    One of the biggest tropes in CG history is using a bump map with the bump depth setting cracked up to high amount (so that you can see really, really see it). However, bump maps really are only meant to be used 'lightly'. In this case you have bump depth set too high, turn the 'bump depth' down using the 'bump node'. Start at 0.05 and work your way up until you start to see the effect you want. Don't leave it at the default of 1. You want the effect to feel softer than this.

    I would say, reduce the effect by about 50-75%

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind (2004) - Non-linear storytelling

Figure 1. Movie poster (2004) Non-linear methods: Chronicle (Linear storytelling)  - The film starts off  with a non-linear storytelling method. This is as the audience are unaware as to where they are, who the characters are and what they are doing. The scenes also change suddenly and time shifts backwards and forwards. The story then becomes linear once Joel starts to get his memories of Clementine removed. This is as he is in a dream state trying to stop his memories of her from leaving him.  Figure 2. Joel and Clementine meeting Retrograde (Events in reverse order)  - This is shown throughout the movie without the audience realising until they are nearing the end of the film.

Film review: A Knight's Tale (2001) - A Hero's journey

During today's lecture we looked into depth on Joseph Campbell's monomyth theory on the 17 stages of 'A Hero's Journey' and how the stages are very evident in films such as Star Wars: A New Hope (1977) and The Matrix (1999). The theory has 3 acts which come together to form the 17 different stages in A Hero's Journey.  Below is a diagram to explain Campbell's theory: Figure 1. Joseph Campell - 17 Stage Monomyth - A Hero's Journey (1949) The film that I am using to help prove this theory is A Knight's Tale (2001). Figure 2. Original Movie Poster (2001) Stage 1 - The call to adventure: The Knight that William (Heath Ledger), the knight's servant, works for, dies, meaning that William, along with all of the Knight's over servants, are left without a job. As the servants worry what to do next and panic as they haven't eaten in three days, one of the King's servants come over on a horse and explains that the Knig
