. She
also refers to this date as the deadline.
Distraction The man mentions June 30

, but the
woman explains this is not the submission date but
the date when the judges decide on the winner.
2 actors The woman explains that professional actors
can’t take part in the film; they all need to be ‘new
to acting’.
Distraction ‘people’ might be tempting, but it is
only actors that need to be inexperienced. People
working in audio production etc. are allowed to
participate.
3 animal The woman explains that the man has a
choice of using either a child or an animal as one of
his characters.
Distraction ‘glasses’ is wrong as this was something
the filmmakers had to use in last year’s competition.
4 music The woman says that permission is required
for any music the man wants to use.
Distraction ‘band’ might be tempting, but there is
no suggestion that the man needs to get permission
for this since he is asking a local band he hopes will
help him.
5 subtitles The woman explains that if the film is in a
language other than English then accurate subtitles
are necessary.
Distraction ‘language’ might be tempting but it does
not fit grammatically in the space.
6 script The woman suggests that this is what
filmmakers must consider [= focus on] first.
7 comedy The man makes the point that not
everyone finds the same thing funny, and thinks he
probably shouldn’t make a comedy as a film. The
woman agrees: ‘Yes, stay away from [= avoid] that
kind of film.’
Distraction ‘Documentary’ is wrong because the
man thinks making this kind of film would be a
good idea.
