  1. Sarah, it is very disappointing that you have not updated your blog since the 16th of September.

    It is important that you research a range of film genres and then use this to help you narrow down your own choice.

    Consider the conventions of short films.

    By now you should have started to research your audience.

    Apply genre and audience theories!

    Show how your understanding and knowledge of these theories have helped you to gain a better understanding of film genres and your target audience.
