Using your 3 sketches and reference images from last week as a guide, apply the blend layer technique to your chosen house. Here is the sort of thing you will be able to achieve using the blend layer technique:

3. Official Crydev documentation on blend layers is here.

4. If you have any technical problems, DO NOT WAIT FOR YOUR TUTOR TO ASK YOU. Be proactive about troubleshooting during tutorials.

Complete by the beginning of the next tutorial.

1. Use Youtube to find at least 5 trailers for movies to use as a reference for EXP02. Link them to your blog.

2. Write a short sentence for each explaining why you chose them, and how they might inform your EXP02 submission, e.g. screen direction, colour tones, atmosphere, themes, plot etc.

3. In approximately 50 words reflect on this weeks lecture and make a unique observation regarding its content as it relates to your own work.
