Major Project - Reflective Statement
I think this is one of the toughest projects I have ever undertaken in my time in education. I have felt both scared and stressed out believing I will fail this whole course if I even remotely submitted anything subpar and thus fail at having a career in animation. Not helping was the Covid pandemic which has greatly affected the university, my mental health, my course, my family, among much more. While I think I am likely to pass the course now that I have submitted all the necessary components for my major project, needless to say there is quite a bit I wish I could have done better. The reason I believe for a lot of this was simply time. Some was out of my control other times I feel I could have done something to help myself give a better outcome of the project. I cannot help but feel that while it could've gone a lot worse my project could've been a lot better if I had a bit more time such as having better time management and stopping myself from procrastinating as often.
Hey Ted - this looks all very reasonable to me. I think perhaps you need to make a decision fairly early on in terms of limiting the number of Disney princesses you're going to use as exemplars. I will say that the 'Disney princess' discussion is very well established and you might want to look at the representation of Disney's female villains - there's probably something as interesting to discuss about what those representations tell us about what society thinks about certain sorts of women... as the female villains are often much more proactive, intelligent and transgressive than the heroines - is that what codes them as 'untrustworthy'? I'd encourage you to look at these characters too because I suspect that will help you too.
