Creative Critical Reflection

 

Creative Critical Reflection

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

My product challenges conventions because it shows that when you go outside to exercise, or to do some form of physical activity. You don’t need some fancy water bottle or like an energy drink. You can survive with a simple bottle of water and do what you need to do. I used Zephyrhills water, because it is probably one of the most hated, and basic brands of water. But I love it, and I know other people who love it. I wanted to represent people who get judged for the type of water they drink and use water like Zephyrhills.

 

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

 

My product engages with people in a strange way. I had the focus of my video be the actor while showcasing the water bottle a few times. The water bottle was shown towards the end of the video. The purpose of that was to keep the watcher’s attention, then show them what the video was actually about. After I put a little quote about drinking the water and then boom. Commercial, done. Seeing aa this commercial showed physical activity, it could be considered a sports commercial; the drink wasn’t a sports drink, so honestly, I would air the commercial wherever. Like maybe a YouTube ad.

 

 How did your production skills develop throughout this project?

 

 

They developed in way where I felt the need to get to the point all of time. I don’t really know how to explain this feeling, but I just felt like I needed to get to the next step, ad I was felt myself thinking, “I just need to get to the point”.

 

 

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

 

            I brought technology, software, hardware and online into this project by literally editing and blogging. The blogging had me on the internet looking for different pieces of media to put for my blogs. While the editing had me on YouTube watching other people edit. The software was the app I used for my editing. This entire project was based on software, internet, hardware and technology all together.

 I really got to work on my blogging. It is very dumb how I keep slacking off from trying to get these blogs done. I also remembered that you’re not supposed to use the word “we” while blogging and that made me so mad. I used the word “we” so many times. I fail to keep you guys updated on this journey, that would be bad. I would cry myself to sleep. But yeah, filming has been pretty delayed and I’ve been trying to get some things together. I mean I already messed up on the filming process the first time and the second time and right now David and I are on the third time and just trying to get it done. By the way while typing this I use the word “we” three times and had to go back and delete it. It’s so crazy how I was just talking about having a trouble with using that word and then I used it while explaining the fact that I use it when I should not. I Set myself at a limit of at least 20 sentences for blog to entertain the audience. I really hate that I sent myself and it’s so har...

First filming day blog

 Today I started my filming for my water bottle commercial. I feel really confident in my project and I do think that it's going to do well. The person I was filming with was very cooperative and shared a lot of the same creative differences. I am working alone but I did need someone to film, so I asked my closest friend who happens to run track. The sun was hot but my clips were nice. I used some props from the shed out on the field so that I can have a nice video. My main prop was a water bottle but I had the blocks, and some spikes. I also had a sports bag to carry the spikes in and they were really nice. I couldn't  be happier with my project and I hope it turns out nicely and that I can edit this to the best of my ability. I was lucky to run into coach Martin to let me get into the shed and use the blocks because if he didn't, I would've been pissed. Thankfully we got into the shed though. The person that I was working with was really into my directing skills, whic...

The Motion of The Film

The process of the short film titled "A happy ending" or filming any film would need things like a location, props, actors, health and safety, costumes, a schedule and of course a backup plan. Schedule- As for schedule, we are still working on it. we wanted to finalize all filming and wrap up editing by the end of spring break so that when come time to turn in the short film, we are more than prepared. Location-For Location, we were thinking of filming in thee standard places. A supermarket(Publix), Nyla's house, a parking lot at Nyla's house, an a park with pretty lights. There will probably be other places like down the street but those will all be scenes leading up to arriving at those specific Locations. We plan on utilizing each location at different times of the day seeing as we want o use the lighting to help represent the characters emotion Participants- As of right now, our participants consist of Nyla, David, Nyla's mom, and Rashell. Of course David and ...
