ABSTRACT

How then do we pay homage to the elements of design as presented those first few days of screening before the editing begins? What should we be looking for?

I have found over the years that it takes a fair amount of effort to really see clearly. We’re much more open as children; by the time we’ve become adults, we’ve learnt to screen out, ignore, assume, and perhaps deride without closer examination. In the last few years, as multimedia and the Internet have come to prominence, I have spent a lot of time looking for answers to my questions of design within the worlds of print, commercials, fine art, and even industrial design. We currently live in an age where the language of design is often more powerful than the content’s superficial message. Rent Fight Club on DVD and watch it more than once. The chances are your understanding of the story will continue to evolve over repeated viewings of the film’s form.
