Hey everyone!! I've been thinking about different creative approaches for my CCR (Creative Critical Reflection) and I think I've found the perfect format. I'm going to structure it like those Genius lyric explanation videos. You know the ones where artists break down their own lyrics with those yellow highlight annotations? I feel like this would be a really cool way to analyze our film opening!!
For question #1 of the CCR (How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?), I can really dive into how our film opening uses sci-fi drama conventions while representing teenage depression. The planet isn't just a world ending threat, it's a metaphor for how Halley feels like her world is falling apart. In the Genius video format, I could highlight specific shots of the opening and explain how they represent her emotional state. Since we're blending sci-fi elements with this personal struggle, I'm challenging conventions by approaching depression in a visually engaging way rather than just through dialogue or traditional drama techniques. This approach would make the analysis way more engaging than just talking to the camera for 5 minutes, and it gives me a chance to really get into the symbolism of certain elements (such as the significance of each item she gets from the store).
Thats all from me for now, stay tuned for my next post about how I plan on responding to the second question in my CCR.
