'''BELOW ARE 8 DESCRIPTIONS OF THE WAY FILM “USED” TO BE. THESE CHARACTERISTICS OF FILM APPLY BOTH TO WAY FILM WAS PRODUCED AND DISTRIBUTED AND TO THE WAYS WE EXPERIENCED FILMS.

EXPLAIN HOW CONVERGENCE CULTURE FUNDAMENTALLY CHALLENGES OR CHANGES EACH OF THESE CHARACTERISTICS OF FILM. (There may be some overlap, but each answer should be different (12 points each)'''

1. Gaps in the plot were not good.

2. Excesses confused the viewer.

3. The film-going experience was contained to one sitting whether at the theater or at the tv/vcr.

4. “At first you pitched a good story, because without a good story you didn’t have a film. Then with sequels, you pitched a good character, because a good character could support multiple stories. Group #2 James (editor) Tencia, Heaher S., Tess, Peejay, marian=>

5. The product remained the same across platforms (theater, tv, vhs)

6. Merchandising was used to promote films. Redundancy was ok.

7. Film making was a practice left to professionals.

8. Film studios were more “prohibitionist,” they limited the ways we could participate with the film experience.
