CCR- Commercial

 

Creative Critical Reflection

  • How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues? 
-My product was a commercial for KISS cosmetics. From mascara to nails, I was able to present beauty products for any generation to use to enhance their beauty. These types of commercials can be uplifting as well as down putting to viewers. In modern times, society has built women to love makeup. Many use it to hide their insecurities rather than embrace their flaws and use makeup as an art. But what about those who don’t use makeup? They are seen as unladylike or lazy and are immediately declared as a tomboy. Then for men, if they wear makeup, they are instantly labeled as gay instead of society just accepting makeup as an art. Overall, this product can inspire yet destroy societal beliefs. 
  • How does your product engage with audiences AND how would it be distributed as a real media text?
-My product would be distributed as an ad on Instagram and YouTube. With most of my targeted generations on those social platforms, I would have my product displayed there. The age range for my product is around 14 to mid 50s and I feel that those two places are where most attention is today. Also, of course, my product would have its own commercials on cable television. I would cast them on channels like FOX, TeenNick, Freeform, and other channels that families would watch.  
  • How did your production skills develop throughout this project? 
-Throughout this project, I came to realize how well it challenged my skills as a director, producer, and editor. From the first project to now, I could see a few improvements in my skill. In this process, I was able to create smoother edits and work smarter when it came to shortening the clips I filmed. I was able determine what I felt was most important to put in the final product. This project really tested my prioritizing skills. 
  • How did you integrate technologies – software, hardware and online – in this project? 
-Since I was not the most skilled when it came to using iMovie, I used photo editing apps like PicsArt and PicCollage to find transitions and textual effects I could use for the production. I also used the Paint software on my PC to sketch out my storyboard before putting it onto paper. The internet was simply used for research purposes. This took part in how I would deliver the slogan and the structure of the commercial.

Filming Blog        As mentioned in earlier blogs, filming took place inside my home. Filming took place on Tuesday, November 3, 2020. I knew that since I was the only one in the commercial, it would be simpler to finish. That also came with its disadvantages though. For certain shots, specifically in the 1 st , 2 nd , and 7 th scenes, I needed someone else to hold the camera since I was the subject of the film. However, somehow, I made it work perfectly by sing objects around my house like shelves or chairs with wheels. The main difficulty I had was quiet on set. My dog continuously would bark or squeak his chew toy. I resulted to closing multiple doors to drown out his noises and keep him in one place for the small duration of time. Another mild difficulty I had was lighting. There were times where the brightness would be too high on the camera so it would not be compatible with the lighting of the room, or the lighting was so low that it made the camera quality worse. I had to se

   My name is Bremari Henry. I am a 16-year-old in the eleventh grade. Within the previous years, I have learned a couple things about myself. I am a fast learner, and I also work very well when it comes to group work or communicating with others. I signed up for digital media because I always wanted to explore every aspect of art, whether it was music, dance, drawing (digitally or on paper), or design. Even though I was put into AICE Media, it is still a start into exploring a form of art, which is film. Emotions or intentions can be captured by the directorial choices in a film. I think it would do my imagination some good since I have quite a wide range of it.    This comes into play when I participate in the clubs I attend around school. I happen to be Vice President  of AMIE, a club about unity and normalizing touchy subjects that you would not necessarily want to talk about with your parents or guardians in general.  I also attend FCCLA where we learn skills in hospitality. I do

CCR- Music Video Project

  Creative Critical Reflection How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues?  - My product is a music video to "Six Feet Apart" by Alec Benjamin. My product breaks the conventions of a pop music video. Most pop videos have a lot of color in them, representing happiness and cheer. I think this video disbands that idea. People in society start to feel anxious and panicked when everyone nut the is happy. This can severely damage a person physically and mentally. 2. How does your product engage with audiences AND how would it be distributed as a real media text?     -My product would be distributed through YouTube or Instagram IGTV. I would aim it for audiences who can relate. Sometimes, it is hard to be alone. Whether it is you feel worthless or paranoid or even overwhelmed by the silence. My goal is to make all of those people feel seen.   3.       How did your production skills develop throughout this project
