We all start somewhere...
Assuming the film name and colour are part of the same form, they will be
present in a variable called $this->data within the register action. Do this
when creating your form:
echo $this->Form->input('User.username');
echo $this->Form->input('Profile.film_name');
...then they will be in different parts of the $this->data array:
$this->data['User']['username']
$this->data['Profile']['film_name']
...so you can collect them there.
Post back if you need more help.
