Reflection

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

Our product challenges conventions due to me (the main actor), being of a specific descent, Native American. In the film industry it is not common for actors of Native American descent to achieve social representation.


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

Our product engages with the audience by using an actor that would be relatable for the main audience as the age groups are compatible. Our product would be distributed as real media text through online ads.


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

Before I started this project I was completely oblivious to anything in the production aspect. While filming, acting, and editing throughout this project I was constantly learning new things.


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

I integrated technology through a blog. The blog was used to document the whole process.

In our film, the male stalker, portrayed by me, stands in for the stereotypical predatory male, highlighting the risks associated with toxic masculinity and the objectification of women. Through a realistic and sympathetic portrayal...

Pitch B: "A professional soccer player joins a new team, but the coach is nothing like he expected." Yes?No?-(Pitch A):  As the lead actor of our upcoming short film, I am thrilled to share a pitch for the intense narrative that will unfold in our possible project , "In the Shadows." The story revolves around a 16-year-old high school girl, portrayed by our friend Sarah, who embarks on a seemingly ordinary trip to a corner store for snacks. The atmosphere quickly takes a chilling turn as Sarah's character becomes the unsuspecting target of a sinister kidnapper, played by me, Brayden, her real-life close friend. The juxtaposition of our genuine friendship against the backdrop of an intense, sus...
