week9: Research Topic Feedback & Edit
Feedback:
1. it’s difficult to mix two topic together
2. If choose topic1, it is better to choose a niche independent animation to investigate its potential for psychological healing.
3. If I choose topic two, I need to be familiar with Chinese animation and have a deep understanding.
After Class Thinking: I’m thinking about comparing differences between the original and Disney’s animated film Mulan . The first part compares the story, character modeling, scene, music, and color composition, and the second part compares the cultural elements in the animation.
Reasons：
- interested in Chinese poetry
- also studied about the animated film Mulan to some extend in the blog of my previous course, so I hope to go deeper with my dissertation.
