Creative Reflection

 How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues?

 My product uses the conventions I mentioned in an early blog. As I filmed the commercial I made sure to check in on my research and made sure that it matches them. As I said that they usually add PlayStation to clarify what they are advertising I made sure to do the same. It helps represent social groups because while using the PlayStation you can communicate with many other people and form relationships from it. It also represents issues because as they are playing the system they won't go outside and get face-to-face contact which could make them distant.

How does your product engage with audiences AND how would it be distributed as a real media text?

This product engages with the audience because they themselves can physically play. They could get it and have fun to their hearts contempts. The product can also provide many opportunities for all ages. As an example, a sixteen-year-old managed to win three million from playing a game that you can access from this product. The PlayStation can be distributed as a real media text because it has access to the internet and other media. Media like Youtube, Twitch, Netflix, and many more.

How did your production skills develop throughout this project?

My production skills have developed throughout this project because at first, all I thought I needed was an idea and a camera. Ever since I began this project I started to understand all the time and dedication it takes to film and edit a good commercial. One that's able to draw the watchers' attention and keep it throughout the whole commercial. Understanding that to produce a film requires a lot of planning and preparation. It helped me develop a more detailed planned on how I want everything to go and what exactly I want to convey throughout my film.

How did you integrate technologies – software, hardware, and online – in this project?

I integrated technologies within my project by using my camera to film the project. My phone to gather all the clips and compile them within a single film. Then used editing software to delete excess time from the clips. I then had online people judge it to see if there were things I should add or take out. Then posted it on a media called YouTube to present the commercial to the attended people.

The backup

Image
 When we were looking through our footage we realized that some of our outside scenes were a bit grey. All the clouds were blocking out the sunlight which caused us to try and use different filters to try and add more colors to the scene rather than letting it look bland and greyish. Another problem we saw/heard when we replayed our footage was the wind. The wind was blowing quite hard, hard enough that we could barely hear the actors speak. We had to reshoot those scenes because the other scenes became unusable. The cameraman had to film on the opposite side of where the wind was blowing to try and block out as much wind as possible. Another problem we faced was the cars and people. We were filming at a park so a lot of people were, so we tried to talk as loudly as possible to try and drown them out. We were able to drown them out, but we were still able to hear them in the film. It was okay because it just made the film look and sound more realistic. It would be weird to be in a ...

Genre research Drama

Image
  In this powerpoint, we were assigned to research a specific genre and analyze the specific conventions and to recognize what makes this genre different than others. To begin, in the drama genre, the different types of lighting used where low key lighting and high key lighting, usually to show the mood in the scene. Common angles included, but were not limited too, low angles, with common movement being reverse zoom, and tracking. Conventionally, costumes depended on the setting. While a drama filmed in the colonial period would likely depict women with dresses while a more modern drama would likely depict women with jeans and a tee. Elements of drama included suspense, foreshadowing and a consistent theme.    Finally, we researched that dramas usually have some type of score, diegetic, non-diegetic, and incidental music.  What we realized when researching drama is the reoccurring themes which makes the plot more predictable and repetitive however, dramas have varie...

Genre Discussion

Image
 For the past couple of days, my partner and I have been discussing what genre should we do. We couldn't choose right away at first because we had to discuss the pros and the cons of each genre. We had to choose out of thriller, drama, and action. (3) The first genre we had was the drama genre. The drama has  stories with high stakes and a lot of conflicts. They're plot-driven and demand that every character and scene move the story forward. We  both worked on this genre when we had the genre project, so we both had some knowledge about it. The pros of this genre are that we had the basics of it down, so the research could be kept to a minimum. This genre best fits the pitch that we choose in our earlier discussion. The cons of this genre are that some of the common things found in drama we might not be able to recreate. Things like costumes or have makeup. Other than the smaller details drama seem like the best choice out of the three. (8) The second genre we discussed w...
