PRODUCTION?
The Hit
Hitman
Assassin

volunteers chose ‘The Hit’ as
the best name, meaning we
chose the right name.

this the most as ‘It doesn't
give away too much of the
storyline and its simple but
effective’. The second

is another film called
‘Hitman’ and people said
as this title is already used
for another film its unoriginal
and could cause confusion.

FILMS THAT ARE 12 OR 15
12
15

half, of people prefer to
watch drama films that are

more sexual scenes and
violence. However, some

to watch 12’s over 15’s
which relates to our film.

COMPONENT OF OUR SCRIPT?
Narrative
Characte

thought the weakest
component of our script
