2. Initial Reaction
• The product that I am going to be making is a Short Film about one of these 3
genres; Horror/Comedy, Sci-Fi/Action, Fantasy/Psychological. I am making a short
film because it is the area that I would like to specialize in for next year but, also
the area I would like to eventually work in as well. I am also going to be making a
film poster and DVD cover to go along with the short film and these will match the
content
