This weeks screening of George Miller’s Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) was an extremely enjoyable and memorable one. My first ever viewing of the film, I found it visually incredible. The continuous amount of action was not overwhelming as I previously predicted it would be. The action fitted in place on screen perfectly, working well throughout the entirety of the film. Going into the film, I did not think that I would enjoy it however I was proved wrong. What would usually strike my as ridiculous or strange with the post apocalyptic setting and narrative grew on me throughout the duration of the film, as I found myself intrigued to discover all that the plot was not sharing with me. Overall, it exceeded my expectations, with skilled acting and flawless editing, creating a fast paced, yet enjoyable piece of work that I could not help but marvel at for days following.

This week also included work on the major project as the due date creeps closer and closer. With editing reaching its end, the exegesis has been the task that has promptly become a force to be reckoned with. Linking the exegesis to the project proposal has been manageable and familiar, as the concepts have come full circle in their implementation in my own work. Whilst attempting to write the exegesis, it has somewhat allowed me to personally reflect on how well my ideas have been demonstrated throughout the final product. It is accurate to say that majority of my original ideas have translated well, with initial research spurring additional research of different concepts that have assisted in my project exploring the frame in a deeper and more thorough manner. It has been interesting to see how each of my of ideas work well together, further expanding my intended concept of the “out-of-field”, bouncing developed concepts off one another and intertwining them in a way that I would never have considered.
