1. What is the refined research question that you are setting out to answer? (Please be specific in your research topic)
- What is "GTA V" about?
- How to define teenager in Hong Kong?
- What are the teenager’s perception toward media violence?
- What is the role of media in the lives of teenager?
- How do teenagers think of the degree and type of violence exhibited by the video game “Grand Theft Auto V”?
2. How does this develop themes and debates explored within the lectures of this module?
These days, many media contents contain the sense of media violence such as film, TV drama and video games. The range of media to which teenager have access has grown rapidly in this generation. As there are too many media that contain media violence, it is hard for me to do the research in a short time. Therefore, I would like to narrow the choice of media, I will focus on a video games that have media violence that is Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V). It is generally acknowledged that the game is media violence and influence people’s behavior.
This project aims to find out the teenager’s perception toward media violence, to understand the role of media in the lives of teenager and to analyze the degree and type of violence exhibited by the video game “Grand Theft Auto V”.
3. What critical methodologies are you going to use? How are you going to produce the evidence you’ll need to answer your research question?
1) In-depth interviews with three video game players who have play GTA V
2)In-depth interviews with three video game players who are the first time to play GTA V
3) give a Violence Quiz to the players

Dear Stephanie, My recommendation for you is to refine your main research question to "How do teenagers in Hong Kong interpret violence in GTA V". Then your proposed questions can be included. The list of books is nice but I am afraid that you may not be able to read all of them in such a short period. Please take a look of the powerpoint on media violence in Media Culture 2, that is to be covered this week. This would be helpful for your topic.
