3. Write a blog post analysing them for: • What they show you about the characters and how they do

this • Dialogue – is it used? For how long? Do you know what is

going on? • Settings – how many? • Any use of titles – are they good or bad? Why? • Stylistic choices – any interesting transitions? Interesting

shot or editing choices? • Music – how much is there? How many songs and how

loud?
