Walkabout (1971) Review

Major Project - Reflective Statement
I think this is one of the toughest projects I have ever undertaken in my time in education. I have felt both scared and stressed out believing I will fail this whole course if I even remotely submitted anything subpar and thus fail at having a career in animation. Not helping was the Covid pandemic which has greatly affected the university, my mental health, my course, my family, among much more. While I think I am likely to pass the course now that I have submitted all the necessary components for my major project, needless to say there is quite a bit I wish I could have done better. The reason I believe for a lot of this was simply time. Some was out of my control other times I feel I could have done something to help myself give a better outcome of the project. I cannot help but feel that while it could've gone a lot worse my project could've been a lot better if I had a bit more time such as having better time management and stopping myself from procrastinating as often.
Hi Ted,
ReplyDeleteJust a quick point about using more than one quote by the same person... If the content all comes from the same block or paragraph of text, you should just separate the sections with 3 dots, rather than having each bit of the quote in its own speech marks. So, for example,
rather than this -
“The tables subtly shift and now it is the Aborigine who seems slightly confused and out of place”, “the absurd juxtaposition of these camouflage-clad sportsmen and the almost-naked native is an entire commentary delivered in a sequence that lasts seconds. The lack of comprehension and the look of disenchantment etched on his face as the men drive off is an image that will stay with the viewer for a very long time”(Murphy, 2010)
...you could have this -

If the bits come from different paragraphs/chapters but still by the same author, you should separate them with a few more of your own words. So for example,
Joe Bloggs claims that, "blah blah blah", and also goes on to say, "blah blah blah" (Bloggs, 2019)
Also, make sure that you proof-read, as you have a chunk of that quoted bit by Murphy doubling up...
