For my dissertation I want to research if people have a common preference in animation, in the way we read images. I will be looking at 2D and 3D animations.
Themes and Issues
What makes us like a specific type of media more than the other? Is our preference based on intuition or nostalgia? (or both)
The maker and the viewer’s point of view.
Realism vs. fantasy.
What happens if a movie looks 3D, but is actually 2D?
Methods and sources
Analysis of various movies based on society’s reaction.
Do research on what goes into the making of a 2D animation vs. 3D.
Interview makers and viewers, different standpoints.
Looking at research on human touch, and it’s importance in animation. As well as imperfections.
Visual Material
