  1. Your next step needs to link these analyses of film openings to how you will create your own. Think about your chosen genre- what are the conventions and how will you ensure that your final piece looks like the real thing? Also, where are your mind-maps/notes with your initial ideas? Uploading your film pitch presentation will also be a good idea. Any work, initial ideas, plans and notes cannot be credited if it isn't on the blog. Make sure your creative journey is mapped clearly and that your final piece is directly linked to your research.
