Creative critical reflection

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

    In todays society, you don't see much love or kindness being spread. Sometimes all someone wants or needs to hear is a compliment or something nice and it can save their life. The idea behind our commercial was to "spread joy." If you notice in one clip there is a kid sitting looking sad on a bench and he is given a note that cheers him up. There isn't one specific social group being represented its more of a society as a whole and how important it is to spread kindness. A big issue world wide is selfishness and depression and we thought our commercial could spread some light on that.

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

    Everyone uses sticky notes for many things like school, work, reminders, kind notes, etc. We chose to show just one way to use them but it isn't limited to just that. It is a nice short feel good commercial that can be put on TV and any social media platform.

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

    Filming this has shown me how to film certain clips so when we add them together they don't look so choppy. It has also made me more attentive. For example, if i saw one of the actresses wearing a school lanyard we would have to take it off or if the logo was somewhere we would have to switch locations. Another thing is learning more about filming terms like tilt and pan. I think one thing we could've done better is making the scenes we started with a tilt more obvious.

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

    Since technology is more evolved, we only had to use a phone camera and an editing app. To film. I used violets phone which is an iPhone 11 so the quality was very good. Then she air dropped the videos to mila so that can can edit the videos together. Imovie is a great app to use for editing videos. Its very self explanatory so mila just put the videos in and she had to cut some in order to film the time limit and still, it was a little too long so she made the clips faster with a feature on Imovie.

Critical Reflection

  “Time For Dinner” the short film portrays imagination through a young child's eyes. Toys may just look like plastic things with no life to them to us now, but we did not always think that way. Adults once too would sit for hours at a time playing with those ‘plastic things’. Somehow, our brain was able to create a whole new world with characters we created, and sometimes we would forget the real world for a second. It seems as though no one truly recognizes or appreciates imagination, and that is exactly what I wanted to show with this short film.  My movie represents children's imagination and how things children see in everyday life can affect their mind. Society has become a scary world to live in and sometimes it is hard to shield the young generation from it. A parent could innocently be watching the news and a storyline of a dangerous crime can come on while their child is near. This new concept of crimes like theft, killing, and other things can cause a child to thi...

  CAMS:  There is no music video for our song choice, Are we still friends by Tyler The Creator, so we looked at his othe songs to do our research. We noticed a lot of usage of tracking shots. A character would be seen traveling from place to place. Also, the camera would pan across the landscape to show establishing shots a lot. There are also a lot of close ups and POV shots.  CLAMPS: The costumes are regular attire for the most part, nothing exactly special. Lighting depends on the scene, but a lot of his videos have an outside setting . As far as acting, we can see real emotion in all of the actors' facial expressions. The music is obviously the song in the background. Props used a lot were phones, food, and cars. The setting was generally outside, with a lot of nature, or inside with low depressing lighting because most of his songs are on the sad side.  SOUND: The sound is the song in the background, there are a decent amount of beat drops in Tyler The Creator'...

      For my group project some may say I got lucky. I get to work with my three other friends. This may not seem like the best idea but i know they are smart hardworking individuals. I will start with myself and my task in this project. I said in my intro that I have some talent in the artistry department so that will be my job. For the story board it is important that is is easy to understand with well drawn pictures.      S econd we have Mila, I met mila last year and which is surprising because of everything with COVID. she has a very intelligent mind and a good creative eye. this means she is our editor. When we need something taken out, special effects, sound effects etc we've got our handy dandy mila.                                                                ...
