Developing my Literature Review 

Aims 
Start my literature view with a killer argument (of my choice, towards the end I will sum up the research and whether my opinion has changed towards my argument.

Content  

Look into the behaviour within modular narrative film as well as wildlife documentaries, are there any similarities, do the movements in front of camera between these two topics give off the same emotions to there viewers. On closer inspection and research I feel as if there is a similarity between the way narratives loop.....Oman Fast and The towering inferno

(Talk about examples and think how I can link my ideas)

Heavily influenced by Oman Fast short film "5,000 feet is best, talk about the way that the film didn't have a start, middle and end I feel like it shared the same physical emotion with the viewers to that of a wildlife documentary. However I feel like the story for Oman Fast, the way the pilots story changes and gets interfered, this could be linked too the types of action that go on between species of animals when one trespasses on another habitat.

(Text to back up or even talk about - linking to my ideas)

Possibility of using Leonardo Da Vinchi's image for evolution of man - Cycle of life, cycle of narrative within these two different types of films, one the cycle is about the action that is going on, the way he enters a room over and over but tells a different story, the same process is repeated within wildlife where we will be introduced to the species, the narrator will talk about the habitat, lastly they will show action where an animal is being disturbed or threatened by another species presence or violent behaviour.

Central Topic - loops in narrative and documentary wildlife filmmaking, is there a link - examples using Steve McQueen films, Cincinnati kid and towering inferno, loops with the card playing for Cincinnati kid, loop in heading to every floor in the building to evacuate the people within Towering Inferno. 

Sub Topic - behaviour of characters and animals within film, do there movements present different emotions. -

When we see animals being hurt onscreen, the majority of people will feel some kind of sadness which leads to anger, how about in Cincinnati kid where Steve Mc Queen is caught cheating at the start, the actors around him build up anger where as we as the audience will find this funny, we still get mixed emotions through modular narrative films and wildlife documentaries.
