What are you trying to critically explore- this needs more clarity. The synopsis is missing.<br />Chapter 1<br />This is not a chapter overview- it’s simply a statement- can you dig deeper and break this down into manageable progression of ideas/ information to reach some sort of conclusion before moving onto the next chapter- what is the key literature/film/theory that goes along side?<br />Staring points- sci fi in Avant Garde film practice- and in literature- the function of the sci fi genre in film as a carrier of society’s anxieties- particularly in America in the 1950’s.<br /><br />Chapter 2<br />OK yes alienation and the uncanny- often discussed in relation to robots and in relation to horror- what are you focussing on- film and how robots are represented and the idea of technology explored or are you talking about robotics/dolls and animatronics- or are you talking about the uncanny as a response to CGI- i.e uncanny valley- this needs further work?<br />Sci fi and these films have evolved in postmodernism via canonical film such as Blade Runner and the exploration of the notion of the post human.<br />Possibly in chapter 3 which is again as an overview far too brief you need to case study out your ideas by looking at one or two creative products.<br />What about the Alien franchise and the robots- as a returning theme- very often robots lack the same moral and ethical foundations as humans- this is the issue which is looked at in I Robot and in Blade Runner<br />Dig deeper<br />Develop ideas more logically<br />Do some fundamental reading from film history and theory and postmodernism<br />Read Teach yourself postmodernism as a starting point Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
