We learnt to use InfoTrac, this is a programme of which you can research certain items that have been produced in magazines, newspapers, academic journals, within this i have learnt that an average comedy film will take in a profit of $2 billion.
we were set tasks through out the process, for example the first task we were set we had to search for kill bill in the first box and in the second box we had to search for Tarantino the results were given magazine articles that had both subject links attached to them.
By doing this we have learnt to catagorise our searches and find the articles that may contain contents that will become useful when planning and making our film.
