Write $(b+d)(a'+b'+c)$ in both minimal and canonical sum of products form

Write the following expression in both minimal and canonical sum of products form

$$(b+d)(a'+b'+c).$$

I made the truth tables for both and got the following:

$$a'b'c'd + a'b'cd + a'bcd + abcd' + ab'c'd + ab'cd + abcd.$$

I also tried distributing it and got:

$$a'b + bb' + bc + a'd + b'd + cd = a'(b+d) + c(b+d) + b'd$$

Am I doing this right so far? Also what do I do next?
