Research What? Where? Why?


Today we discussed what preferred genre we would like to base our opening of a film on. I listed all of the key things to research. what would i research? where would i go to find my research? Why should i ensure that i research my preferred genre? And what problems may occur whilst researching Action Horror genre films. I did this to ensure that my research is effective and so it helps me in producing my planning and filming of my Action horror opening.
