CCR #2

  As already mentioned  I already made the whole script for the first video so here's the CCRs 1 and 2

Reporter:

Mario! Mario! Over here. Your new opening After Hours is getting a lot of attention. How does your product use or challenge conventions?

Director (you):

Well, my opening scene mostly follows conventions of teen party genre movies, but also plays a bit with them. In teen party genre movies, the opening scene usually shows the party. It’s loud, chaotic, and full of music. In my movie, I decided to play a bit with that convention. I opened the movie in a different way. I showed Luca waking up in his bedroom the day after the party. That makes the audience curious about what happened the night before. Then I used flashbacks to show some of the party scenes. I also used some editing techniques to make the audience see that the party was chaotic. I spoke about that in my blog. I wrote that I used the editing techniques to make the party scenes brighter in comparison to the bedroom scene. Another convention I used in my movie was showing communication between friends before the party. I used that convention in the movie when Luca received a message on the iPad asking him if he was going to the party. It was a good convention to use because that’s how teenagers communicate nowadays. I also tried to play a bit with conventions. In teen party genre movies, the opening scene usually shows the party. It doesn’t show what happened the night before. In my movie, the opening scene also doesn’t show the party. It only shows Luca waking up in his bedroom. That makes the audience curious about what happened the night before. 📸 Fan walks up

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

Director:

The opening grabs the audience’s attention through curiosity and tempo. The audience gets curious about what actually happened at the party by not being shown the party itself, but rather what happens after the party.

The editing helps with that too. I discussed in my blog that I would discuss editing, and I would cut the clips and make the brightness and sound higher to make the flashbacks look more vibrant compared to the bedroom scenes. That keeps the audience visually interested.

Sound design can help create immersion too. For instance, the sound effects of footsteps, the door creaking, and the music getting louder as they get closer to the house help create immersion in the scene.

If this were a media text in the real world, I think it would likely spread through streaming sites because the audience for this film would likely be teenagers and young adults. That is where they tend to watch coming-of-age films today.

I think promotion would likely happen through social media too because that is where they tend to spend most of their time. That could help create some buzz before the film comes out.

 thank you guys for watching the premiere.
