What we have leant since creating our 'Scream Swede'

While making our swede we had to look at all the stages of production to create our short film. When coming up for the idea of our swede we had to watch the key scenes within the original 'Scream' movie, we then chose the opening scene to recreate. After this we had to come up with a basic script and story board to help us follow the order of scenes in the filming and editing of our swede. We chose our characters, the props that we were to use and where we were to film it. Our characters were: Me (Paige) as Casey/the girlfriend and Shahed as the murderer and murdered boyfriend. We film within the our college and the props we used that were key factors that are used within the original film like the mask, this was to make a clear link between our swede and the original. After editing and uploading our swede to YouTube, we began to promote it via word of mouth, E-mail and social networking sites. We told family and friends and then they supported us by sharing our link on their personal Facebook pages, the links were also sent via E-mail. We received feedback on our swede's Facebook page, by the comments left on YouTube and through E-mail.

Through this process we became 'prosumers' as in order to create and 'produce' the swede we had to interact and watch the original 'Scream' film - by doing this we became 'consumers' and 'producers' within our own right - 'Prosumers'. Without using this two way process of being 'consumers' before becoming 'producers' we would not have been able to create our swede.
