Tutorial with Lyndsey

my working title; how can you produce an animated cartoon series?
My type of report; industry report

 -background ( the history of animated series, how it became, English, American and japan Cartoons.) 

 - research question; how can you produce an animated cartoon series in the modern era.
I need to re write the question. I need to focus On smaller areas instead of having such a wide coverage of different cultures of animation. For this reasoning I will only be focusing on American and English cartoons. 

 - overall aims; to look at different routes into distributing an animated cartoon, through companies/self distributing, look at the process from pre-production, production, pitching/ getting  funding, creating an successful series, target audience.  Overall looking at the reality of myself being able to create and successfully produce an animated series after graduating. I need to slim line my areas of research so I’m just going to focus on production and pitching/funding. 
Research methods;
- books on how to do, history of cartoons ect, books on previous cartoons
- online interviews by animation producers of current and finished cartoons
- case studies into old cartoon series
- talk to self publishing animators and ask to interview them
- research into companies, potential all courses and internships
- research into publishing companies such as amazon prime and Netflix and YouTube.

 - table of contexts

 Chapter one;
methods of preproduction of a cartoon animated series (2d focoused)
- finding a team, pilots , story boarding ect.

Chapter two;
How to get funding
-pitching, crowd funding, raising money, sponsors, doing work in own time whilst working ect

 Chapter three;  how to distribute
-Netflix, amazon prime.. as options
- going through companies Such as Disney, Nickelodeon, cartoon next work, bbc
- self publishing on YouTube and other social media
Tv/onlinfe platforms/social media/
Chapter four;
Prodocuing the series
- time, money
-  technology
- methods
Chapter 5;
How to make a successful cartoon 
- making fan base, making it economical, making money back
Chapter six; possible routes for a newly graduate/ plan
Once again, I need to slim line my research. I have decided to focus researching on the production, fundings and distribution. Including, I can only have three chapters. 
Potential outcomes;
-help  students, and creatives  wanting to produce their own animated series
- help me with a plan to produce my animated series and if it’s realistic.
- look at different roles and challenges involved
- look at theories of current and old animations, evaluate  the importance of cartoons in the modern era and their success
- look at the hopes for independent animators
 
 Timeline;

 - research /books on context and history of tv animated series, web series
- look into already produced animated series
- research into successful animation process old and current
- research into cartoon current trends and technologies
-interview independent producers
- research into courses, internships, ma, jobs ladder
- Look at case studies of successful and unsuccessful cartoons 
- Research into the process 

Things I need to do next;
- write a list of potential people I would like to contact and interview 
- start up my Harvard bibliography 
-write up the finalised version of my research proposal

London: British Film institute. in early tv era, animation was dismissed as 'illustrated radio', 'animated programming had to adapt to much-reduced budgets and ultimately, drew more heavily  on heavily on comparatively minimalist contemporary idioms in graphic design and art.' p.177 'with its oft-repeated  and limited movement cycles, Hanna- Barbera created animation which was necessarily more  character- and performance-driven and relied on witty scripts and amusing vocal deliveries.' p.177 '(with the success of his shows) Joe Barbera was justified in his view that 'kids don't give darn if there is 4000 or 40,000 drawings, so long as the entertainment is there" (cited in Wells, 2007) ' p.177 'animation has flourished and is increasingly recognized as an extraordinary vers...
