Further progress

I'm currently getting the questionnaires filled in and waiting for them to be given back to me. I have also searched for books on the internet based on my topic but haven't come across any good results, I therefore need to visit a library and see if I can find anything there. I have finished constructing the list of films that I am going to review and analyse, and just need to go out and get these then go through and analyse them. Today I am going to research on reviews of the films I am planning on analysing in order to already have a good understanding of what sections in the film may be of most use to me.

Progress so far

Looked through various articles on the internet, most have been helpful - Got a quote from a bollywood actress on the topic. I am now revisitng these sites to create a list of Bollywood films that I can analyse, as a form of primary research. Have also made questionnaires, which I need to print out, get filled in and then analyse.
