Journal 7 Remediation

One specific example of remediation that first comes to mind for me is the remediation of the movie E.T. to the Universal Studio's ride called "E.T Adventures" In the famous movie E.T. a young boy discovers an alien on Earth and befriends it. He soon realizes that the alien, named E.T., is not safe on Earth and also need to help his friends on his planet. For this reason much of the exciting parts of the movie are the boy'a adventures in getting him back home to his planet. When you decide to go on this ride you watch a short video clip and then get onto bike-like seats knowing you are getting onto the ride and joining in on the adventure of getting E.T. safely back home. In the movie the boys take bikes, avoid the police and hid E.T. to protect him. On the ride the same general events of the movie are put into action as you go through and ride the ride. This is a very good form of remediation in my eyes.
