CCR Basics

    Today in class, my AICE Media Studies teacher, Ms. Stoklosa, started explaining how the CCR part of the project would work. Early on, when we were first introduced into this project, we were given limited instructions of the CCR. CCR stands for Creative Critical Reflection. For this final part of the project, we will have to use digital mediums to create a way to present and reflect the entire process of planning, production and final product. We are given 4 questions to respond uniquely and personally about this project. 

-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?

   Through the usage of 2 different mediums, we will have to discuss and reflect on most aspects of creating the film opening. Here are some topics I will be going into:

- Genre Characteristics

- Representation

- Target Audience Engagement

- Distribution Plan

- Research, Planning, Production, Post-Production

- Hardware and Software used

    At the end of the CCR, I will do my final statement, where I will talk about what I learned during the project, what I would have done differently and how I can improve my skills and future projects. Some tips we were given were to create a script, keep both media products under a total of 10 minutes, be creative, and incorporate research and citations.
