Related material for Physical Journey (1 Viewer)

[Riviet]

I wanna use Cast Away starring Tom Hanks for my related material in physical journey. Do you think it's an appropriate choice? Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

 

[pLuvia]

hehe, that's what I'm using as one of the related texts but theirs plenty to choose from

Yeh it is a good text, since it reflects most of the physical journey aspects of

testing strengths and weaknesses
sacrifices
alienation from complacency
journey from one place to another
encounters
transformations
The trigger to the journey
Shows that journey are ambivilent

It will also be good for inner journey

That's all I can think of from the top of my head oh and also anti said in one of her threads that it was a good text to use, but I'm thinking that it will be used too much, hence not unique I don't know

here

power of one
angelas ashes
beautiful mind
castaway (REALLY GOOD!)
color purple
radiance
cider house rules

Hi. Ive jsut finished my HSC, did physical journey.
In most cases you HAVE to be able to reflect on the outcome of the jurney. In other words, how it changed tom hank's character.
Did he become more assertive? Was he able to find a greater understanding of his life? etc.
What you really need is a few main scenes which show:
1. How he was at the beggining of the movie.
2. What experiences changed him
3. The impact the journey had on his life and understanding of the world and others around him.


You MUST be able to talk in depth about how the journey changed his understanding of his life, that of those around him and the world.
This is what physical journey is mainly about :how that journey change the individual.

I think this movie would be a very good related material.
Good luck
If you need any futher help PM me, im always glad to help ^^

I have no idea what the text is about, but here's some guidelines to what techniques you should analyse:
Purpose, Structure, Tone, Imagery, techniques employed by composer to express journey, there's many more but these should get you started.

 

[treemonkey]

its a film, so do i still use these techniques or is there others that you use for movies?

for a film it is best to choose the most relevent scene to what you are trying to discuss. Analyse the scene using camera shots such a high shot, close up, panning shot etc. Your teacher should have a list of different shots you can use.
also talk about mood, lighting, set and costume.

Whenever talking about a technique always follow it by stating what effect this has on the viewer.

Also if the film has flashbacks, you should consider talking about those as this is a more common technique used by directors in recent films.

I'm planning to use Lance Armstrongs Its not about the Bike to relate to Skrzynecki for an oral assessment.

Hey guys. its a little off topic but, is it frowned upon to use another prescribed text for the AOS? I was thinking of doing Rabbit Proof Fence. I'm studyin Skrzynecki as a pescribed text for school

Teachers and markers prefer it if you choose one of your own, but as long as you have all the right content in your essay, they cant mark you down.
just like using a popular related text, the examiners cant mark you down for using a certain related piece, as long as you can analys it well and relate it to the question.

hey, uhm i'm currently studying yr 12, and my teacher is marking the HSC papers. She told us that the markers prefer that the student uses a related text of their own, rather than using a prescribed text for another school (she says that this shows the marker that the student has bothered and done some research). so its best to choose ur own.
i've got some related material which are all good;
-Priscilla - queen of the desert
-Beautiful ming
-castaway
-it's a wonderful life
-thelma and louise
-time machine

i hope i've been useful 2 some of u guys...

Yep, at which I totally agree.

Try and find your own texts, most texts already posted up at Bored of studies Guides have probably been used countless, if not once. The best option would be to search the web for geographical articles like adventures to Antartica (Try your school library, you'll be amazed at how much stuff they keep under AOS: Journeys).

I'm doing Cast Away for physical journey and there's heaps to write about it.

im doing a movie called not without my daughter, but i thnik its based on a book. the hpysical journey is tons similar to skrzinecki's one so its easy to do. i reckon its better to do a movie as well coz it doesn't take as long to get through

 

[Riviet]

Yeah, the best thing about movie is you don't have to remember quotes, other than dialogue and the techniques used in the film.
