DRJ#2 Dissertation Research Journal Update Post

This is an update post, this is a follow up from the initial post that I made in DRJ#1. I have been quite busy with my personal life, work life and educational life. I have bought a house, had to work a lot more due to my surgery at the start of this year which impacted both my income and education, and in addition my role as class rep has kept me extremely busy with helping other class mates.

Initially, I was going to upload all of the notes I had made researching the topic of, "Why is the narrative experience of a video game franchise diluted when it is converted to a live action adaptation?" But due to my handwriting being messy and rushed when playing catch to up the notes are virtually unreadable, therefore I will be retyping everything up here in summaries with what I have researched. This will include:

• Books, Quotes and Citations.

• Interviews I have watched.

• Websites visited.

So all of the posts I will be making/ have made until the hand in will include:

1. DRJ#1 - Introduction Post.

2. DRJ#2 - Update Post.

3. DRJ#3 - The Citations gathered from Books, Online Journals and Websites.
