The invention relates to a method (100) for controlling a film production in which at least one film is produced depending on at least one specific recipe information (R), where the following steps are performed: providing different fingerprints (F), the fingerprints (F) characterizing different method executions (210) for producing a film, providing in each case at least one result information (E) for the respective fingerprint (F), the result information (E) being specific for at least one product property (D) of the produced film, storing the fingerprints (F) and result information (E) as data in a data system (200) so that the data is provided as a basis for evaluation for controlling at least one subsequent method execution (210).
