Absent today (2nd December)

Due to the fact that my voice has not come back, I'm not in today. I would like you to undertake the following tasks, all related to the research and development of your final production:

• Decide who you are working with for your project (if anyone)
• Decide on the genre of your film
• Brainstorm ideas for at least 5-10 films from your genre (use the web to find ideas if you can’t think of any). If working in a group, you should look at 5-10 films each (although these could be the same films)
• Work out a schedule for the next two weeks (both in lesson and out of lessons):
• When are you going to produce analyses of your opening sequences - set yourself manageable deadlines?
• When are you going to complete your blog posts about:
• Audience
• Representation
• Institutions
• Your schedule should include daily goals
• Please note – you can use every lesson except Monday 12^th December
• By the end of the lesson, on your blog should be:
• Answers to the questions above
• A completed research schedule

Don't forget - you should also have completed your "movie opening" analysis by today
