Reflection Questions

 

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

This product challenges different types of people to use different utensils that have a better quality. It allows people to have an open mind with using a gel pen instead of a regular pen. This can open up their creativity with the different writing methods. for example people that sign a contract could change up their signatures. Also students that take notes in class with pens can organize the notes with paper mate gel pens . This represents different social groups by people that work in jobs that have to do with signing papers, school, and people that write and take notes.


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

The purpose is to tell them about a change in what you usually do which in this case is a different pen. it is also to convince them that maybe their pens that they're using today is probably not as good as paper mate gel pens.it could be distributed as a real media text by just bringing peace to your everyday lives with using a great pen. Some people are not a big fan of pens, but paper mate gel pens can maybe make them have a sort of liking of pens and using them.

 

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

 

At first I was confused on using the editing apps. the most I've ever did out of editing was edit my photos . With that being said this is mostly all new for me . At first I thought I could figure it out but then I realized I had to go through the help guide. Also when shooting I had a little bit of difficulty trying to figure out the levels of shots. Because of that I made it simple and only shot two different types of shots. I feel like I can edit videos better now that I know what I'm doing now and explore more production types such as filming in different ways. Maybe next time I could use a different app for editing. hopefully I make a lot of progress through my skills.  

 

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

So all of the technology I used was my laptop and my phone. I used my phone to record and to add audio to the commercial. I used my laptop to edit the commercial and add special effects and transitions. I used a few different editing apps. For example, capcut, filmora, video pad video editor, and more. I used filmora to add videos together, I used VideoPad to remove the watermark, and I used capcut to add in the audio since they weren’t working to add in the other apps. Ill have to do more research next time about different editing apps so wouldn’t have to use multiple platforms. That definitely made the process more challenging then it had to be.

genre choice for film

  Based on the research we did for the blogs, we feel as though mystery will fit best for our movie. This genre really would climb as the film goes on. By the end of the film is where we find our solution or our ending. This inspired us as a whole as we are trying to create a film that has to do with suspicion. It would really draw the audience attention. I feel like our pitch really fits in with this genre. If in the future we would have to tweak it, it wouldn't be a problem. We weren't thinking to add dialogue at first as our idea, but it might be the thing that we need to add. As stated previously, the mystery genre has a decent popularity in films nowadays. The wide variety of aspects and work that goes into these films really brings it all together. Which further creates something that truly represents mystery. Some camera angles that correlate to mystery are close-ups. They also include medium close-ups. They also use dialogue when it comes to mystery to give the audience...

Our Pitches!

Image
  Pitch One - As a man drives along peacefully, his GPS suddenly malfunctions, leading him in the wrong direction. Little does he know the way he's going is the way to his demise. This first pitch has some interesting dynamic to it, it feels straight forward and it has its uniqueness in general. However its not the most interesting because the viewers can probably predict the entire movies plot from start to finish. We want it to be something unexpected and mysterious. It also may be hard to film since it does involve driving and only one of us has a permit to actually allow us to drive. There are too many cons that come with making this pitch and it probably isn't our safest or easiest route to take. Pitch Two - A girl has a doll that enjoys playing with all the time, until one day that doll mysteriously disappears. She goes off to find it herself.  This pitch has its potential into becoming something very interesting for our film. Even though it does have a common plot line....
