Controlled Assessment – A02 • Include: • Title of the film • Start time of your scene • Finish time of your scene • You will then select TWO from options and analyse the film and how it creates meaning for the audience using these two areas only. • You have one hour to complete this task

They may also look at genres to see what is doing well and mimic these films so as to capitalise from their success. Franchise – they may also be looking for films which would allow for a franchise to be created.
Job Roles What are the important job roles in a film On your tables make a list of who you would consider to be important job roles and why?
