Portfolio Post: Reflection on final project

     This project has taught me a lot about creating a media product. This project made me really focus in on time management and research. I think project was a good thing it really allowed me to use a more creative side of my brain to complete it.

    I think the best part of this project was the fact I had to be creative. This project wasn't a typical give task and complete you really were forced to be creative to complete this task. Every challenge required a creative solution. 

For example this boxing ring was my biggest problem. I dont have access to a real ring so I had to get creative for the solution. what I ended up doing was getting a black sheet as the background and used a battle rope as the ropes of the ring. I think it turned out really good and I am very proud of the solution I came up with.

    This project was a really good thing for me I think as now I know just that much more on all the skills I used: time managment, using a camera, audio. All these skills have really just improved throughout this project.

Portfolio Post: CCR editing

     Ok. It's coming up on the end of the project. Today I edited my CCR videos

I used free music from pixabay in the background to add to the youtube feeling of the first one. I've attempted my best to not make it just a floating head as its supposed to be a director commentary so ive added images and bts things over the talkover to feel more like a director commentary. The first half is a bit floating head but I switched that up for the second CCR question thats when I really added all the extra images to break it up.

     The second one is still being edited but I believe it is coming along nicely. I am excited to post the finished product soon.

Portfolio Post: CCR production

     Today I recorded my first and second CCR videos. For the first CCR video I went with a basic youtube style creator Q&A commentary. I think it turned out pretty well now I just have to edit that one. For the second CCR video I went with a News style interview were the creator is being qouted by the news anchor.

    I am now in the editing stage of the CCRs which I will be posting about tomorrow. Overall as the final days of the project approach I am happy with mine.

Portfolio Post: Ideas for CCR

     Ok so this is my last post before starting my CCRs and I just wanted to state my ideas for the CCRs.

       My first idea for the first two CCR questions was just going to be a basic youtube video type creator talkover. So itd have a "commenter" ask a question and id just go over the answer.

    The second Idea for CCR 3 and 4 was a lot more fun in my opinion. My idea for those was a news type interview so it would be a new person going over what the creator said about his work in an interview and it would have the qoute on screen of the answer.

Sort of like this image would appear and a news person would read over it saying something like "The author was asked (CCR Question) and he reponded with "....""

     The final question asked is

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

    I learned how to use an actual camera and learned many features of Clipchamp. In Clipchamp I had to learn how to mess with the saturation and contrast and temperature of scenes to make some of my scenes look more clear and look overall nicer. I had to learn how to use an actual camera other than my phone I had to learn how to focus the camera on what I wanted and how to work with brightness of the camera.

     The third question that is asked of us is

• How did your production skills develop throughout this project?

    I would say this project has really developed my time managment skills and also recording skills. I have really had to make sure I get every blog post out on time while also developing the project so this has really got me to focus in and manage my time, And my recording skills have increased a good amount, I don't think my skills are exeptional but I am proud with what I have accomplished I think my recordings have come out pretty good this project being worth so much put the pressure on making the recordings look good so it forced me to really lock in on the recording.

     The next question asked is

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

    I’ve attempted to get it to engage with audiences through the use of making it familiar to people but also being unique. I wanted that feeling of familiarity to attract people towards it than I use that to tell a unique story of my own creation. I would distribute it through YouTube as that is a free way of distributing it to lots of people. It also allows me to get statistics on how well my product did with retention and views.

Script

     Pulls out paper from bucket

     Screen shows question from comments in a YouTube channel section

    Me: This viewer asks How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?

       Me: Well I’ve attempted to engage with audiences through making the film familiar yet unique. I used this familiarity of my film to get audiences attracted to it and then I was able to tell a unique story with it. Obviously the people watching my film opening wouldn’t be people into superhero movies or fashion movies so I wanted to create a feeling that specifically targets people who enjoy sports-dramas like rocky or creed by making it feel familiar to those people.

    Me: And the way I would distribute it is through youtube as that allows me to do it for free and allows me to see the statistics on it. So this would allow me to see how well my audience retention was and what parts people watched or if they skipped over any parts.

Portfolio Post: CCR research #1

     For this project we get asked 4 questions that we are expected to be able to answer the first question is 

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

    My product uses the typical conventions of a sports movie. We have a main character that is working hard the be the very best. I use this convention to help with my underlining represetation of mental health. this represntation isnt directly stated in the opening but I tried to show it through him getting more and more aggressive after every flashback showing his mental state decline in the just the opening few minutes without directly saying his mental state has declined.
