CCR question #1

 So! CCR questions are already here. Honestly I didn't even know about this part of the project up until this week when our teacher talked a bit about how it was gonna go and usually I wouldn't like this too much but honestly it gives us a lot of creativity and I know we just got to do a whole opening for a film which is like ALL creativity, but this is kind of different. In this, you get to be yourself and talk about your experiences. Its like all the cool parts of an essay minus the writing!

Our teacher showed us some examples and one was based off this show where some interviewer knocks on the door of a celebrity and they ask a few questions. The bit is called "73 questions with Vouge" and one of my favorite episodes of this series is the one with Kim and Kanye back when they were together.(look at cite 1 in the bottom)

My first idea, which I think is hilarious is a sort of talk show(post the movie being in theaters and doing good) where  I get asked all these questions about the movie in a chair by another chair with another me in it, just with a mustache.(this is an example)

But all of this is a problem for another day, I have focused way too much on how its gonna be and not what I'm going to say.(sorry, I'm just a little excited)

So, time to lock in 

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

First thing I do with a question is break it down, so lets do that. Lets look for the "and" and look before it, now we only have to work with "How does your product use or challenge conventions"

Now an even better way, a simpler way, to put this is "How is your film use common or uncommon horror film techniques", or even better "Film different? How or how not?"

Now we need to look at techniques, I used cite 2(look at the bottom) and while reading through this, this is kind of exactly what our horror movie brings to the table. Dim lighting, low angle, Dutch shots, kind of like looking into a mirror. Now that doesn't mean its a bad thing, just not different and that's fine.

Now the second part, this part focuses on how does the movie have to do with social groups or issues, and I'd say that's simple enough to work on. So, main character, Leo, he is a teen and he is giving that depressed vibe. Now you don't have to search it up to know that teen depression has recently been on the up and up, but if you wanted to anyway, don't worry! I did it for you! 

Cite 3(look at bottom) gives some symptoms of teen depression and talks a bit about it and how it isn't super uncommon and what you should do. A top thing on that list is therapy, which we know Leo is in and all those symptoms like sadness, Leo's also got. might as well make him the poster boy for teen depression!

I'd say this covers that second part, mostly tackling the "issue" side of "represent social groups or issues" and makes that first question complete and gives me a break till probably Tuesday or Wednesday when I talk about the next one.
