We had to identify purposes to a
film opening in order to identify the

film opening can branch out to
several other aspects of research.
By identifying the purpose of a film
we can either adhere to the
common conventions of it or
subvert.

OVERALL SUMMARY
Overall, the research process is important as it shows us several
different aspects of research and makes us think about the actual
process of filming and everything that may be considered "behind the
scene". Furthermore, an essential part to my research process was
joining another group and getting information and tips and tricks
from them. As well as ensuring we don't make the same mistakes as
they did.
