     Our movie follows many conventions in the coming of age genre. The movie follows the life teenage girl who goes to high school and how the modern world more specifically social media affects her. This follows conventions because many movies in this genre follow girls specifically teenagers and their life. This movie is relatable to teenagers today as technology is more involved and affects the teen in a realistic way. Bullying is a popular way technology is used in coming of age movies but we decided to go a different route as it is more relatable in our opinion. Our product engages with audiences because it is relatable. There is a large audience that the media has not tried to reach. This audience is teens of color specifically black girls. There is a lot of diversity in this movie that not a lot of other coming of age movies has. Teens can relate to these characters especially the main who we see most in depth. I Throughout every project I think my skills always get a little better because of the experience and practice I gain. This project was more hands on as it was a smaller amount of people working and planning on it. I learned how to deal with unexpected changes to plans. When story boarding we had a totally different vision for our movie. Also, there were many changes to our sound and shooting scripts. Technology is a big part of making a movie whether it be planning production advertising and filming it. We used a wide range of technologies mostly phones. We used phones in a couple different way from props to filming. We filmed our movie using a phone to go with the vibe we wanted. We wanted the audience to think it was being filmed from the point of view of a phone so what better to give that feel than a phone itself.
