used this as the base object for my geometry nodes to copy all over the icing's surface. Tools such as the weight paint or the poission disk, allowed me to control the location and density of the sprinkles. I was even able to randomize the position of each sprinkle using the random node. After I was satisfied with the doughnut's overall look , I then made of few more sprinkle shapes, inserted them as a group in the geometry nodes and the applied a randomized colour for all of them. This gave the sprinkles a more realistic look. As a last touch, I also added a few sprinkle balls by manually duplicating and placing spherical meshes around the doughnuts surface. Sp...

Proposal Document Rough Draft

 Note, this is a rough draft of the final year document. Sections, graphs and citations will be added in before the deadline. Final Year Project Proposal Document   Abstract – 150 Words WIP Section 1 -Introduction (250 words)   For my final year project, I will create an interactive multimedia 3D visual adaptation of Gerald Manley Hopkin’s poem, “Spring”. This 3D experience will transform the poem into a 3D environment that the user can walk through and experience. The landscape will both represent the poems visual imagery and metaphorical messages. The experience will start in a winter forest, the landscape dead and cold. As the user slowly walks forward, a disembodied voice will narrate the poem. The words spoken will have a direct effect on the environment around the user, bringing life into the forest, through animations and visual effects. However, since one of the key themes of the poem is the passage of time and the loss of innocence, the environment will...
