Homework 2: MENTOR PAIRS Preparation for next weeks lessons

We will be using next week's lesson to draw together the arguments & contexts you have identified from these resources. Please work in MENTOR PAIRS through the links below, ensure you are taking notes from the videos & articles under the 3 contexts

• Cinematography & 3D - why???
• Directors on 3D
• Kermode: 2D or not 2D? Arguments
• Resurgence of 3D - pressed in us?

On your blog, create a Mind Map with the 3 contexts in different colours with the significant points with this question in the middle:

“The resurgence of 3D is a response to the film industry's fears of internet piracy”

In class you will be expected to prepare an argument from the point of view of the following - look for them in your notes [i.e. make sure you have them] 

 

 

The studio's view (The Avatar effect/Megaupload, falling cinema attendance)

The critic's view (Mark Kermode/Dredd 3D/Avatar/Internet Piracy)

The director's view (Scorcese/Scott/del Toro/Cameron) “Wedded to the Medium”
