It has been a long journey, but I am finally finished! I had such a fun time making the film opening and now these projects. This was a very eye-opening experience to the world of film making and media production that I couldn't have imagined.
CCR Question 1 - Get Ready With Me Makeup Video
How does your product use or challenge conventions, and how does it represent social groups or issues?
When deciding on ways to answer the CCR questions, I figured a Get Ready With Me makeup video would be a fun way for me to do it. I love watching makeup tutorials and GRWM videos, so the idea of me doing one of my own seemed like too interesting for me to pass up. Most GRWMs I've seen have people talking while doing their makeup, but I felt I wouldn't be able to focus on what I was doing or saying so I settled on doing a voiceover to answer the question.
CCR Question 2 - Magazine
For this question, I was at a loss for what to do, but then I remembered that answering the question as a magazine was an option. I had my answers typed out already and I had to just tweak it a little bit to sound like an interview. I was a little lost on how to do the actual page of the magazine and not just the cover, like I did with a previous assignment. It was interesting making the cover because I had an idea of what I wanted the cover image to be, the only issue was the details and different stories to include that I struggled a bit with.
CCR Question 3 - Director's Commentary
For this question, I had to do a bit of research of what the conventions of a director's commentary was and look at some examples. I struggled a bit with balancing the commentary with answering the questions, but I think I managed a healthy medium. I did not struggle with what to comment on because I feel like I was just restating events and topics from my production diary entries.
CCR Question 4 - Powerpoint Presentation
For this question, it was a bit of a last resort because I could not find any creative way to answer the last question. I ran out of creative ideas and remembered doing a PowerPoint presentation was an option. To do this I screen recorded going through the presentation and edited a voice over going through my answers and talking points. I have some regrets of not including images or making the presentation more colorful somehow.
It is so surreal that I am almost at the end of the year and I am finally finished with this project. At the beginning of this journey, I was so frightened by the thought of being on camera and embarrassed that my projects may be bad, but now at the end of this journey, I am so proud of myself and the hard work I put in and the dedication I had to this project. I've grown so much while working on this project and have stepped out of my comfort zone multiple times and I could not be prouder of myself! I hope you like my portfolio!
