CCR Notes

    Hey Blog!! A few days ago our teacher gave us a much needed lecture on the Creative Critical Reflection portion of our project. She thoroughly cleared up many of the concerns that my class and I had. Some of those concerns that I personally had included: 

-What is the purpose of the CCR?

-What are we answering?

-How do we answer it?

    To answer these in order, the purpose of the CCR portion is to reflect on the production of my opening, respond to the four questions and to express my personality. Which leads me to the answer of the next concern I had. The four questions asks how my opening challenges conventions and social groups, how my opening engages with the audience/ distribution methods, how my personal skills on production developed through the course of the project and finally how I integrated technology into my production.

    How I am going to approach these questions is something that I must plan for. With that being said, I have some very early and broad ideas. Due to the fact that we are required to use two different media products, I have to be creative in what I choose to do. Something like one of my parents interviewing me in a podcast like setting would be a good concept, but it is important to incorporate images and videos/ graphics in general to break up the presentation. I think that combining two of the questions together in one segment of a product is something I will tackle when I get to the CCR. Here are the notes I took in class!

 

    Before the CCR however, I must finish filming and editing my opening well before the end of our spring break (30th) and take the CCR very seriously as it is worth 20/50 overall points. This project has not been the easiest for me and unfortunately it came with a rough patch in my life, but there are no excuses in life and I am going to try my hardest to continue pumping out blog posts for you all and getting on track in order to succeed. I intend on creating my finalized script tomorrow, so expect a blog post on that coming up, as well as some mise en scene elements that are vital to my opening!
