year 13 research checklist

This is the minimum you should have on your blog. Remember the more you include the higher the marks. Also you should be using your blog as interactively as possible and finding alternatives to writing. Eg mood boards

All your research of film magazine covers and film posters form June and July.
Thriller conventions and what makes us scared (could be a wordle)
Film titles (connotations and style)
Film trailers: content and structure (mise en scene, camera, sound, editing and how these combine to attract a target audience)

You could include trailers that you find effective.

You should also apply audience and narrative theories to a trailer or whole film.
