Critical Creative Reflection

 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CLAMF5Gl6TEReNmtbRpeD90P3fJL99GiqP5FIz__wd0/edit?usp=sharing How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues? How does your product engage with audiences AND how would it be distributed as a real media text? How did your production skills develop throughout this project? How did you integrate technologies – software, hardware and online – in this project? The conventions that I did was different from the genre and I did something else. In the research blog, the video that I did was someone dancing and effects popping up in the video while he was dancing. There was also camera angles and lighting changes that were in the research blog video that I did not use in my video. I didn’t use them because it didn’t really fit in with the atmosphere my video was. The research blog conventions video was a different song and a different genre of what my video was on. The only conventions that were used wa...

Production Blog: Upload

 Hello Blog. We finally finished our video. It took a lot of time to work on. It finally worked out in the end. We fixed the flaws in our video. We showed improvement from the first time. The video came our perfectly. My groupmate added the text that was needed. We were confused before. But now we can understand our video. I am having struggles uploading. I asked my friends to assist. They are at their extracurricular activities right now. I will ask them after. It says an error code when i try to upload. It keeps saying upload failed. I will watch some videos to assist me. I asked my teacher in class but I forgot what she told me to do. Some people in class might've heard her so i'm going to ask them. She said to try a website called Vimeo. I will try that later.

Production Blog: Timing

Image
 Hello blog. We have advanced greatly. The editor fixed their phone. They fixed the flaws in our video. Our video is better than before. I suggested to add text to the video. It turned out good. We still have more things to work on. Hopefully we finish in time. The wifi connection has been going slow. It has been happening at school. We can work at home. The thing is, we have activities after school to do. We can meet up during study hall. It can be used as time to work together. Or, we can meet up on weekends. I; going to Miami this weekend so we cannot meet up. We have to find a time that is convenient for everyone. It is hard to do that with our busy schedules. Hopefully we find a date to meet up to finish everything on time.

Production Blog: Setback

Image
 Hello Blog. We have come to a setback. The person editing the video's phone broke. It is delaying us in the video. We wanted to finish early. We're going to have to wait until her phone gets repaired. She tried to recover her editing account on her computer. She couldn't recover it. I attempted to edit the video. It did not come out well. Our other groupmate tried. She also failed. We might plan another date to meet up and film. We need to film more parts of the videos. They aren't that clear. We have to do it soon. We need to perfect everything because the due date is coming closer. I'm going on a flight next week. Our video needs a picture of an airport. We need it so the audience knows that the person is catching a flight. I'm going to take a picture at the airport. It'll be of the screens that show where the flights are going to.

Production Blog: Almost Complete

 Hello Blog. Every day that goes by, we get closer to finishing our video. Last weekend we filmed. It was fun to film the video. We have new ideas we want to add. We went to Ludji's house and used her brother. I met him and he liked me. I had to use her brother as an extra person in the video. We did not have enough people. In one scene, we had to show someone driving out. We had to ask Ludji's dad if we could use his car. He allowed us to. We stayed there most of the day filming. The editor in our group worked there too. She edited the video which took a while. Our video isn't done yet, but we are getting there. I asked my classmates for feedback. They gave us tips on what to do or add to the video. We will be using those tips to make our video better. We will fix things so the story is portrayed clearer. We want to make sure that when someone sees the video, they don't have to ask us to clarify anything. Overall, things has been going smoothly, but we have things to i...

Production blog: Progression

 Hello Blog. We decided when we are going to film. It will be on Saturday. We spoke on the process. We used the storyboard paper to help. We will ask Ludji's parents for assistance also. We will film on an iphone. We want the most quality that there is. I have to practice how to lip sync. That is what I'll be doing in the video. We will decide if I have to dress up. It depends on the setting of the video. It also depends on what we do in the video. I might get a haircut before the video. I will do this to look nice. I will be editing the video. I have to get familiar with the editing platform. I will use my computer. I'll also talk with my teammates and give them feedback on things. We are progressing good right now. I am contributing in a good way.
