Tasks for next week

INDIVIDUAL TASKS- FOR NEXT WEEK

1) CREDITS/TITLE SEQUENCES - watch some. IND - write an analysis of them (what is included? what order? what fonts/colours used and why? Are they genre specific? How do they relate to the film's content and style?) IND - embed some examples on your blog that particularly inspire you IND and some on your GRP blog too please. Mrs T will be teaching more on this in January so be prepared!
