Reflection Blog

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

- It show the social group of athletes that they need to be equipped with the proper gear to play well. The product uses conventions by showing how well the athlete plays with the product on.


2. How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text? - We engaged with the audience by symbolizing the audience can be like that too by using the product. It can be distributed as real media text because the end scene has the words Be Better Than Your Excuses. 


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

- It taught how to properly capture specific angle while recording. It also allowed me to become familiar with editing. I learned how to find the right lighting for each scene.


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

- In the project we use an iphone to record the film. We also used Flipchamp as a editing device program because it was an easy software to work.

Re-edit

 Hey blog I’m back again. Today I am fixing some of the edits I made to the movie. We shot some new scenes and had to make some changes. One thing I changed in the edit is the music. The music we had before didn't really fit the theme of the movie. I found another song that fits the movie perfectly. This song is also copyright free. Second, we fixed some issues with titles. At first, the title seemed a little choppy. I wanted to clean it up a bit so that it looks clear and goes in smoothly. I also changed the title font to give it  a bolder look. Then I fixed the transition. Some of them looked a little choppy. I wanted to clean nonstop. Other than that, the editing went pretty well. I haven't done much myself. My friend Macken did most of the work. he's really good at it. He also has past experience. Glad he was able to fix it. It really made a great difference.

We will also have a car as prop because most music videos have cars in them. Our Most important prop will be the jewelry because it's a main convention of hiphop. Costumes  The actors will where skinny jeans and hats with sneakers. The outfits are used to signify hiphop culture. Since the artist is from New York, the actors will also wear coats to picture the NY drill scene. The actors will also where designer accessories to show off the flashiness of the outfit.

Group Blog: The squad

 Hey blog its Justin and I'm back with another blog. Today I'm going to talk about the group I'm in. We'll also be talking about why we chose the song we chose. The group consists of Jeremiah, Sebastian, Mackens, and I. We chose this group because we have many common interests. For example, we all like basketball which is big. Another big common interest between us is that we like video games. This allows us to easily socialize with each other. Since we all worked pretty well last time we decided to group up again. We also work very efficiently together which is why we are good together. We all have positive demeanors which helps us not have any conflicts. Because of this we have yet to have an argument. Since we like the way we work together we decided not to change anything in our group. We also didn't change our group because we already know how smooth our procedures run from previous experiences. The song we chose "Shake It" by Kay Flock. We chose this
