Creative Critical Reflection Question 1
-How does your product use or challenge convection and how does it represent social groups or issues?

Our final film used convection, we conveyed convection in our shots. Here is an example, we shot an over-the-shoulder shot of Zack to show that he was in charge of the house. This shot shows that Zack has power and confidence. We used this technique because we wanted to symbolize that Zack had many responsibilities as a young adult. When I say responsibilities of a young adult I mean adults ages 18-23 that go to work every day and rely on a weekly pay check to pay bills, feed themselves and pay for other necessities. But when we speak of just responsibility we noticed it in a few films that we have viewed for research. We have seen this shot before in the "John Adams" episode we watched as a class. The over-the-shoulder shot that was portrayed in the "John Adams" showed that John was a leader and in-charge of his town. It also shows courage because he was the only one to go and help his people in the madness.  Our product also represents social groups and issues as young adults living day to day on one job and it can all fall apart when you get the call of being laidoff or fired. However in our case of the film Zack's problem was solved by spending a dollar on a 1 million dollar scratch off from publix changing his life.
