I attempted to shorten down my area of research into a specific field with the second round of proposals. These I discuss with Mrs. Sumita Sarkar.
Proposal 1
Name Rishabh Arora
What is the theme or topic area that you are hoping to investigate in your research project?
Examining the impact of pro-environmental animation on an audience’s behavior. And thus understanding how an animation designer can cause the most impact.
Can you identify two or more questions that the research will help you go some way towards answering?
- What constitutes behavior change?
- How does a person interact cognitively with an animation film?
- What elements of the animation are responsible in causing change?
- Can an animator gear a film for impact?
- Till what level can an animated film asking people to act pro-environment, work?
What sort of approaches will you employ to collect data for your research enquiry? For example, if you were going to interview students – how many would you interview? What sorts of themes would you be questioning them about?
Interview audiences to such films
Case studies on films and their impact
Testing on film audience
Interview animators gearing films for impact
Literature review
Interview psychologists on behavior and design
Present findings on how to gear a pro-environmental animation film for impact
What is the purpose of your research? Why is it useful?
More and more films are being made with an objective to motivate individuals or communities to pro-environmental action; I want to attempt to understand whether its even plausible for an animation film to cause impact beyond creating awareness. Do examples of such films exist? If not, is it likely for a film to achieve that in the future?
- Study impact of a design, not just behavior

- Study impact of a design, not just behavior
- Study the range of impact that can be caused
- Possibly study the impact of Communication Design on Behavior
Proposal 2
Name Rishabh Arora
What is the theme or topic area that you are hoping to investigate in your research project?
Examining effective storytelling through interaction design in India
Can you identify two or more questions that the research will help you go some way towards answering?
- What constitutes effective storytelling
- What examples exist of effective storytelling through interaction media in India
- How can Indian interaction designers use elements from their culture to better the effectiveness of their storytelling
- How does a user interact with an interactive product, what factors are involved?
What sort of approaches will you employ to collect data for your research enquiry? For example, if you were going to interview students – how many would you interview? What sorts of themes would you be questioning them about?
Literature review
Websearch
Interview TA experiencing Indian websites
Interview Indian interaction designers attempting storytelling
What is the purpose of your research? Why is it useful?
India is a country that is doing well in absorbing new digital media like interactive products, and it has an ever growing population of people using interactive products regularly. But are we being able to communicate through these products? Is storytelling even an objective for Indian interaction designers? What are the implications of either attempting or not attempting storytelling for Indian interaction designers?
I was still pretty unclear on how to focus down my research.
