good work Gina, but don't forget additional elements like music that add to the conventions. make sure you add the analyses.
ReplyDeletethis is good Gina, but i think you need more detail in your analyses of the opening sequences. these are supposed to show your understanding of conventions so you can follow them in your own work. aim for a minimum of 400-500 words for each one.
