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 transports the character. I worked with this idea and created the story of a hole in the wall that would make a tapping noise that the main character would have to investigate. After this it was easy to create the few missing details like the fairy village and wise tree.  The only idea I didn't include in my final film that was mentioned in my treatment was the inclusions of animals. This concluded how I came up with media video. 


Summary of my video 

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.

Media representations

1.  Media representations are studied through the portrayals of different social groups, such as age, social class, ethnicity, gender, sexuality and disability. I think this statement is about how through media studies movies are now able to better represent different social groups correctly. I feel that this stamen mentions how the representation of different cultures, ages,  social classes, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and disability has been improving due to  media studies. One movie that does a good job of showing the representation of another culture is "The woman king." This movie shows how a kingdom lived and survived even at the worst of times. We learn about their native dances, weaponry, clothing, and methods of healing. While this film does a good job representing this kingdom, I don't think all media accurately represent every social group it covers. I know this because I've seen multiple statements made on a specific social group that contradicts each ot

Critical Reflection Questions

   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
