Physics of 2012

I. Introduction

Objects falling in time
Human speed vs. plane speed
Action and reaction
Motion
Thesis statement


II. Objects falling

Buildings collapsing in L.A
- The buildings in L.A would collapse at a much faster pace in real life than
they did in the movie. It was shown in slow motion for the effect.

III. Speed

Human running speed vs. plane speed
- In real life the plane would have to go much faster to be able to take off. The
actor couldn’t keep up.

III. Action and reaction

Ship crashing into the mountainside
- The ship probably would have acquired quite a bit more damage in reality than
it did in the movie. The propellers wouldn’t have been strong enough in such a short period of time to stop it from moving forward.

IV. Motion

Wave
-Believable motion of wave coming over mountaintop. Water is very hard to
animate.

V. Conclusion

Summary of points
Restate thesis

  1. The movie is a good choice and your outline is OK although I do suggest that you flesh it out a little bit before you start writing the paper. Even if you have specific ideas in mind for each item in the outline, do yourself a favor and write them down to organize your thoughts.
