You don't want to just drop it in without and introduction or unpicking :) Once you have your quote, you will need to make sure it is referenced correctly, both within the text and in a bibliography - see here <br />http://community.ucreative.ac.uk/article/27187/Referencing<br />Have a look at Google Scholar for book excerpts, try the library for books on German expressionist cinema etc etc.... <br />Just a reminder of what the brief is asking you to provide - <br /><br />'Reviews of the ‘Space Oddities’ Film programme. Please note – in addition to<br />and support of your own critique, your reviews must include a minimum of 3<br />quotations from 3 different published sources + poster art + supporting stills.<br />Please note - Harvard Method must be used for all quotations and all illustrations to be referenced correctly. Reviews are to include bibliography and illustration list.'<br /><br />Greta start though - good luck with the next one! :)Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13332181835614441447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2766537641564296451.post-9787164245358368522013-09-24T14:50:14.932-07:002013-09-24T14:50:14.932-07:00Hey Josh :)
I'm going to leave my colleague J...Hey Josh :)<br /><br />I'm going to leave my colleague Jackie Hagan to feedback in terms of some of the formal academic conventions you'll need to think about in terms of your reviews as outlined on the brief - but in general terms, I find it very satisfying to read here that so many 'lightbulbs' were going off in your head as you watched what is not the easiest of films; yes, Burton's penguin was directly inspired by Caligari. It seems so obvious now doesn't it? Nice to read such an enthusiastic first review, but in addition to what Jackie will add, I'd like you to check out the 'Academic Writing - Hints & Tips' pdf on myUCA/Spaceandenvironment/essays folder, because it will get you thinking about your style and how to bring a more scholarly approach. Good stuff, and well done for getting this up and out there :)tutorphilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11842833126210822641noreply@blogger.com
