Planning for CCR Production

Planning for CCR Production

CCR is a major part of the portfolio project, and we have to answer a total of 4 questions. I have decided to take my teachers' recommendations: answers #1 and #2 in production, and #3 and #4 in another production. Now there are many types of productions I can do. So, for #1 and #2, I choose to do a director's commentary. I will play clips from my opening and voiceover explaining why we chose those techniques. The first question will be “How does your product use or challenge conventions, and how does it represent social groups or issues?” I will answer by discussing moments in the film where we used genre conventions, such as angles, lighting, and sound, and by explaining how the characters/situation represent social groups. “How does your product engage with audiences, and how would it be distributed as a real media text?” I will answer this by discussing how elements such as suspense, music, and pacing can grab the audience's attention.

Using a director's commentary allows me to connect my explanations directly to the scenes, so the audience can see exactly what I am talking about as I explain my decisions.

For questions #3 and #4, I will be doing a slideshow presentation. I will divide each question into several slides to be answered: "How did your production skills develop throughout this proj
ect?" In the slides, I will show the progress of my project over time, including images from planning, such as the storyboard, and contrast them with the final project. Then with the next question, "How did you integrate technologies – software, hardware, and online – into this project?" I will show images of our camera setup and tripod placement. I will also include screenshots of the editing software.

 

I plan to use Canva to create this presentation, as I have plenty of experience with it and it allows for full creative freedom.
