As I make my way through context and research, and my overall FMP, I must make sure to maintain a source of constant reflection. To start I will be seeing at what I have accomplished and what I intend to work on next week to make sure I meet the deadlines of my work.
WEEK ONE
To start I made sure to complete my initial idea to set myself up to develop and to see how much changes when I get along to completing my proposal that will act as the finalisation of my idea so that I will be able to see the progression I have made with my work. I made sure to find my target audience with my initial questionnaires and demographic research. The short questionnaire allows me to see my audience and will let me use them in the future to help me along the way of my decision making, ensuring I keep to the intended path of my end product. The demographic and VALs blog further helped me define my audience and allowed me to argue against a theory of the conventions of the genre I was delving into, MOBAs. After finding my audience through questionnaires and looking into the stats and theories, I went about creating a historical blog of the evolution of MOBAs allowing me to show my reasons to following this genre and to give myself context on the past of my work to make sure I understand the codes and realise what I must do to make sure that this world I build falls into this age of art.
Next week I will be going more into characters around this genre and how to make sure I create them while not breaking the codes that have been set for me. I will also make sure to ask the audience on every choice I need to make to either back my choice or to explain why I have choose another way, which will act as a way for me to tackle the problem solving category.
