Unit 2: Answers

Identify two costs that you may need to consider when developing a new phone app and explain how these costs impact on the project. (6 marks) One cost that knees to be taken into consideration is copyrighting the name and contents of the app this is so no-one else can use the name as there own.

Try and use interesting props, the theme and genre can sometimes depend on it. Minimise locations and characters: 4/5 main locations, preferably close to each other with easy access. Don't write too many large roles. Avoid outside night scenes, they have bad lighting or mean that you have to use more equipment to get better lighting costing you more money.
