  1. good clear work next action:
    do the same for James Bond Casino Royale and add it her
    finally compare the two as a discussion:
    * representaion / audience / style / sfx / sound / narrative etc
    * what generic conventions/pleasures have changed or stayed the same in 6 decades+ / consider why
    * reflect on what will influence your own work
    *
