This document discusses research methods for investigating creative and media activities in a student's local region. It focuses on researching film screenings. The student proposes conducting primary research by interviewing cinema staff to get first-hand information. Additional secondary research would include looking at film websites. Arrangements, like setting up interviews, and resources, such as transportation to the cinema, would need to be made in advance. The research could provide information on film screening schedules, the process for films to be shown, and film promotion strategies. Findings would be recorded through notes and stored both physically and digitally for easy access and organization.
