Hello and welcome to the media podcast, Today I will be answering two CCR questions that are being ask frequently. So lets get right into it. How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups and issues? So there are some reoccurring themes in coming-of-age genre films. Stuff like growing up, youth, self-discovery, or youth transitioning into adult hood. In these types of films there is a main focus on what exactly the main character is going through, basically their arc or an event that they have to overcome. In our film opening, there is a romance that thrives on the main character to overcome emotions, jealously, trial and error and other. In some romance films there is a love triangle that really creates the conflict in that film and the leads will have to overcome that problem somehow. Examples like the notebook, or to all the boys I love before have these love triangles that the leads get through somehow. So the convention in our film is prettyy important. In our film we are repersenting the woman that are the leads. Showing the struggles of what teenagers go through growing up, the loss of relationships, the change of personality/mindset. How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text. So, when I was researching coming of age genre, I try to see what the targeted audiences was for these types of films. I come to notice that the target audience was around 12-18 year olds. Because this genre is something they can relate to because it base around a teenager growing up and them going through the stages of youth to adult hood. The choices me and my partner dani made in this film was to reach the targeted audience of 12 to 18 year olds. Its come to my attention a lot of people like romance in coming of age genres. Especially love triangles, maybe its the thought of two people giving them attention that makes this type of romance so appealing to the audience of this genre. When creating our film opening and creating the story. I think two best friends liking the same guy is actually pretty common for teenage girls. So it would interest them more into watching the film because its something they can relate to. We would distribute this film to YouTube, and post about in on social media platforms to promote the film and let it get recognition. By distributing the film to multiply platforms really lets us get enage with our targeted audience

Hi, I’m Brianna Gutierrez and this is my creative critical reflection for my film opening whoever gets him first. A question that is frequently asked is how my productions skills developed throughout the project. Well, when first researching this project me and my partner Dani look through many film openings such as mean girls, the Florida project, the perks of being a wallflower, and others. These were great films to go over because their genre is coming of age. We had to find out genre conventions, what type of music, font, color scheme and mood is needed to be use in this type of genre. I feel like one of the biggest things that really helped make this film's opening follow the genre was mise-en-scene. Mise-en-scene is basically the setting, costumes design, props, makeup, and lighting. We created a Pinterest board of characters in our film, so we really understood what they were going to wear and what their personalities were like. All these factors make the film come together. Me and Dani were confident in creating a film that would be good. We have done past projects in the past that tested our knowledge on shots, angles, editing, movement, and sound. So, we're prepared. We had major setbacks when my partner went to ecduor to get her wisdom teeth removed, although we worked even harder to not fall behind. From the start to the end, I think we got all the details down and really made this film opening come to life. Another question that is ask is How did I integrate technologies like softwares, hardware, and online in this project. Well when filming this project we only use an iphone 14 pro. Which at first might seem not the best thing to use. But it had great camera quality and went nicely when filming. That was great because we didnt have to use an high quality cameras that probably cost a lot We didn’t use anything for light much, natural light was the best thing to use for our film. The softwares we use for editing was a app call VN! My partner Dani actually found this app and it really has a lot of features and it was free! My partner Dani found out about it when filming our other projects in Aice media studies. There is one more technology that we use while making our film opening. It was the blogs! The blogs basically documented the entire process of us creating this film opening. I felt like the blogs made me a lot more organize and help motivate me to make this film opening the best it can be. Honestly couldn't have done this project without these blogs. Thats all I have for you today, once again I’m brianna gutierrez and Ill see you later.
