Titles from previous years:

Here are some examples from previous years. Remember if you do media studies you can focus on a topic that fits nicely into film studies! (Let's make life easy wherever possible!) You can, for example, focus on women in film or any other topic that you have previously focussed on. Remember it should be something that you are interested in.

You do not have to phrase your title as a question as in previous years. Here are some examples to get you thinking.

  By the end of the month you must have produced a title and must have a minimum of 3 sources already. I will meet with you once a week when your topic is underway so I can check your progress and give you any help you may need.
  
  Please use the blog to post any of your research so I can follow your progress and give you any pointers.
