    George, you have researched and described a range of key job roles and responsibilities in the film industry. You have given some detail about what the role involves and also who the person doing that role will communicate with. You could have included the qualities/skills needed to perform these various roles, to make your work more thorough perhaps. Well done this section is complete.
