CCR Draft #4
How did you integrate Technologies- Software, Hardware and online- in this project?
Software
Blogger was a program that I had during the whole duration of the project. Blogger was used as a template to show planning and work that was being done during the whole time of working on the assignment. Adobe Premium was another software that my group and I used to make the film. All of the editing that needed to be done for our film was done done on Adobe Premium. Adobe Premium was used because they have one of the best editing software available to use. All of the audio effects, video transitions, and jump cuts were all done on Adobe Premium.
Hardware
To film our movie we used a I Phone X (10) . We used the I Phone X because it records in 4 K Resolution and it was available at the time of us filming our movie. The quality of the film is the best that we could get at the time because we did not have the filming camera during the times that we filmed.

How did your production skill develop throughout this project?
Script Writing
Throughout the duration of the project my skills as a scriptwriter developed certainly. In our project I was responsible for what I said in the Film. If I did not say the correct thing the film would make no sense. So what I had to do is fit the dialogue of the movie so that everything flows smoothly so that the film makes sense and the audience can get a good laugh about it. Multiple times I had to rethink what I was going to say because it did not make sense and it would make the audience confused and less focused on the real meaning of the movie. After filming this film I can definitely be in charge of writing a script for a film because I know how to fit what needs to be put into the film with the correct dialogue.
Acting
Throughout the duration of the project my skills as an actor improved drastically. Before we started filming I was very nervous and shy to get behind the camera because I did not want to mess up because then I would feel as if I messed up the whole film. After we shot many shots for the film acting became more natural to me and I felt more comfortable behind the camera making it feel as if I was acting in a Hollywood movie. When I became more comfortable with acting I began to change my tone of voice to sound more professional and when we had the important conversation about breaking in I was very engaged with Justin making it feel like a real life break in.

CCR Draft #2
How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?
Engage with Audiences
Our movie engages with the audiences the same way that other comedy movies do. In our film the first way that we engage with the audience is the first scene when we are in Mcdonald's there was so much food pilled up and I asked Justin the question of how long he has been here and the way I asked the question just makes you want to laugh and i looked at him funny. Another way that we engaged with the audience is when Justin hopped the fence and he was running away and he stooped to tie his shoe just makes the audience tense because he stooped running. And then when Justin got tackled by the Security Guard it made the audience laugh because the "Wasted" video affect popped up. The last way that we were engaged with the audience is when Justin and I were talking about what happened and Mr. Obama called. And that adds humor and suspense because why would Obama call us kids.
Distributed as a real movie text
To distribute our film as a real movie text we would use subscriptions like Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime and HBO. We would use these movie streaming apps because these apps are mostly used by audiences and we would get views on our movie.

CCR Draft #1
How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?
Camera Work
Our groups best Cinematic conventions was the camera work that we used to film the film. Our camera work worked together with our editing making our film not choppy and really emphasize the feelings that the characters are giving. We used panning for example to help give the audience the feeling of the surrounding.
Editing
In editing, we put the whole film together on. We also used editing to show the credits. Also one scene in the film we really relied on editing when the golf bag was thrown we really emphasized how loud the bag was when it hit the ground. And when the bag hit the ground we turned the camera towards the guard to show that he heard it. Another edit that we made was when Justin got tackled by the guard we used slow motion to emphasize how hard he got tackled and how hard he hit the ground.
In the Mis-en-scene category we used costumes such as a Polo shirt, Khaki shorts and visor to resemble a golfer to show that he is trying to go golfing. We made the guard wear a white t-shirt, sunglasses and carry a whistle to mimic what a security guard would look like.
We represented the lower class because Justin the golfer did not have the money to pay to enter the golf course to train for his big game.

Jumanji Welcome to the Jungle Distribution
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle
Promotion material
December 20th 2017 was when Columbia Pictures released Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle

Media and Publicity:
The movie was projected on Starz and HBO to catch attention of adults and children that watch movies on those channels. The movie distributors then began to make and publish posters of the film to catch the audience's attention in a non media way.
When the movie released many Short clips of the movie they were aired on Disney XD and Nickelodeon to get kids attention to watch the movie because it was a comedy and it also had the Dwayne Johnson "The Rock" in it and children are familiar with him because he has hosted many game shows on those channels.
Columbia Pictures worked together with Sony Pictures to get the name "Jumanji Welcome to the Jungle" out there. Sony Pictures posted many things on there web page about the film including actors, directors and even a movie trailer to really catch peoples attention. At the time of the movie coming out Sony came out with a new television and when advertising the television they also advertised Jumanji to get the audience to watch the film so that it has a bigger audience and more is funded.
