CCR Research #1

 Since we have finished over half of our portfolio project, we need to think about the CCR. The project's Creative Critical Reflection aspect is known as the CCR. We have to respond to four different questions in two separate digital forms for the CCR. A podcast, talk show, director commentary, or any other creative medium could be one of them.

Today I am going to be talking about question #1.

How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?

For this question it is important to:

• Discuss genre conventions
• Citing is always very important. Wherever you found your information. YOU NEED TO CITE YOUR SOURCE!!!!
• Discuss if you chose to challenge the conventions or not.
• Discuss if you chose to challenge the conventions or not.
• Thoroughly explain your decision on why and how you chose to challenge these conventions.

• End with representation.
• How do these conventions represent the social groups or issues.

For the CCR my is to do a TikTok interview having my partner help me film. She will be like "today we are going around asking people what they have been up too", I am running or jogging se comes up and ask me "what have I been up to" then I start talking about my project. I haven't developed a full response to this question, but this is a rough draft:

Our film opening plays with the usual genre rules. First, we set a calm mood ocean sounds, that sort of thing. Then we switch to a digital camera for the beach scene, which gives off that “memory” or “flashback” vibe. Instead of going for the classic horror move with a creepy ghost, we made the younger sister look almost holy, kind of faded. That puts the focus on the connection between the sisters, not just the fear.

This whole setup dives into grief and loss. You see the older sister caught between her happy memories and what’s actually happening now. At the end, when the friend talks to the sister, it hits a nerve losing someone can make you feel cut off from everyone else. It really shines a light on how losing a loved one messes with your mental health.
