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.
