thinking about the CCR

 Today in class we learned about the creative critical reflection. My teacher told us all about what is expected of us for this portion of the portfolio project. Here’s a quick rundown of what we need to discuss:

The main purpose of this portion is to reflect on the production as a whole, that means planning, production and post-production. We have to respond to four different questions in whatever style we want. We can be as creative as we want, the only requirement is answering the questions. Wait, but what are the questions?

That’s a good question (hehe). The first question is about genre convention and the research that we did on our genre and how we used those conventions in our own project. The next one is all about audience and how we could possibly distribute our film if given the change. Then we have to discuss what production skills we developed while working on this project. And finally, how we used different technologies to aid us through the process. My teacher told us how we should respond to these questions and how to make our CCR’s as effective as possible. Here are my notes from what she told us. 

So what I need to think about now is how I want to actually answer these questions (and of course what I want to talk about). It’s supposed to be creative, which is not something I’m that good at, but we did look at some examples in class today. One person did their CCR in the form of an interview, almost like a talk show. Another person did theirs based on a popular trend. Overall, though, they all took creative turns on their reflection. Now, I just need to think about what I want to do with their part of the project and get to working on a script to actually answer the questions.
