Copy of case study questions

Here is a digital copy of the case study resource.

Remember to compare and contrast the two films. How are they similar/different at each stage?

Remember that the key factor you must be able to link to is Audience. How does each film impact on a British and American audience?

Have an amazing Easter holiday, and use the resources I have uploaded on the blog below to help you with the research for your case study. They are in no way an all inclusive list. Impress me with your independent research skills - find out some information about 'A filed in England' and 'Pacific Rim' that I wasn't aware of!
