CCR #2

 The first two questions of the CCR postings will be included in one video. This podcast-inspired video with some twists will be a good way to get the point across and answer the questions asked with a unique element to it. 

The two main points we will trying to get across in this video is:

• How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?
• How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?

The following is the script for the video answering questions 1 and 2:

SCRIPT FOR CCR 1&2

Host: Hello and welcome back to the word OR mouth podcast, a show where our guests either answer our questions, or are forced to eat one of their least favorite foods.

Host: I'm Jared McGee and today on our show we are bringing on the world famous actor and director Wyatt Taylor. Welcome to the show today Wyatt

Wyatt: Thank you for having me on! I am a loyal fan of this show and I am excited to hopefully not have to eat so much let's just say "not tasty" foods.

Host: Well we will see what happens but I heard you are quite the picky eater is that correct?

Wyatt: Yes, ever since I was a little boy I was not one for new foods.

Host: Maybe today we can expand your horizons on the delicacies of the world.

Wyatt: That would certainly make for an entertaining episode!

Host: Ok, lets get started, I think I speak for everyone when I say we have been marveling at your film opening countless times since its release, one of the big questions that seems to be on everyone's mind is how does your opening utilize typical conventions of comedy movies into your film?

Wyatt: That is a great first question, Our film, similar to other films within the comedy genre have several different characters that contrast each other, J.D and his brother Jason being one example of this. Most of the settings and locations the film was shot at also played into those typical conventions as they were very bright and there was lots of activities that could be created purely from the setting.

Host: Very interesting, and what about how it challenges those norms?

Wyatt: J.D's internalized doubts and uncertainness for the future creates a whole different aspect to the movie which doesn't follow the cookie cutter standards for a comedy movie. As this aspect is shown more in the actual movie, the audience will be able to see how this film is a step in a different direction than most comedy films.

Host: Well that is a very intriguing answer Wyatt, thank you.

Wyatt: Of course, 

Host: Moving on to the next question: How does your film represent certain social groups or issues?

Wyatt: Your on fire with these questions today, OK, well our film is guided towards raising an awareness of the insurmountable amount of pressure many young children are under today and how often times it can seem to go unnoticed. J.D is our take on a young man trying to navigate life under such stress. 

Host: Wow, that really adds depth to the true meaning behind the movie.

Host: Now I have to know, does J.D eventually make it big in basketball during the movie?

Wyatt: Hmm, I'm going to have to eat something for that one.

Host Ahh well it was worth a shot, the first dish we have prepared for you is a singular pickle spear fresh out of the can, dig in!

Wyatt: Oh you must've done your research on me and my hatred for pickles, this isn't going to be fun.

*Eats the pickle*

Host: Not so bad see,

Wyatt: I now remember why I don't like pickles, that was rough.

Host: Time for the next question, How does your product engage with the audience and how do you plan to distribute this film to the world?

Wyatt: Our target audience for this particular film is young male adults and teenagers, which is one of the reasons we opted for a sports element in the movie. Millions of people around the globe bond over their love for sports daily and this will be a great way to engage with them from film to audience.

Wyatt: This film is to be released in theaters initially, and then eventually it will transition into being available on certain streaming platforms.

Host: Another great answer Wyatt Thank you. I personally can't wait to see this film in theaters.

Host: Speaking of seeing the movie, you and your team have been keeping the release of the full film very secretive, do you have an idea of a date in your head you would like to release it?

Wyatt: Whats the next food you have for me? I'd rather keep it a surprise for you all.

Host: Ur a tough cookie to crack Wyatt, the second dish we have prepared just for you is a singular fresh carrot.

Wyatt: Oh man, at least it well help my eyesight,

*Eats the carrot*

Host: looks very appetizing, well that's all the questions we have for you today Wyatt thank you for joining us it has been a blast.

Wyatt: The pleasure is all mine I had a great time answering questions but not such a good one eating the food. See you next time.

Host: That wraps it up for today's episode stick around next week for an inside look of what the rich and famous are doing this spring break. I'm Jared McGee signing off.
