There is a wide scope for you to investigate find an area of film that interests you and then start blogging.  I will catch up with you next lesson to discuss initial research ideas with you.

If you have any questions or something you would like to see on the blog then let me know by leaving a comment or coming to see me in GF03.

You now need to start considering a research title look at some of the previous ones in your booklet.  You have a very wide field of research choices.  Come and discuss ideas with me and Marion before you go to far down the road of unsupervised research.
