What have I gained from this?

Researching production companies shows the size and scale of a worldwide production. However, I can take ideas from these successful films and attempt to add certain codes and conventions which they do. I think adopting these ideas could enable me to make a higher quality film. 

The ratings are extremely important to films as they can either proliferate/regress your film views. Websites similar to Empire and Metaoritic allow the public to publish their views and opinions of a film they have recently watched. Gaining feedback defiantly gives you improvements, but to be successful you need to produce great films consistently.

Furthermore, all of these films are successful and produced by worldwide producers, and are distributed worldwide. This means that you would be more likely to make a successful film, if you have a bigger budget.
