Critical Reflection Questions

 1. How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues?

The music video was about a group of friends and how after a while 2 people in the group started dating and are happy together. This could challenge the idea that dating someone within a friend group is bad and can lead to problems. In the video, it shows that the 2 friends that started dating were happy and nothing bad was happening.

2. How does your product engage with audiences AND how would it be distributed as a real media text? 

People can relate to the music video because something similar might've happened to them before in their life. The part in the music video where one friend texts the rest of their friends and ask to hang out and then later they all are together and hanging out is something that most friend groups do nowadays.

3. How did your production skills develop throughout this project? 

This project helped me develop my filming skills since I was mainly filming most of the time. It also helped me open my mind more and help my creativity grow because I was the one who mainly came up with the story after they picked the song. Making a story for the song was a little hard but I managed to pull it off. So it helped me become more creative and better at making stories.

4. How did you integrate technologies-software, hardware and online-in this project?

For the project, I used a phone and a camera to record. I also used my phone to contact my teammates to schedule when we will film and what exactly I was going to do. I also did research for ideas and what to do for the storyboard. I also used software to help edit the project as needed.

  How do your products represent social groups or issues? My product represents social groups by showing how two guys just expected to go on a camping trip and everything to be okay just like most people. However on their trip they decided to go out and explore the area, this is when one of them mentions something he found when he did research on the area they were camping at. Jean (white shirt) mentions that during his research he found that a kid they once knew was reported missing after going into that forest, Riley then says he’s exaggerating. This could represent how friends will tease one another for being afraid of something they know and are afraid of which could lead to people not wanting to mention how they feel when they are talking about a certain thing. An issue our film can show is people not being cautious enough when they are out exploring an area they aren’t familiar with. One of them did research on the place but didn’t bother to tell his friend about his concer...

I Love Filming

  Okay, so filming isn't all serious business  - we had our fair share of laughs and mishaps today. From tripping over cords to accidentally scaring each other with our own props, it was definitely a day filled with unforgettable moments.  We even had a few unexpected visitors on set - a curious squirrel and a nosy neighbor who wandered into the frame at the most inconvenient times. But hey, it's all part of the fun, right? We embraced the chaos and turned it into comedy gold, capturing every hilarious moment on cameras.  Between takes, we goofed around and shared inside jokes, creating memories that we'll cherish long after the cameras stop rolling. It's moments like these that remind us why we love filmmaking - it's not just about the finished product, but the journey along the way.
