IFC Assignment 5 – Rework Self Reflection.

Further to my formative feedback with Andrew Conroy on assignment 5 I have crystalised my thinking further and strengthened the essay as to the position of Danny Boyle as an auteur.

Andrew jogged by thinking and pointed me in the direction of the London 2012 Olympic open ceremony which was directed by Danny Boyle and the unlying ideology of those scene which championed England including the NHS and Trades Unions.

Re-watching this on Youtube and reading in conjunction with the Jonathan Freedland’s article in the Guardian from 2013 helped bring forward my ideas of identifying Boyle as a potential Auteur.

Still feel that Boyle doesn’t quite fit the tradition theories, probably more because of his own reluctance to accept the title, however, I feel that perhaps there is room for further of auteur theory as a whole to encompass the modern film maker.

My tutor pointed out a couple areas where i had not directly quoted the writers and paraphrased I have taken a hard look at the essay I have taken the decision to keep these areas as is, because my opinion it helps the essay flow and be more approachable for the reader.

Overall I was very happy with the first draft but I have more please with this 2nd draft and stand by it.
