critical reflection/other stuff

Hello! So, today, I did a lot of filming with my three friends, and we got a lot done. Now the only shots I have to film are at my school, and then I am done with filming!! I will try to start editing what I already have because I have the majority of the shots I need for both trailers. In my last blog post about my critical reflection, I planned all of my responses to each question, and all of the research that I have done throughout my project on genre conventions, movie posters, coming-of-age films, and trailers will be used in my essay so the only thing I can really do besides actually writing the essay (which I can't do because I haven't finished production or post production) is plan the structure of my essay.

I think I want to start my essay by talking about my film and who and what it represents which would answer the questions: How do your products represent social groups or issues? Then, I would go on to discuss how my products engage with the audience or groups of people they represent, which would answer the question: How do your products engage with the audience? and then I would talk about the branding of my products which would answer this question: How do the elements of your production work together to create a sense of ‘branding’? Finally, I would discuss the research that went into my products and how the research contributed to all of the other aspects I discussed throughout the essay, answering the final question: How did your research inform your products and the way they use or challenge conventions?

With my structure and ideas all written out, I really don't know what else I can do to plan for my critical reflection. But, I do know that I can show you some stuff that I filmed today. So here are some shots that I took:

These are some of my favorite shots from today. I am going to start editing today so that hopefully by the end of spring break, the only thing I have to do is film some of the voiceovers for the trailers, finish filming the shots at school, and add in the clips that I film. Next week I will update you on my filming and my editing!! See you soon!
