Research (whilst Ellie is away in London!)

Task:

Select a couple of articles and videos from the following list and read carefully, then make notes on the key points. Making notes is not always easy, so my top tip is to make a note of anything that you find particularly interesting, but also anything relating to actions, e.g., a tick list.

When you come to the first written assignment, you will need to discuss the importance of pre-production, so I have selected a range of vides relating to that, but also some relating to low budget filmmaking, which we have just been studying. Pick whichever ones you like the sound of and don't worry about watching the lengthier videos - they are super informative and useful.
