Film Review: The Martian Finding how the Martian sits into the broader idea of a 3 Act structure was fairly easy, as its laid out narratively in 3 very clear acts. However deciding what part of the movies where what in terms of inciting incident, mid point and Climax where harder Distinctions. Exposition The First scenes of the movie are full of exposition showing the cast on mars taking samples and carrying out other various scientific experiments. The Title along with the design of the set shows this to be astronauts on mars and sets up the location for most of the movie going forward. Inciting Incident This would be where the rest of the astronauts leave our main character Mark Watney on mars after presuming him dead in a storm. He instead doesn't die and manages to make it to the relative safety of the space habitat where he stops himself from bleeding to death.

Hey Torran,
ReplyDeleteI got there eventually, got all the bases covered with this OGR, well done.
The Romans popularised/ developed the dome in architecture as a way to span large distances whilst reducing supporting structures such as columns, the Pantheon in Rome is still the largest concrete dome in the world

Try not to limit yourself to explopring classical architecture. The text is really descriptive in regards to materiality check out "The Shed" in New York , an expanding performance space:

This uses modern materials to create a crystaline box that appears to be draped with fabric.
Or, the UK pavilion in Shanghai,

Have a play with classical elements and modern materials, maybe use a bit of photo bashing to quickly experiment with ideas.
Also look at how light will interact with those shpes and materials.
