Useful Links

A couple of links I find useful for reasearching films and genres:

http://www.empireonline.com/

http://io9.com/

http://www.imdb.com/

http://www.totalfilm.com/

They're good because they're all film related websites, which have lots of information on genre and the conventions of genre's. IMDB is particularly good as it's just everything about films really. io9 focuses mostly on sci-fi films and television shows, but has news on other genres too. As I want to do a sci-fi film though, this is helpful to learn about old, new and future films, read in depth articles etc. Total Film and Empire are both film magazines that I find useful in reviewing films, focusing on particular aspects of filmmaking and actors/directors.
