Manuscripts will be reviewed by at least one outside peer
review in addition to the editor.
Points of departure for essays may include, but are not limited to:
1.
The
effects of the filmmaker/director/producer and writers on the final realization
of the film as compared to the creation of the novel.
2.
The
relationship between our mind’s eye and the eye of the camera, or the cinematic
gaze in contemporary critical dialog on cinema is of central interest.
3.
The
epic dimensions of Tolkien’s creation. For example, J.R. R. Tolkien
wanted the first editions to include a four-color copy of the original
manuscript, but it was not included due to projected expense. Manuscripts are more easily pictured in
the films.
4.
Differences in the
structural elements, parallels, comparisons, repetitions of visual and auditory
elements, by which cinema creates meaning in comparison with written fiction
5.
The influence of Cinematic conventions and nostalgic elements
related to the Lord of the Rings films and other fantastic films of the early
21st century.
Here's looking forward to seeing what folks come up with.
--John R.Word of the day: "abled". Apparently a back-formation from 'disabled' (disabled/abled). Also encountered with a derisive application: "ableist" (= one insufficiently enlightened on issues re. the disabled). Think I'll stick with 'ept' and 'couth'.
