Timeline reflection - March 2022

I have managed to stick to most of my deadlines that I set at start where I made the timeline of my project. Due to mocks in January, I fell slightly behind on some of my research, however by March I have managed to catch up and include all the relevant sections I needed to.  I have a final piece of evidence I want to reflect on within the next week, but then I am ready to plan my dissertation. I have gathered all the information I need for my dissertation within this blog, so I am confident I can create a well informed and in depth piece of writing.   When I started my project, I did suggest completing some primary research to gather some personal opinions in my local area. However, as I progressed, I realised that this was unnecessary as many valid opinions and statistics have already been collected in every field which benefitted my topic excellently. Instead of wasting time completing unnecessary primary research, I could put more effort into my case studies which were mor...

Using Goodreads and Rotten Tomatoes

For many of my comparisons, I used the websites of Goodreads and Rotten Tomatoes to compare the books with the films or tv shows. I wanted to use these websites as they incorporate views of the public and audience as well as professional critics who have expert knowledge in their field. I thought this would be more useful to my project than using a few academic papers or dissertations and taking information from them as they wouldn't be representative sources and would not give a wide range of ideas from across the globe.  Goodreads is the world's largest sight for books recommendations and its purpose is to give honest reviews to help people find the books that they might enjoy. Therefore, because of the diversity of locations that reviews are published from, and the huge number of ratings each book receives, I thought it would give a representative and reliable sample which was more suited to my debate.  Rotten Tomatoes is the world's most trusted recommendation source fo...

EPQ Plan

 My main target for my EPQ is to answer the big question:        Are books ruined when they are taken to the TV or film screen? Throughout my life, I have heard and seen a lot of opposing arguments in response to this question, so I am setting myself the task to see if books are generally better when transformed into visual entertainment, or whether they should be left as they were created on paper. Although this topic may be slightly opinion based, I will remain as neutral as possible, and use the reviews of critics, the general public and the winning of awards to come to my conclusion. General aims:  Complete - October 2021 - Case study on classics & whether or not they were successfully made into films. Little Women, Pride & Prejudice, The Great Gatsby. Complete - December 2021 -   Case study on some more modern / children series such as Harry Potter or the Chronicles of Narnia and the impact both the books and films have had on society. W...
