CCR Notes

 Heyyyyyy! So I have my Media Studies class and we learn what CCR is, also know as Creative Critical Reflection! Basically we have four questions to answer but For two questions, instead of just answering them, we have to answer them in a more creative way, and in the notes our teacher gave us has some options or ideas. 

Two Media Products

-Create two media products that strive to respond to the questions

Here are some options:

• Presentation w/ voiceover- export as a movie
• Director commentary- combination of director speaking on camera and examples from production  
• Talk show-"host" interviews director                                                                                   
• Enhanced podcast- discuss responses to questions, contextual sound is edited in to ensure engagement
•  Other- develop creative way to respond to prompts and illustrate techniques

How to answer each questions! 

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

• Start by discussing genre conventions-cite where you found this information
• Next, discuss which genre conventions you choose to challenge or discuss why you choose not to challenge genre conventions
• End with a discussion of representation. Remember, representation refers to the choices made in how individuals, groups, events, and issues are illustrated within a production.

Question 2!                                                                                                                   How does your produce engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text.

• Discuss how you arrived at your target audience cite necessary research
• Discuss how your production choices, content, etc. Work to engage with your target audience
• Next discuss how you plan to make your film available to audiences
• Response should address realistic options for an amateur filmmaker. For example, you would not release your film worldwide to theaters- this is only an option for major productions.

Question 3!                                                                                                                        How did your production skills develop throughout this project?

• Reflect on how your process evolved throughout the production
• Discuss how you begin with research and planning
• Offer specific details about both of these processes
• Discuss your approach to production. What did you have to change or adapt as you worked on the project.
• End with a reflection on where you started and where you ended. You may also discuss previous projects completed in class and how they helped you to develop your portfolio project

Question 4!                                                                                                                        How did you integrate technologies- software, hardware, and online-in this project

• Begin by discussing any technologies that you used while producing the project
• Discuss hardware- cameras, lighting, microphones, phones, tripods, dollies, sliders, etc
• Discuss Software planning tools editing tools animation tools graphic design tools filter creates
• Blogger

Discuss - How you used technologies

• Did technologies help you solve your problem?

Soooo this basically the notes that I think are really important. I did have an idea but got told by my teacher that I shouldn't because it was over use last year and most of them were bad. My idea was get ready with me. Basically a trend that's going around on the app Tiktok. I'm a little brain dead on ideas right now but I will look on that a little later.
