Task 02: Proposal

LECTURE

Preliminary ideas should not be too specific, instead look at your questions and objectives then create an outcome based on the message you wish to convey. Data collection should include answering our research questions and whilst achieving that, discover additional data by doing netnography such as interviews, google surveys, etc. 

Deadline: Until Monday 07/01 to submit data collection. 

Method of Submission: Pre-recorded video, similar to proposal, but use Zoom/Discord to record (video size about 100MB). 

Put your submission:

1) Video presentation 

2) Two Decks

• Summarisation of your data collection (Summary)
• Another version of full data collection. (Everything collected)

Think about the message you want to give for your outcome. You can choose 2 of the questions out of your research, decide your message. Decide what is the best form to deliver that message/culture. Can be digital, physical, no limit for size.

26/01/2022 (Wednesday)

Today, my group and I called to discuss our data collection and results. Below is our meeting minutes. 

During this meeting, we talked about our contributions for the art book as well as what page dimensions we would like. Then, we started creating our presentation slides.

Later that night, I started creating a Google Forms Survey for my data collection, it was specifically regarding personas. I used general questions that asked about age, and if they played games as well as more complex ones that required written answers (E.g. Why do you believe people have online personas?).

FEEDBACK

27/01/2022 (Thursday)

Good proposal. some comments:

1- RQ1 - How can we create/simulate the safe haven concept for the viewer with our projects?

2- Best ideas: Project idea 1, 2 and 5 - Execution wise and resource capacity

31/01/2022 (Monday)

General Feedback: Issues in recording separately are different audio quality, & file size gets very big. Next time, please record using Zoom instead. Please record with all members (some people recorded with less members and sent twice). Preliminary ideas cannot be very direct, its not wrong but it's not the direction that should be taken as you have to see the objectives and research questions.

REFLECTION

This assignment was fun as it pushed me to think about how I must create the survey in a manner that would be comfortable for the interviewees whilst collecting various types of answers. Everyone in my group was very helpful with posting the survey and asking friends and family to do it for more data collection. During this week's meeting, it was interesting to listen to everyone's new ideas and suggestions for the artbook again and I was happy to see that we were focusing on the research that I collected for personas. Additionally, it was my first official time voice interviewing people so it was quite different experiencing that in real time and I feel like a gained a new skill in data collection now.
