Jungle analysis

What was the task you were assigned?
Our task was to re-create a an interview of the producer and the marketing manager of the 2016 Jungle Book re-make. We had to incorporate key information and stats about the film to help revise for, for future examinations.
What programme did you use to complete your task? 
To edit our interview we used the editing software that is Abode premiere pro, with this software we used to editing tools to help use the green screen to add various layers and images to the background, also other clips such as the trailer was put into place over our original audio and film.
What tools/effect did you use from your programme to create your task?
We used the ultra key to add images to the original audio, this then replaced the green screen background with images from the film to help entice the audience to watch the film.
What were the biggest obstacles to completing your task?
The most difficult part was probably filming all the characters to look at similar eye lines, as i as the interviewer was speaking on my own in one shot while the producer and marketing manager were based in another shot looking in another direction to the camera. This was done to allow a realistic view of an interview.
Did you complete the task on time?
We completed the task on time, as we utilized our time by effectively planning and spreading the work evenly between the whole group. This allowed the work to be completed to the date required.
How do you think this task will help with your Jungle Book revision?
Personally i believe that this will help me remember and revise in the future, as it is an alternative to tedious book work, therefore this variety has created a memory that has been stored that can be recollected easily. 
What do you think you could have improved in terms of content and presentation?
Personally, I believe that the quality of my work has improved drastically as i am now familiar with various programs and functions within the media world. Therefore, i now work more effectively and efficiently to the deadline and with a group. My presentation has become cleaner due to vaster editing knowledge due to repetition and practice.
What was your initial feedback? What did others say about your production?
Other companions seemed to enjoy and like our work, this then helped me to recollect the effort put in to create a successful interview that was completed to the deadline.
Identify what went well and with hindsight what would you do differently?
I believe that most of our work was done to an acceptable standard, however if i was to create this task again them i would spend more time editing our work to add more effects and cleanliness to our clips so they would run slightly more smoothly without a space between speech.

Jungle Book Script

INTERVIEWER: Hi guys, welcome back to Disney Daily. Today (as you have seen by the trailer),we are joined by some very special guests. We have the producer and the marketing manager of the new Jungle Book movie.

INTERVIEWER: The original Jungle Book movie was released in 1967 and it is still loved to this day. With a total gross box office of $141,843,000, it was a huge hit! Now this may seem very hard to follow but I think we can all agree that this remake was definitely worth the wait!

INTERVIEWER: Welcome!

PRODUCER: Thank you for having us today.

INTERVIEWER: Well it's our pleasure. I know many people have been waiting for this movie including me and by the trailer, I mean, wow, what a film.

PRODUCER: Oh thank you (haha). The dedication from everyone was key for the success of the end product.

INTERVIEWER: Now, we can obviously see by the trailer how new and exciting this movie is but how did this movie differ from the original 1967 Jungle Book?

PRODUCER: We used the CGI process to improve the graphics and animation to truly bring the characters and the jungle to life. We wanted the animals to seem as real as possible so that people could really believe the story. The 1967 version obviously didn't have the technological advancements which was a large part of this new remake. The old version was also more aimed at a younger primary audience and we felt that we needed to stick more to the accuracy of the book. By doing this, we targeted a slightly older audience by making the animals and jungle seem more menacing, fierce and realistic as you saw in the trailer (hand gesture).

INTERVIEWER: Tell us about how you created the movie in a way that appealed to the audience.

PRODUCER: Our aim was to target 12-21 year olds. I switched between ideas from the book and the film. We decided to keep in 'Bare necessities' as it was clearly a fan favourite with the younger children. I mean, most children know the song (both laugh and agree with each other). Also, we did decide to keep in King Louie despite him not actually existing in the book.

INTERVIEWER: In one of the scenes, you can see Lupita's character Raksha with Neel Sethi as Mowgli. How did you shoot that, h-how did you make the scene seem as though he was physically interacting with her (pic on screen)?

