American Film

Evaluation on presentation:
For my presentation I went through all the key features of the film including the production, exhibition and distribution. For each stage of production I went into detail about how they completed each part. In addition I used key vocabularly to explain the points I making. To improve my presentation I could have added more synergy and convergence to my presentation. I also could have talked more about technology for my film, however as the films do not use too much technology to distribute the film I have decided to make another case study on the lego movie as this film uses a lot of technology and synergy to distribute the film for example through mc donalds.

Big Vs Small presentation. This is the presentation which I presented to the class about my two case studies.
