Production Blog Peer Review FT

 The project was over, and my group and I thought there was nothing else to do. Until we realized it would be best to get some people to look at our project. My groupmates and I realized it would be best to send it to our peers taking the class and see what they thought. If the feedback was poor, then we would have to make some changes, but if it was good, my groupmates and I could confidently proceed with our project. Everyone in the group sent the video to different people. Dylan sent it to his A level friends, I sent it to some of my other class friends, Carson showed it to his girlfriend, and Ben showed it to some people in another media studies class period. I received my feedback over text, and was proud to see it was all mostly good. There was some constructive criticism however, and I found that it did help us catch some things I may not have been able to catch due to watching the project so much. One thing that one of them mentioned was the volume of the dialogue. They said that at times it could be too low and hard to make out what the character was saying. I took a listen to the dialogue and found that they were right! At times, it was hard to hear the characters' voices. So, while there was still time, I told my group mates and went and fixed the problem. Another piece of constructive criticism they had was the brightness of the project. They said that the project was too dark and at times it was hard to make out what was happening. While I didn’t take their criticism into account, I was not going to do anything to change it. I thought the same thing when watching “US” for my research blogs. It wasn't until later when i realized the darker brightness of the movie made it so much more thrilling and suspenseful. They had some more criticisms, so I knew we would have to act on them and make our project better. I let my group know and we got to work shortly after.

Production Blog Editing Software CapCut FT

In the past, my group and I have always used Cap Cut as our main source of editing. When it came time to start editing, we knew we were going to use Cap Cut . There had been a problem when we first started, however, as I've mentioned in past blogs . The US was going to ban Cap Cut , and they did. Use of Cap Cut in America was banned for around a week which frightened my group. Luckily, we still had not begun editing, so this was not a stopping point. My group and I just chose to use Cap Cut because it is the easiest and most diverse software there is for free . For one, the software's import and export features made it super easy to put in the clips and audio we needed. For the clips, all we had to do was drag the files from our File Explorer into the app. The clips were then put into CapCuts “library ”, And we're made easy to browse through. The same process happened with the audio. We would import it using MP3 from whatever website we found the copyright free a...

CCR Commercial

  Creative Critical Reflection   How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues?   T he product which I used, Powerade, followed most of the traditional conventions of its past commercials, but also made sure to challenge some of them. The norm for the conventions for a sports drink commercial like P owerade would be fast jump cuts, inspirational music, quick paced movements, and sweating. While my group and I’s commercial does follow most  of the conventions, it also challenges some and goes against the grain of normal conventions of a sports drink commercial . The commercial did not include inspirational music, instead it used pop music from popular artist Bon Jovi ; it also did not put emphasis on the color of the Powerade drink like other commerc ials do .   My commercial did use jump cuts, an d sweating, and showed athletic movements, which did follow th e norm for the conventions , making...
