You can gather as much material as you like on the film industry; you need to show overall you've learned from the research you've presented that you've understood the fundamentals of how the industry works for Indies and big 5 alike. This is an opportunity to utilise and reinforce exam-centred learning.
You should find yourself using a LOT of terms - update your overall list as you go.
You'll need to reflect on this learning in the evaluation question on distribution - and there's a lot of industry context to the titles as well.

Use the following themes to help you set out what you've learned about how the film industry operates, using key terms (and updating the theory post as you do!).
