Group Meeting #2

 Group Meeting #2 

     Emi 

Idea #1- Emi's first idea for her CCR is to make an unboxing video, where she is the actress to her film, and she's opening fan letters, gifts, etc. The CCR questions will be written in the letters as if a fan is asking them, and she will answer them. 

Idea #2- Her second idea is to do an interview. 

     Jano

Idea #1- His first idea is to do a street interview, where a guy will come up to him while in his car and ask what he does for a living, then ask him the 2 CCR questions. 

Idea #2- A YouTube video, where he will be holding the camera and talking to his viewers about his movie and telling them to watch it.

     Mariana

Idea #1- She's doing a "What's in my Purse" video, she will take out props from the movie and talk about it.

Idea #2- She doesn't know what she's doing for her second video yet.

     Ale

Idea #1- Her first idea is to make a video where she is the producer, and just got out of surgery, and her surgeon asks her questions about her new famous movie. 

Idea #2- Her second idea is to film a review on the movie, where she will also be talking about all the hate that her and her movie are getting. 

     Sofia 

Idea #1- Sofia's first idea is to make a news channel, where there's going to be breaking news, and the breaking news is her movie. 

Idea #2- Her second idea is to have a baking channel, she will bake and answers questions about her movie. 

     My CCR ideas 

Idea #1- My first idea is to make the producer, me, into a witness in a trial. The lawyer will ask what I do for a living and then ask me questions about the movie, where he'll ask me the CCR questions and I will answer them.

Idea #2- My second idea is to

     What technologies did you integrate- software, hardware, and online?

   We integrated a lot of technology while producing our two minute film opening. 

   

CCR Question #3

 CCR Question #3

     How did your production skills develop throughout this project?

   My production skills improved tremendously. This project made me realize how hard it is to produce a film, but it also made me learn many new techniques for filming, editing, and producing. Working in a group was very very helpful, we all have different skills and are good at doing different things, which was very helpful so that we could work together and all do something that we're good at to come up with the best project we could. One thing that was challenging was editing, none of us are really good at it or enjoy doing it, but we came together to do it, and it turned out pretty good.

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

CCR Question #1

 CCR Question #1 

     Hi blog! Today I'm starting my posts about CCR, I'm honestly a little scared about it since we have such little time and I'm also not the most creative person... We need two videos and they both answer two CCR questions, and we have to make our videos unique and something that represents us. I'm in mock trial and I want to be a lawyer so I thought I could do my first CCR video as if it is a court trial, where I'll be a witness and my lawyer will ask me questions, and two of them will be the CCR questions. For my second idea I thought I could do something related to football, since I'm the assistant manager for my school's football team, but I don't know how to relate that to being a film producer, I also thought about making a hand-held video where I'm stuck somewhere, and I'm going to be talking to the outside world, as if I'm not going to make it out alive, and talking about my movie. I still don't know which of the two I'm going to choose, but as soon as I do, I'll post about it!

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

   My film is about a doctor, called Dr Hank Shabata, who keeps his patients sick for his own personal pleasure. The genre is suspense and horror, we portray these genres in our two minute opening by using darker lighting, suspense audio, and by not giving too much information on the actual film, which creates suspense. 

   One social issue that this movie presents is that it critiques the healthcare system. It represents how sometimes doctors or pharmacies prioritize profit over their patient's well-being. It also represents the power and control that some people have over others. Doctors are seen as an authority figure, they are extremely intelligent and of course their patients will do wha they tell them to to get better, but they can use that to their advantage, keeping the patients dependent on them and powerless, making them listen and obey to what they say, even if it's keeping them sick, they won't know. The patients represent vulnerable people, they do what the doctors say because they believe that's what its best for them, obviously, they're doctors, their job is to make their patients feel better, but some doctors don't want that, they just want money. 

     

Post-Production Post #2 Editing

 Post-Production Post #2 Editing 

     Since we are editing on my iPad, and there's no way to share the project to edit together, I gave Isa my iPad so she could edit some things. She cut the clips shorter, added the title, added the production company, and added more audios.

     She also added some special effects, one  special effect that she added that I really liked is when we drop food coloring in the beaker, the clip shows the beaker alone, and a drop of blue food coloring falling into it, and Isa made it reverse at the end, which I thought looked really cool. 

     

Post-Production Post #1 Editing

 Post-Production Post #1 Editing 

     The first thing me and my group did after recording our two minute film opening, was review the clips and see if they were good enough and if when added together, the time came close to two minutes. We then picked the clips that we decided to use, and cut then to make them shorter if necessary, or muted them if necessary. 

     Me and my group all don't really like or are good at editing, so we decided to divide and conquer. I would be responsible to adding everything together on the app, which we are using Premiere Rush, Gigi is responsible for creating the production company logo, and Isa is responsible to creating the credits. 

     I started by adding all the clips we wanted into the app. I then used music to find an eerie audio for the background of our opening, after picking the audio I wanted, I inserted it into the app. This was how we started our editing process.
