    This is some very useful information and you have clearly completed research into the film and its budget. You need to give it the title of Pre-production and Budget Research for I - Robot and you need to write an introduction explaining what you had to do for this task.

    For revision over the winter holiday you should look at finding any pre-production anecdotes, and write a conclusion explaining how the budget of this film had an impact upon the pre-production stage. Mrs E.

One cost may be the wage of the app designer, graphic designer or someone who can code. They may be paid for the whole project or by an hourly basis. This might impact the project because if no one has the skills already they may need to pay another designer which affect both time and money. Another cost might be to copyright the name of the app so that other people do not use it once it has been launched. This would impact the project positively so that the name cannot be copied..
