Good comparisons Charlotte. Ensure that you blog everything that you do in class, and your research outside of school, and apply it to your ideas about your short film so that you are analysing and sifting what is relevant to you. You should have posts about the conventions of short films, your analysis of 'Pudding Bowl' and any techniques that you think were effective, and the research methods that you will used based on their advantages to help you research short films, film posters and film magazine review pages.
