Duel: Film Review
Fig.1 Film name: Duel Directed by: Steven Spielberg Starring: Dennis Weaver Year of release: 1971 The premise of the film Duel is that of a man who was simply being hunted down by an unknown man in a large truck.

ReplyDeleteTumo, there is too much missing from this project to give you specific advice in this written feedback (we will discuss this in your tutorial) however generally speaking this is not the standard of work expected at this stage of the course (particularly given your abilities). The project is called ‘adaptation PROFESSIONAL practice’ meaning that the way in which you conduct yourself around your work is an assessable component (assessment requirements) - For example, the development, the refinement, and consistency of your work ethic. Therefore, I suggest that you consider this as part of your approach to Part B.