PRODUCER: There were a few ways as to how we did it. We had a puppet on a stick which had a sculpted foam head and also a blue padded head. Even when we were filming the scene of Mowgli in the water with Baloo, I was in the water with Neel, splashing him unexpectedly with water to get a real reaction from him whilst he was in mid-song. For this version to be able to use props and outstanding editing was, was amazing to be able to have. It really was just a fantastic movie to shoot.

INTERVIEWER: Now Mike, as the marketing manager for this movie, what were the main formats in your opinion that aided in promoting and marketing the movie?

MARKETING MANAGER: Well, Jon will agree that we had the wonderful pleasure of working with a celebrity driven cast. This allowed us to gather obviously a large following from that. Additionally, we had a spectacular opportunity to collaborate with Kenzo which is a luxury clothing brand originating in Paris (which is also where Disneyland is). So, this collaboration provided a larger fan base by promoting high-end clothing associated with animal prints and the characters from the movie. This allowed a larger revenue and association with this CGI remake.

INTERVIEWER: I remember when I went to see Star Wars: The Force Awakens and one of the extended 3D trailers beforehand was for The Jungle Book (points at poster).

MARKETING MANAGER: Ah yes, we wanted to be able to reach out to a larger male audience as the word 'Disney' tends to attract more women and girls. We repeatedly pitched to male audiences in order for everyone to feel intrigued by the movie trailer. Following on from this, we also showed the trailer during the Super Bowl which was a quick way of advertising to a large range and variety of ages and genders.

INTERVIEWER: I understand that Jon and three of the cast members actually went to a 7,800 seat arena at a Disney fan convention in Anaheim.

MARKETING MANAGER: (nodding) Yes, Jon showed sneak-peek footage from the film to the arena and then thousands of movie posters were handed out which was actually the first marketing stunt for The Jungle Book. It was tweeted about by many people (images shown) after it occurred.

INTERVIEWER: Those movie posters were fantastic, especially the ones with the voice actors paired with their onscreen characters.

MARKETING MANAGER: Thank you (smiling). This elevated the minds of the grown ups as it made them pay attention to the stars who were featured on the posters.

INTERVIEWER: Not only have you reached different age and gender audiences, but you also managed to reach people from other countries. How did you manage to do this?

MARKETING MANAGER: Through the years. we've learned that Hispanic people tend to go the movies in fairly large groups and so we decided to team with Univision for a 5-week stunt that brought clips of The Jungle Book to telenovelas, talk shows and even sports coverage. Park theatres in Florida and California offered sneak peek footage of the movie with Jon providing introductions.

INTERVIEWER: Well, I guess its time to wrap it up there! Thank you so much for coming and talking with me.

MARKETING MANAGER: Thank you again for having us.

INTERVIEWER: (look at camera) Make sure you check out The Jungle Book as it is well worth the watch. Please like, comment and subscribe. And we'll see you all next time.

Revision Questions

How does media language incorporate viewpoints and ideologies in the Daily Mail and the Guardian?

  • Hard/soft news
  • Headlines, captions
  • Choices of photos
  • Evidence of objectivity and subjectivity
  • Compare ads
The Guardian presents a very formal front page on the website the photo used to present the pm with happy emotions however this clearly is used to contradict her current feelings and actions towards brexit. The use of this Headline presents the hard news that has been used to deliver a serious case to the audience without humour, as the audience of the guardian are predominantly shown to be left wing (labour) therefore presenting May in a bad way helps the audience associate the severity of the case and read the rest of the news. The noun consensus is used to portray the lack of trust and agreement within government at the moment; especially within the tori party as they usually are united however are not in this instance whilst the uk are incorporated in a major deal that could have a vast effect of the future. The Guardian presents a more objective text as it delivers the news within a nutshell without missing any key facts or trying to please the audience.

On the other hand, the Daily Mail use soft news about the Royals to prevent repetition within the news and effectively prevent boredom of the reader, therefore vast pictures were used to dominant the page, then the titles and captions are also very large to try and create 'important' news. The news topics clearly represent the audience. The subjective titles try to co-operate with the audience to create an emotional state of the audience to feel sympathetic for the royal children and the recent royal wedding, this is presented by the image showing three children all smiling with there parents in a natural setting.
