reminder tasks for this week

All of you are shooting this week but just to  underline these are your HW tasks from last week's lesson.
1) PRODUCTION CREDITS*- write a blog posting of the order that production credits tend to run.
 
 2) ART OF THE TITLE SEQUENCE - How does the title sequence relate to the genre,  how do they relate to the film's content and style?  Embed some examples on your blog that particularly inspire you  on your INDIVIDUAL blog and some on your GRP blog too.  I showed you some credit analysis best practise from last year so now its your turn.
see this excellent resource

*You could use wikipedia to help you to work out what credits should be shown and in what order...

3) INSTITUTION -Who might distribute your film - some info about companies and discussion around your choices. As noted in the lesson this question relates to your evaluation question.

 
You've all completed the AUDIENCE research so this week is the time to publish that blog.
