Over the past two weeks I have managed to structure my ideas and begin writing my proposal. Writing down my ideas in this way has enabled me to refine the details of what exactly I am investigating. This then enabled me to choose the most suitable research methods for the project. Using a variety of books and internet resources in addition to what I have been taught at the Campus Sessions, I have made informed decisions as to which methods will be most appropriate to use and I feel confident with my choices.
I have decided to investigate the affect Continued Professional Development (CPD) has on actors in the film industry. I will investigate my hypothesis that most actors in America do CPD whereas most actors in England do not, and that is why American actors are more successful. I will measure success by the number of awards won. I will interview casting directors and acting coaches to discover their views on whether CPD makes actors more successful. I will also ask professional actors to fill out questionnaires on the topic. I will research into which acting techniques are most popular with the most successful actors of our time, and then study this technique to use when performing a monologue for my show reel.
I have learnt so much with regards to planning a project. What I have found the most challenging is finding secondary research for my project. I am continually looking for relevant articles and any journals I can find on the subject area.
