MODULE ONE: INTRODUCTION (Jan. 26 - Jan. 30)

There are several Internet sites that you should access. The first is a site devoted to film study utilizing the resources of the WWW. It's THE INTERNET MOVIE DATABASE at us.imdb.com/Help/introduction . According to the "What We Have" section in the Introduction: "The core of our site is our search capabilities. We catalog all sorts of information on over 200,000 movie & TV titles plus even more on over 400,000 actors and actresses, nearly 40,000 directors and hundreds of thousands of other people who help make magic on the big and small screens. Then we take all that information, organize it into a cool structure, and make it possible for you to easily search and browse through it... FOR FREE." Bookmark this for future use. It's one site you will be visiting again and again. For now, scroll through the "Welcome to IMDb.com" and click on those sections that intrigue you. Also, you should bookmark these cable television film channel movie guides:
