Production Blog: Gathering materials and such

This past weekend, we had began gathering materials and props for the Final Task. To gather materials, we had to consider what might be relative to the story. So, since we know that the story involves a mental dilemma, we had decided to get some things that may be able to signify this. Whilst brainstorming, Lucas had immediately thought of acquiring a keychain to signify the presence of the imaginary friend. I thought this was a good idea because we could use this in symbolism of the imaginary friend even after it is revealed that he is non-exisitant. I immediately suggested to bring a keychain as it would be a perfect 'small item' for our imaginary friend. I wanted a 'small item' with great significance as it would be a perfect spot to include a degree of literature. Another reason I decided to suggest this is because it would clarify that the best friend was imaginary in case there was confusion from the audience. Furthermore, I needed to help my group pinpoint an exact location for our short film. I already knew the general area, but we decided to go to my groupmate's grandpa's house as he lived by the sea. I saw some pictures of it and it seemed to be a great choice. In fact, the choice was considered exceedingly valid by my peers and I. One more thing I had to think about was the costumes for our movie. However, this was quickly debunked as I knew that we would probably just have casual attire. Despite this, I suggested that the imaginary friend have a strange quirk about their outfit as a slight foreshadow to the impending twist. I also suggested to include a random shot of a schizophrenia book (an insert) in order to add further foreshadowing, which we quickly edited into our storyboard.

Critical Reflection

How do your products represent social groups or issues?     Our product illustrates how social groups are represented by presenting two guys of younger age and lower socioeconomic status who take on a camping trip. As soon as they finish setting up the campsite, they decide to explore the surrounding area of the campground, while doing so, Jean (white shirt) brings up a story of a person who had gone missing while exploring the same parts which he had read online. Riley responds that Jean is being ridiculous. Jean then further elaborates that the missing person was a child they once knew. Social groups are represented in the film as camping as a vacation is representative of a person who is young and of a lower socioeconomic class, which defines the two boys. The social issue of kidnappings or missing persons is also represented as young people are common victims to kidnappings and that missing persons reports garner very little attention in news media which explains...

Group Blog

 For an assigned group project, I was given the task to figure out who to choose as a group member for my group. I had many options on how many people I wanted in a group and I chose to have 1 other person in my group, as it reduces confliction and we can always recruit more actors. It is worth telling you that this is a project to simulate the production of a commercial for a chosen brand. I had many choices for who I would group up with. My original choice was to group up with a different friend but he was already in a group of 5, which seemed like too much to handle. I eventually chose my old friend Lucas. He has many notable specialties in production that work out perfectly for the group. Lucas and I have known each other since middle school. During middle school, we worked on a couple assignments together, so this is nothing new or uncomfortable. Lucas has positive energy and is very hardworking as well as productive. So, after realizing Lucas' background with me and with acad...
