So where do I start? Which databases do I use first?

Use general articles not scholarly articles to start your research. General articles give you an overview of a topic, basics such as the vocabulary and an idea about the issues involved

Start with databases  - Credo Reference, eBook Collection (EBSCO), and Films on Demand.
