Lets go to the Movies, Lets go see the stars...


It's time for the Biz-Movie premiere!

Before I show you our movie, I'd like to tell you what happened earlier that day. Barbara( Executive Producer from Hudson Hype Productions) and I went to another class to introduce our fellow students to Biz-Movie. The other class was using another Biz program called BizWorld. Their project was a bit different from ours, but the same lessons and vocabulary were applied. The students using Biz-World created businesses that made friendship bracelets. I had the opportunity to go around and spend 30 biz bucks on a couple of friendship bracelets as well. After everyone went around buying bracelets, we had a discussion about what company was the most effective. Most of the professors agreed that the selling point for them was the fact that they could buy a bracelet and give to a charity at the same time.  
 Biz-World and Biz-Movie are programs used to make students realize the information they are learning can be used in the real world. Barbara and I showed the class our commercials and then sold tickets to whom ever was interested in our movie. Barbara had 6 people interested in her movie, while I had 16 interested. The other class really boosted the Revolution Ladies ticket sales. 

I also want to thank Alyssa for making the template for the tickets. They were simple, but effective. Exactly what we needed!

*Our assignment was to make a 1-5 minute movie about the American Revolution. The trick to making this movie was to make Social Studies fun. 

After all of our hard work, the movies are finally done!

This time my group, Revolution Ladies went first. This is our movie:
I think we all did such a wonderful job! We all agree that the movie is outstanding. It's amazing what a great job we did, because none of us have never used Imovie before. 

Here is Hudson Hype Productions Movie Trailer:
Hudson Hype Productions took a different approach on this project. They decided to make a movie trailer to try and encourage students to read a book about the American Revolution. Nice job everyone!!!

At the end of the day we made a profit of 57 biz bucks. We had to subtract: salaries, copyright, production of a commercial, ticket sales, production of a movie, an enhanced data package, ticket supplies, an additional character, and the 20% of the stock we sold. This movie was a friendly competition and the Revolutionary Ladies won! I'm so proud of all my group members. We all did an amazing job working together to get the job done.
