Hello!! We have finally reached the point in our project where we are beginning to work on our Creative Critical Reflection. I can't believe that we are getting so close to the end of out project, it felt like just yesterday we were getting the instructions to this project. Time really does fly when you're having fun!!
Anyway, I was brainstorming my ideas on what I wanted to do for my CCR, and I have dwindled them down to the ideas I'm going to do. For the questions "How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?" and "How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?", there is a trend on YouTube where celebrities are answer the web's most searched questions through the news outlet Wired.
For this, I'm going to have to create a cardboard and cut out the Google logo and the search bar. I think that the making of this board will be frankly easy. To accomplish the peeling of the paper to reveal the question, I am going to lightly glue on a strip of paper to mimic the same motion. Here's an example of it!

Here's my script for the first question!
Elke: Hi I'm Elke Gomez and today I will be answering the web's most searched questions! I'm really excited to be here and I'm so honored I was asked to come on today. So lets just jump right in!" "So our film is a coming-of-age that is geared toward teenagers! Like every other coming-of-age movie, it shares the same characteristics, such as our main character going through some type of personal growth. Our main character, Jordyn, faces the emotions of losing a friend and realizing that friendship is more important than other superficial stuff. I personally relate a lot with Jordyn and her behaviours, and this aspect really led to better characterization since Mariana, Isabella, and I knew how to make her like a real teenage girl. This leads to more empathy towards her character since I'm sure that our audience will also be able to relate with Jordyn. One thing that we did really have issues with was trying to avoid the stereotypical portrayal of teenagers in media, because we didn't want her to seem annoying or "chronically online", and we definitely didn't want her to be using abbreviations in real life conversations, because in reality, that's just not something that teenagers do. It was really important for us to make sure that Jordyn and Amelia's characters were realistic, and I think we did a good job at that. When writing our script, we were really worried that the dialogue would be cringey, but I think that it turned out okay. We also made sure to tell our actors to feel free to change up the script a little bit to make it more realistic, which I think helped elevate our film.
Hello again! Future Elke here. I made the board! It wasn't as hard as I expected, thankfully.
I cut up a piece of cardboard around the size that I wanted, and I glued on white sheets of construction paper. Then, I edited a Google search bar on Canva, and it looks really good! The biggest issue I had was printing out the right size of the papers, but it all worked out.
I'm really happy with how it turned out!
