6DM022: Week 1 (15th-21st october): Introduction

For this module, the aim is to produce a professional piece of writing that fits into what we want to aim and what you want to do in the future when going into the animation industry or others companies related to the course. It's also creating a piece that forms a good argument and shows your own personal approach in this creative movement aswell as showing that we know a deeper understanding into subject matter we are deeply interested in.

as part of our research, our lecturer Samantha moore put up some suggestive resources we could use for our research and practice within this module.
