Hellooo readers,
Here is my VERY rough draft for the CCR....
-How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?
Our film uses "coming of age" conventions by having the main settings be at school or at home. Characteristics of an outcast include someone who is not part of a main crowd or is very outgoing in school. They keep more to themselves and don't dress to impress. The story revolves around the teenager facing difficulties in her life and how she is reacting to it. The lighting was natural not including the low key lighting in the bedroom. The camera angles were mostly close ups or mid shots to see the characters emotions as much as possible. It allows the audience to be more connected to the character and her emotions. The iconography of the props was demonstrated in our film with school backpacks and . The sounds that are the most evident tare the voice over and upbeat music. The plot used genre conventions such as the teenager facing problems everyday and she will eventually learn a life lesson. Her mom did pass away due to an illness which is another common convention.
-How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?
The Target audience includes teenagers and young adults in lower or middle economic classes. This can relate to people going through this stage in life. Trying to figure out who they are and what they want in the future. This would be distributed in movie theaters then on streaming applications such as Netflix or Redbox. It's good to start in the movie theaters to promote through trailers and large audiences.
-How did your production skills develop throughout this project?
Julia and I learned it is important to over shoot because having more options when editing is better. Also, overshooting is done by capturing the scene in different camera angles (high and low) or having different close ups of the subject. It is does take a good amount of time to think of the different angles and shooting the shot continuously. I learned how important research is to know how to produce a project. There are so many details especially with the mis en scene that a director would have to know. Such as (EXAMPLES) . We were able to stay organized with our shot lists and scripts. We spent less time wondering what to film while we were filming because we knew what we needed. This saved time as we were taking our shots. Planning out our opening was intricate because of all the changes. Also, figuring out our purpose of the film. The creative process was much longer than I had expected. There were constant changes from us wanting to stray from our original ideas to what we want now.
