Creative Critical Reflection 

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

My product represents current issues, with Becketts clip of the Film. Beckett’s clip is used to represent a person that is not traditionally in sport or athletic. This represents an issue because some people believe that the Nike brand is only for athletic people and for people that are involved in sports. Beckett wearing Nikes represents that anybody could use the brand. No matter what sport or even if you are not involved in a sport, Nike can be convenient to you no matter what. Nike can be used for many reasons, for example, comfortable clothing, comfortable shoes, socks and accessories. The stereotype now in days is that brands like Adidas, Nike, Reebok are only for fit and athletic people, however that is not the case. These brands are just used for comfort and style no matter age. 

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

Although Nike could be used for anybody even if not athletic, it does entertain the portion of society that is involved in athletics and sports. Audiences that traditionally use clothing, shoes that are made for comfort can engage them. Our commercial would be distributed as a commercial that you would see before watching a YouTube video, or before resuming back to your show. The music that is used can engage the older audiences since it is an oldie classic. Since there was a widespread of sports involved in the commercial, that can also engage people that are involved in those specific sports. For example, if someone that sees the commercial plays volleyball and see Kaya playing volleyball,  this will engage them more since it is something they are familiar with. 

  1.  
    How did your production skills develop throughout this project? 

My production skills developed throughout project because it helped me learn how to think outside of the box. Even though that is a cliche saying, it truly is factual. This production taught me that you could always make something better if you think hard enough. When you put enough thought into something, the likelihood of it being greater than before is high. Thinking of the ways to make something better can expand your thought process and help you become better with your production skills. Trying to make this commercial the best of the best was the motivation that me and my group mates had. We were beyond passionate about this project and that helped our production skills. 

  1. How did you integrate technologies - software, hardware and online- in this project? 

My group and I had to explore different resources that we could use to edit our film. First off, we were just going to use an app on our phones to edit. However, when we thought more deeply, we figured out that using iMovie on my computer would be the best option. A piece of technology that we used was I movie. We also use a hardware product that was kind of like a tripod to film. This tripod stabilized our shots and helped them come out sleeker and sharper.

  How do your products represent social groups or issues?   Our short film focuses on some of the issues that high school students face. In this case, Macie, the new girl, attends yet another new school because of her Dads job . Being "the new kid" is difficult enough on its own, but Courtney makes Macie's first few days at school even more difficult. Courtney is envious that her crush, Jacob, prefers Macie over her. This causes fued in the teens and creates drama which is common in high school social groups. Courtney does something that is common in High School and teenage social groups which she s ends out an embarassing photo of macie to the whole school. This, however, reveals to Jacob what kind of person Courtney truly is. Courtney decides she needs to apologize and make amends for what she has done to Macie. The short film captures some of the emotions that many teenagers and high school students experience . Whether it's anxiety, jealousy, or embarrass...

Macies shots- Production Blog

Camille and I filmed the school parts first because that was our biggest concern. I wanted to make sure we got those done since spring break is coming up. Since we finished the school parts we are going to focus on the solo ones. Therefore, today after school Camille came to my house. She helped me film the parts where I am getting ready for school. To start, she used a medium shot to show me waking up for school. Then we started getting Macie ready for school. Camille did a close up of me doing my make-up and picking my outfit. Our biggest challenge was the breakfast scene. We wanted to do a close-up of my mom cracking an egg into a pan, but we couldn't get it right the first couple times. So we kepted wasting eggs. But it was pretty funny. Camille also did a close up of me my phone scrolling while my mom and I were having dialogue. This was to show that I was uninterested in having the New Girl talk with my mom. We then headed downstairs to film the scene where I am walking to my...

Difficulties in Actors- Production Blog

 I'm collaborating on the short film with my friend Camille. I'm glad I can work with her because she's a good friend of mine, and I think we work well together.. However, making a film with only two people in the group is kind of more difficult. We should have been more cautious about our ideas for our short film because there are only two of us, and we should have considered ways to make it easier for us to film without the need for extra people. However we got lucky because we have some friends that are willing to help us with out film. And thankfully, they have some experience with film. Me an camilles friend Mya who is also on my Waterpolo team will play Emma and will also assisting with filming. Kameron, another friend of me and Camile,  will play Jacob. He was also in all of my films last year in AS level so we have some history together. Camille and I felt guilty asking them to be in our film because this time of year is extremely stressful and busy, and they also h...
