Common comments/targets

• Research definition and purpose of genre; but don’t copy from internet

• 3 classic films (before 1960)• 3 subgenres with 3 modern films• Each film to have a description of HOW it is that genre (not

about plot)• Improve organisation of text• Don’t have bulky paragraphs – clear and concise bullet

points• Improve presentation (suggested diagrams?) (not cluttered) • Check spelling and grammar (esp capital letters)….shocking

if done on computer!!!
