First I just wanted to thank those of you that helped me with my World War II topic, the paper is coming out great so far.
Now, onto the next one. I am taking another course that, to break it down simply, deals with representations of spaces in literature (we've read some Ballard, Verne, etc.) For our final paper we have to make up our own topic that relates to the course, and since my teacher is a film buff, he is letting me write on 3-D (despite the fact that nothing in our class has specifically focused on films at all).
So, I am still not sure exactly how I plan to make an agrument, but I want to write about what sets apart 3-D movies from the rest (besides the fact that they're pretty much all bad movies), more like looking at any kind of theories as to why a 3-D representation requires certain elements, and what those elements do to transform the space between the screen and the viewer. I know the answer may seem a bit obvious, but I'm hoping there has to be something a littlle deeper.
So after all that rant, I'm basically just looking for any good literature on 3-D films, or if you know of any movies that might have any extras about 3-D, it would be greatly appreciated. Most of what I've been finding is just histories of the technology, and since I don't have the equipment to screen 3-D movies in my apartment, I need to find as much out there about these movies as possible. Thanks-
