Exploring Section A

Hello Year 12,

I hope that you have had a good holiday and have made excellent progress with your micro analysis.  I wanted to give you a preview of some of our work for next half-term.  In my lessons, we will focus on aspects of the Section A exam.   We will start with an investigation of the production, distribution (including marketing) and exhibition of films.  The following link to the micro site from the Film Distributors' Association (FDA) is excellent, as it allows you to explore the essential life of a film after its production phase.

Key questions to explore are:

What happens to a film when the producers and director have completed it?

How does it get into cinemas and how do audiences become aware of it and interested in seeing it?

Please take a look and watch some of the clips as this will inform our learning next week.
