Critical Reflection Questions

Image
   Critical reflection PowerPoint   I created this PowerPoint by using inf ormation from previous assignment questions. In my final PowerPoint I answered questions about conventions, social group or issues, audience engagements, how my production skills developed, and how I integrated technologies in my video production.   In my PowerPoint   I   included  information on all these questions along with picture of my video. While creating this PowerPoint  I  did encounter a few problems. The first problem I had was with my PowerPoint  system. Once I  had all the information into the  PowerPoint  I the needed to record a voice over per the instructions. Unfortunately,  when I  went to record my voiceover,   I   realized  I didn't  have the record button. The record button is usually in the top right of the screen but for some reason it wasn't  these. To overcome this,  I recorded my voiceover as a separate video. The second problem I encountered was trying to find a way to add the

Video summary One day Chloe (the human) starts to hear some strange   tapping. Wondering where it is coming from, she explores her house. She realizes the tapping is coming from inside the wall and finds a little hole where she sees a strange light. Chloe gathers up her courage and decides to investigate the hole. The more Chloe looks at the hole the more she is drawn to it . She realizes the world she is looking at is different from her own then suddenly, WOOSH! Chloe gets transported into the strange world. She explores the  beautiful world she is in and all its flowers and animals. Then she realizes she needs to find a way home and starts to search for the hole. On her way a  little fantasy creature named Ava pops out of nowhere and offers  to help Chloe return home .   Overall, I think my video is good. The only thing I would change about my video is adding more adventure scene and better voiceovers. Other than that, I hope you enjoy watching my video.  Here is the link fo

Media distribution

What 3 forms of advertisement would you use to promote your video? Why would you use these forms of advertisement?  1) The first type of advertisement I would use is digital advertising. I would use this form of advertisement because it allows me to share my film with its intended audience since most of the world's youth is on the internet. The second type of advertisement I would use is broadcast advertising. I would use this type of advertising because the average person spends 7 hours a day watching T.V. The third type of advertising I would use is product/brand integration, the reason for this is because I can use brands like YouTube show and promote my video. This advertisement also allows me to direct viewers directly to my video since my video is published on the same platform.  Name at least 3 ways you would distribute the advertisement and final video. Explain how and why for each of the ways you would distribute.  2)  The first way I would distribute advertisements for my

Audience Engagement

Who is your intended audience?  1) The intended audience for my media video is kids and teenagers. The reason for this is because my video is about fantasy and mythical creature, which is something that kids enjoy watching.  The main character is also a teen, which allows teens to visualize themselves in the main characters place. This is why my target audience in kids and teens.  Does your video represent social groups or issues?  2) My video represents a teenage social group; this is due to the fact the main character is a teen. My media video also represents teen social groups because the film follows the actions and thoughts of a teen.  Does your video intro share a story that others may relate to? How?  3) Yes, my film does share a story that others may relate to because its common to have had dreams of fantasy's or adventuring to a new and strange world. Dreams of fantasy worlds are a way to escape the boring regular world, this is why other can relate when it comes to my med

Characters or no characters

 Character (#1 )  Chloe Chloe is the protagonist of the film, and her role is to tell the story of how she was transported to another world. Chloe at first is wearing a simple short and leggings. This outfit is essential to telling the story since she needs do wear normal clothes. After Chloe is transported to the new world her outfit changes to a long sleeve shirt sweatpants and warm shoes. This change can help us determine that this strange world might be colder than normal which is why we see Chloe wearing warmer clothes.  Here is a picture of both outfits Chloe wears in the film. I chose this actor because I believe she is the best at acting out different sense, I also think the expressions she makes is fun and enjoyable to watch.  This actor is suitable for this genre and audience because she moves and expressions are funny and unusual. This is why I think she is perfect to act in fantasy film that is targeted to a younger audience. The only change I made to my film that wasn’t in

Plot & Story

How I created my film    The first step I took to creating my media project was picking a genre. I thought about what type of genre I would enjoy filming the most. I enjoy watching fantasy movies, so the idea of creating one popped in my heard.  After considering my options I ultimately decided to create a fantasy film. I considered what should my story be about. I came up with the idea of a girl traveling to a fantasy world and needing to find a way back home. I would later call this girl Chloe. I wanted Chloe to go on some adventures while she was there, but I ultimately decided to scrap that idea since my video could only be 2 minutes long. I thought to include a new character that would help the protagonist though her journey, this is where the character Ava (the fairy) came from. After creating my characters, I needed to find a way for Chloe to get transported to the new world. One of my friends gave me the idea of a hole that when you look through it, it becomes a portal that tra
