OFFICIAL PRODUCTION FILM BLOG
Special note: This resource has some great behind-the-scenes images and interviews from the shoot, but it's also an excellent starter point for a discussion on one of the many ways people use blogs. Ask your students: Why would anyone from the production team bother taking time to create a blog for the film?

NON-OFFICIAL BLOG
Special note: This blog has been around longer than the Tumblr blog. Ask your students: What is the difference between this blog and the official production film blog? How about in terms of purpose and not just format: what are some reasons you think this blog was created that might be different from reasons why the official production blog was created?
