architecture in film

love through the elizabethan architecture – competent paper marred somewhat by numerous spelling errors, grammatical inconsistencies and poor graphics.  the paper is well written and the narrative flows from the streets of london, to the shakespearean theatre to the castle.  the structure is sound and captivating but a pity that the graphic and text were not married into a single entity.  in future, if you are going to introduce something, make sure there is an outro for enhanced continuity and spend a bit of time on a visual cover.  lovely work.

déjà vu – a competent paper compromised by layout issues.  in future give this attention to enhance your story bot visually + textually.  images are difficult to access and the french quarter map of new orleans deserves more space to emphasise where the plot unfolds.  the unpacking of the themes is well executed and the last paragraph is a gem: the film carries out a theme of destiny and divine intervention which also holds on to the theme of god.  a looming question hangs in the mind of the viewer that perhaps by attempting or successfully altering what may have been the future, we are acting out the plan of destiny.  why is the reference page a larger font size?  you must work in a systematic and structured way.  the poetic ideas are there but may be lost in the mire.  confusing cover page, as in what is the significance of the rambling text?  this would have made sense if the words déjà vu were found somewhere among the letters.  keep writing.

reservoir dogs – a well structure paper containing an intro, body + conclusion.  in future spend some time ironing out the layout of the project for maximum access and impact.  great cover and body marred by terrible print margin layout.  always format your work so that there is enough of a border around the material.  rather have a larger print margin that a smaller one.  take cognisant when using the stapler for better presentation.  image layout if appreciated and enhances the text but suffers from inconsistent layout.  spend time learning how to format images for clarity so that they are not stretched or squeezed and use captions for richer access.

12 years a slave: the first 20 – a very well written and absorbing paper containing the correct dose of an emotive layer to spur on to something else.  as much as it can be said regarding the text, the images are inaccessible and the layout is poor.  one cannot write this well then illustrate it so poorly.  it makes the project feels rushed or last minute.  paper suffers from a proper use of imagery since the story is so visceral and aesthetically captivating.  spend time marrying words and images for complete work submission.  cover is so so.  push yourself graphically as there is latent capacity.

gladiator – a very competent submission which is well written and visually arresting.  graphically the black n’ white theme grows on one.  fantastic cover which eloquently summarises what follows in the body of the paper.  the combination of text and images work well in articulating the narrative and maximus’s journey.  that being said, the images are a bit dark and in future make sure that if you are going to print in black and white, that the document is formatted to allow the colour to come thru and be noticeable.  project contains very good referencing and the sub themes of maximus, the gladiator, the journey back home, death, vengeance and freedom are well illustrated in the paper.  overall an excellent submission and i implore you to keep working in this manner.

new york, i love you – very good work containing a perfect and apt cover, contents and page numbers, a great quote by jean baudrillard, well written movie review with intro, main argument plus conclusion and finally a reference page.  use of appropriate images enhances the visual aesthetic of the paper and grant a more textured and intimate feels to new york. the document is well presented in a bound format.  excellent work.

inumber number – very competent work which is well written and visually narrated.  cover is confusing as it does not contain anything to help frame what the paper is about except what is reproduced from the handout.  paper structure is very sound with a proper intro, prologue, gist + conclusion.  the use of images is very well done, providing what is necessary to render the text into colour and space.  it’s a pity that there were not more of them to drive the point home making the paper a visual banquet.  in future use more and make them larger and keep the energy levels.  they are appreciated.
