In the proposal submitted Nigel gave feedback about my assignment – The phrase “good work” in the title is too vague, what qualifies as good?

This question sparked a series of thoughts for me. In my dissertation, I explored the definition of a work as good or bad and what factors determine this definition. Although I mentioned in my essay the impact and importance of happy endings on a work, I did not clearly articulate what makes a work classified as good.

The definition of what is good or bad for a work is relative. Everyone’s idea of what constitutes a good work may be different. Some people may focus more on the gripping and tense developments of the plot, while others may value the depth and themes explored in the work. The definition of good writing should therefore take into account the tastes and preferences of different readers.

In addition to personal preference, a good work should have some common characteristics. Firstly, it should be able to resonate with the reader and resonate emotionally. A good work can move the heart and allow readers to find their own stories and emotional experiences within it. Secondly, a good work should have unique and vivid characters. By portraying in-depth characters, the work can better convey emotions and ideas. In addition, a good work should have a compelling story structure and a tight narrative style to keep the reader’s interest and desire to read.

However, to judge whether a work is good or not, one also needs to take into account the cultural context and the time period. The definition of a good work may vary from culture to culture and from time to time. A good work should be able to resonate with the current social context and provoke dialogue and reflection

• On graduation which area or environment of production do you wish to focus upon and why?

I would like to work in the field of animation or game design. Although I am an animation major, I am also interested in concept design and stylized work, so I would like to work in these areas.

• What skills will you need to attain the standards required for vocational practice?

I think that first of all I need to improve my proficiency in all kinds of conventional 3D software, but I also need a more diverse and differentiated aesthetic.

• How will you showcase your FMP practice for the final shows?

For my FMP, I will express my work through an animated short film. It will be presented in a combination of 2D and 3D, and I will try to incorporate some Chinese style into it.

• Is it important to directly connect the thesis research to your practical work?

For myself, the thesis and the practical work are two separate directions, and for the thesis research it will give me something to think about for my work. But it does not significantly affect my work.

• Do you have an area of research you wish to conduct that is unrelated to practical element?

From my own point of view, I am still very interested in the influence and development of costume on animation.
