looking back at your preliminary task,what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product.

During my progression to my final product i have learnt a few things such as :

• using convergence with different media,linking movies to music, games to movies and others 
• distribution and how it has a big role in movie production also with global institutions such as sony time warner and other
• ways of marketing a product eg using adverts to promote your product using interviews with actors producers and directors,using posters,trailers,promoting it in festivals and also making screening before the movie is distributed.
• time management in making of the movie for example with my production i had 2 months to make and finalise the editing 
• brainstorming and generating new ideas in this category i learned how to think of new ideas for my movie such as different genres.
• making an animation clip,building up to a final product as well as visualising the real product before it was created.
• ideas about genre and about horror intro generally research into the genre also the importance of sound creation of ominous atmosphere ,creation of suspense in everyday settings 
• creating ideas of using a film within a film (my previous product made before this one)
• directing actors and getting the right mise-sen-scene.

          

Questionnaire (audience research) after screening

After i edited the movie intro i had a small screening for a few people and after that i got them to fill in a questionnaire and i got different opinions about what they thought and that led to changing a few things such as making some scenes brighter,changing the corridor scene,making sound clearer, changing the duration of the background music.
