For my IP I shall be creating a dinosaur based comic with the art-style similar to Japanese poster prints. I can tell this will be successful through my research. I have seen that dinosaurs popularity will rise again soon due to the release of the new Spiderman film, the main antagonist is The Lizard.
There are also rumours circulating about a new Dino Crisis game and also rumours of a fourth Jurassic park film also bringing hype back for dinosaurs making them popular once more.
Japanese poster prints have been popular before and are now coming back into popular culture therefore it will be popular enough to put into a new IP so by combining the two topics of dinosaurs and Japanese Poster Prints I can create a comic that will feature two popular thopics.
Below is a revised IP idea
I have discovered from my research that dinosaurs have had a constant popularity throughout the discovery of their fossils. Originally we thought of them as mythical beast and creatures of fantasy this made popular news and stole the imagination of people everywhere. I discovered that the height of Dinosaurs popularity was during the fourty years from the 1960's onwards where Dinosaurs made thier cinema debut, it was here that monster movies began to grip the world Godzilla being the prime example of this. From then on Dinosaurs have been a constant theme throught popular culture from films such as Jurrasic Park and games such as Dino Crisis to TV shows like Barney, they'res plenty on the horizon aswell what with the new Godzilla film due for released in 2012 and the main villain in the new spiderman film being The Lizard.
What I have found from my research is that people still feel scared by the idea of dinosaurs and through their constant depictions as giant monsters draws me towards an IP where dinosaurs are a terrifying force that skulks in the dark, ever ominous and ever deadly this I feel would keep people interested and judging by how dinosaurs are being depicted in media in the future I feel this would be a good direction to be going in.
Through all my research i have discovered that Japenese Prints were Initially popular once they had been exported from Japan, they infuluenced some of the great western artists such as Vincent Van Gogh however, its popularity weigned and slowley started to fade out. After my research I have seen that Japanese Poster Prints, in its traditional form, shall not be continued in the future, however there is still evidence of the art style in aspiring artists, and existing artists work. I will probably try to incorporate my own style of Japanese poster print into my IP but have strong references to the original art form.

ReplyDeletePresent: Your research lacks content and diversity for both topics.
Past: There are very few examples for either topic and we have commented on this before and even given you examples to use - you have not used them to date.
Horizon: There is one example for each topic - neither of which are relevant.
Horizon scanning: For this you need to look at the next 6 to 12 months for BOTH of your topics(if you can identify media further ahead than this, all the better). Also you need to do a scan of anything else emerging that might affect your topic in the future. For example: The 2012 Olympics is an event on the Horizon that could have an influence on your topic. Another example to consider is the evolution of technology.
Forecast: There isn't one!
Forecast: In this section you are making a forecast for the future of what you think will be culturally relevant in the next 2 - 5 years. You must use the results from your present, past and Horizon research to DISCUSS and forecast future trends.
IP Justification: Your IP is not a comic - it is a theme or idea that you base products on. (Magic could be called the IP for Harry Potter).
Please look at my blog example for layout.
We DO NOT want a game or comic book idea from you at this stage. You need to back up your IP Justification with examples from your research and your forecast (as your forecast hasn't been done you may find this difficult) Realistically you have not done enough research to prove the points you are making in your IP Justification.....but as you have little else you will need to use the examples you have got.
Your research is lacking content - especially your Horizon scanning and you have no Forecast or Bibliography for me to feedback on. Your IP needs refining and justifying properly with your existing research and your referencing needs to be done within your posts.
I suggest you concentrate on finishing your horizon research and then do your forecast. You can then re-do your IP Opportunity statement and Justification, followed by your Bibliography and referencing based on this research. If you have time, you can then look at doing additional research for your past and present.
It is imperative that you get the remaining categories complete before addressing any corrections to your existing research.
YOU HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO IF YOU WISH TO PASS THIS MODULE!
