T1 | W2 | Wed + Thurs - Conventions of short films (incl. Narrative conventions)

 Use the links below to do some research on  conventions (specifically but not exclusively, narrative conventions - essentially HOW a story is told).


Create a slide-show (or any blog tool for presentation) that summarises and presents your findings. 


You should have a minimum of 10 conventions that you've found AND include relevant examples from movies or TV series that demonstrate or use these effectively. 

(this task will lead into what we will do tomorrow)
