Going forward with a thesis topic for this coming year, the area of research around viewer engagement with the animated documentary is something I wish to pursue. This is due to the fact that not only will its finding benefit my final major project, but could potentially benefit the area of animated documentary in my findings of with method of animation best accentuates the portrayal of personal experiences in the most visually engaging ways. Key areas I wish to look into include the emotional response of facial expression and scientific areas such as the mirror neuron system which take into considerations aspects of human empathy. I also wish to delve into areas that look at anonymity provided by animation, and confessional and therapeutic aspects of creating personal documentation through animation.
