Over the last (very busy) few weeks I have been continuing with my inquiry and I feel like I am definitely making progress!
It has been extremely difficult to arrange interviews, either in person or over Skype, due to both my interviewee's and my own busy schedules! I am so happy that I have now finished my interviews for my inquiry. I think that the interviews went very well and were extremely helpful in my research. I made a lot of notes throughout each interview, which I held with a variety of creatives from actors to casting directors, and have spent time re-reading the notes from each interview and analyzing the data. All of the content that was discussed in the interviews is vital for my inquiry.
After holding the interviews, I noticed that my own opinion now has a definite viewpoint on my inquiry based on the experiences and jobs I have had since starting my initial inquiry process in Module 2.
Tomorrow morning, I am having a Skype tutorial with Helen. This will really help me to ensure that I am staying on track and it will be good to discuss my research that I have found, both through literature and interviews, with Helen.

Task 7A: Update on Inquiry Process
Over the last week I have been reading my feedback from my work in Module 2 and seeing how I can improve my inquiry. I submitted my Module 3 Feedback Response form to Helen and I have also spent time studying the Module 3 handbook and Reader 7 again.
I feel like my inquiry is going well so far, but with Module 3 being an extremely self-motivated study block (more so than any of the other modules), it is hard to know whether you are really on track or not!
I have managed to source some more literature which is relevant to my inquiry but a lot of my literature has come from news articles from The Stage or The Guardian, for example. This is great because there are so many new and up to date articles posted daily, but it does mean it is also quite hard to keep track of all of the new articles on a daily basis!
I have started to really discuss my inquiry topic with friends and colleagues in my professional circle and will be conducting more formal interviews for my inquiry within the next few weeks. I am going to continue analysing the literature I have sourced and this will help me to gain a variety of viewpoints on my inquiry topic.
Over the next week I am going to structure and set out how I am going to complete my inquiry as I am feeling a little overwhelmed with it all at the moment. Hopefully I am on the right track and I look forward to developing my inquiry further!
