This resource is part of our Where maths meets the world of work series, which showcases the maths used in different careers. Each video is also linked to one or more activities, so your students can get a real taste of what the career may entail.
In this video, you meet Sabina and find out what it is like to be a freelance filmmaker. You will also discover the maths involved in both making films and running your own business.
The video and accompanying resources have been designed so that they can be completed in one hour, but there are plenty of opportunities to extend them further or use as part of home learning.
