Brief
- In small groups, you will be assigned a particular area of the film industry that you will have to extensively research over the next two lessons – forming a presentation in your final lesson.
- This will be directly related to our second case study – I, Daniel Blake.
- Your presentation will be delivered in the form of a Powerpoint presentation.
Success criteria

Swapsies
