Creative Critical Reflection Question 1
-How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?
Our final film used
convention, we conveyed convection in our shots. Our opening scene starts off
with an establishing shot as we viewed in our research in Ferris Buellers Day
Off this would give the setting and time of day. We also 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, running into problems such as car breaking down, being evicted or even
getting the call from their boss that they are fired. However in our case of
the film a seemingly bad day changes for the good when Zack spends his last
dollar on Publix 1 Million dollar scratch off that changes his life.
