Genre exploration draft 3 tips

Overall comments:

-everyone improved :)

-1/2 of you improved by 1 grade or more :)

-those who didn't, must complete draft 3

-anyone can still complete draft 3

Tips to improve:

-general conventions should be developed and have at least 6-7 

-have 1 subgenre (info & pictures) on 1 page 

-only a small few of you still need to work on presentation/organisation 

-small few of you choosing wrong films for wrong subgenre - maybe do a different subgenre

-for written description for each film in subgenre you must explain how it is BOTH genres (maybe 1-2 bullet points for each genre) example if you said 'the notebook' is drama & romance - how is it drama? How is it romance? (Be specific in your answer .... Don't just say something like 'its serious' or 'it's about love'
