What I've Learned from making the swede

WHAT I'VE LEARNED FROM MAKING A SWEDE

I'v learnt that anyone can make any kind of video from a swede to an actual movie. We now have the technology that we didn't have back then. Everyone now a day is a prosumer which is a person who consumes things from the internet and be able to put things up on the internet. Even if it's just a post on Facebook you are still putting things up on the internet. 

While making our swede we became prosumer because we watched trailers and clips of  Freddy vs Jason to help make our swede. 

We haven't been able to use synergy in our process of making our swede. Synergy is when you use other products to promote your product ad vice versa. An example of this would be The titanic movie plays the song of Celine Dion called 'My heart will go on'. The song is featured in the movie and in the music video you have clips of the movie. They promote each other and so are mutually benefitted.

Our swede didn't include any cross media convergence because weren't a big movie. In hollywood movies you don't much of cross media convergence. One particular movie did include this though, Sky fall 007. In Skyfall the movie it included the song of 'Skyfall' by Adele. This is a cross media convergence because you couldn't have one without the other. 

We definitely used convergent media because we used the macs which have final cut pro to edit our swedes and usually you would do that manually but now  they two have converged and so became convergent technology. Apart from that we did not use any other convergent technology.

We were able to get a lot of people to watch our swede but i think we were also able to get people from different continents to watch our swede and this is our global audience. This was all possible because we uploaded it on youtube and that is on the internet. 

Without the internet or the technology that we have now, we wouldn't have been able to do what we've achieved. The internet now has made the film industry more democratic.
