Creative Critical Reflection

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

My Powerade commercial uses the conventions. I showed to others that you must power through. I showed off the brand to the audience. I tried in which ever way I could've to show off 'power through".  My product represents social groups such as athletes. It helps show people to keep trying to be the best they can be and not give up until they reach their goal.











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

My product engages with audience by showing off a certain activity to get my message through.  I would distribute this product as a commercial or a video on YouTube  or even Instagram.







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


My editing skills developed because I learned how to put music and songs at specific points that improve the quality of the video. I also learned how to reduce certain takes and get the best part out of each clip. I learned how to input different angles and shots into video.













4. How did you integrate technologies – software, hardware and online – in this project?  I used my software to find good songs and other audio producing applications to make my commercial even better.Online is where I came and found pictures to apply to the blogs and the product. I came online and found out the conventions that were needed to make a successful commercial. My software helped get rid of the choppiness that I originally had when making the video.

Genre Research: Comedy

  This powerpoint is on comedy. I did research on a certain genre and that turned out to be comedy. Common lighting found in this genre is high-key lighting. Comedies tend to have extreme close ups and normal angles as well .  The lighting in a comedy film would also be potentially brighter as to  reflect the mood and to film . The costume designs in comedy films change. The acting is goofy and funny.  The make-up in comedy is more precise and colorful.  Props in comedy change in accordance to the tone of the film.  It can vary anywhere from not too bright to not too dark.     One of the main elements of comedy is exaggeration. Bad boys is very well known comedy film. I like the sarcasm of comedy.   The way people react to things is so funny to me.  The repetition that it brings sometimes though, is a big throw off.   A common sound found are crickets.   This sound shows the awkward silence in the room.  Also, it can somet...

   As of right now, I have filmed a little, but not completely. I'm back to filming . I'm done giving myself some time off.. Got the equipment together. I revised my plan . I have ensured everything is planned out.  I got it, the movie is ready to take place. The outfits are put together. I want to make sure I have time to relax. My movie has to find a way to fit two minutes though. It's hard making something about a specific topic and making it only two minutes long. Making a two minute long video or movie requires you to sit down and really pick out the best. It really makes you think about what you are acting . This movie specifically is about the comedy. Also, about how "hate comes in the most random times. I been working on how to produce titles for the film. This video will come out great even though its at a little pause. They always say "quality or quantity" and in this case that is factual. The better the video turns out, the less people are worried ...

Genre Research: Bad Boys

  Bad boys main elements are the slapstick violence and farce. T he ' buddy comedy ' genre is fairly well-known.  There have been plenty of them, all of them primarily based on the basic idea of having two main characters.  Who are, well, buddies; they act like friends to each other.  They get in fights, they help each other out. They also compliment each other.  This all starts from a case involving someone  w hose evidence from a $100 million heroin bust is stolen. Who get in trouble with the chief, who yells at them. And with a chick from Internal Affairs, who takes them off the case. While all of this, they still find a way to make jokes. The plot is like a jigsaw puzzle with pieces.    The dialogue runs on endlessly. This emphasizes the point of farce because this is all happening so quickly. There are also a lot of curious interludes in which Lawrence and Smith do verbal riffs.  Interrupting each other, stream of consciousness. Finishin...
