The Research Has Not Been Forgotten!

To be completely honest, academic research makes me uncomfortable. Looking at scientific journals or notes on theory just don't connect with me as a producer, artist, thinker and ect. My mind happens to like to work in the hear and now and I feel that I work better conducting my own form of research.

Originally for this project I couldn't see academic research being too present in my project as most of it was highly opinionated.

Since then, my idea for this project has evolved and I am taking a slight turn with my ideas. My goal now has turned from filming a minimalist crusade ethnography into a more viewer friendly, informative public service campaign advocating a reduction in the amount of media we consume as a nation and some of the pro's and con's of too much, or not enough exposure to the media. This means that I will try to look up stats and numbers on things such as ADHD rates in children over the last few years, health changes, crime rates, educational changes and other research related to my subject.

With these studies and information, I can better inform my audience with more confidence knowing that I studied the "facts" that i will be presenting and hopefully be able to encourage some changes. 

I look foreword to finding out more about my topic of study and I hope that it will strengthen my project as a whole. 

In the mean time, I will be plenty busy with other more pressing aspects of my project but there will be more information on the research in the days to come.
