CCR Video 2 Script Q3 and Q4

          CCR Video 2 Script Q3 and Q4



-Script-

The camera has come to me, setting things up. 
 
Me- Oh, hi. My name is Carolina, setting up my sister 18 th birthday party. Oh, you have some questions about my film project. What are the questions?

Some will give me a paper. 

Me- Oh, How did your production skills develop throughout this project? And how did you integrate technologies – software, hardware, and online – in this project?

I go to another place to set up something also.

Me- For the first question. Entering AICE Media Studies with no prior experience, I have successfully gained a wide understanding of camera techniques, editing, and film concepts. Through hands-on projects like the Music Project, Mise-en-scène character assignment, and Foley Sound Project, I practiced these new skills while also getting useful feedback from my teacher and classmates. This growth is most shown in my final project, where I have improved my skill these areas to analyze production details and execute pre-production tasks like scripting, acting, and storyboarding, where i see which scenes it is.  Also, I see how my teammate Emma is executing every shot we need for our film, and I know how I will do this shot for my future projects.  Although editing remains a challenge, I have teamed up with my classmates, Emma, to do the editing, and Emma also has provided me with valuable technical tips and better workflows. I am very proud of the opening storyline for the film opening that we have developed in eight weeks, and I truly enjoyed the entire creative process, from research to filming.

Me- Oh come on, I have to set up something else.

Then I move to another place to set up something different.

Me- For the last question, the answer is - Our project began with a digital blog that served as both a procedural roadmap and a comprehensive archive for our research and planning. For the branding phase, we used Canva Pro (software) to design our company logo and the official poster for Static, with a strong focus on visual marketing. The production was captured on a Nikon T7(hardware), using its dual-lens system to achieve a high-quality, cinematic aesthetic with versatile zooming. During the post-production, our editor transitioned to Adobe Premiere Pro(Online), which allowed for precise control over color grading, sound design, and contrast adjustments. While the technical process involved steep learning curves and late-night tutorials, these struggles ultimately built my confidence in handling professional-grade tools. This seamless blend of hardware and software was essential in transforming our initial concepts into a polished, final production. Well, that's how I integrate technologies into the production process.
Then I stop setting up things.
 Me- this party looks great, and thank you for asking those questions. Come back if you have any more questions.

CCR production ideas

                 CCR production ideas



Today, I am going to talk about my ideas for my CCR production videos. I have two different ideas about it. 

          My first idea is an officer police who is a substitute for Officer Garcia. He would come in. Ask me (Avery), then he is going to froze and I am going to look at the camera and say that my name is not Avery, but I could answer the questions. Then I will get up and leave the room while answering the door. (It will be Officer Smith.)

My second idea is to finish setting up an 18th birthday party, which connects to our film because our character just turns 18 years old. I like answering the question while setting up the party. It is going to be a lot of moving.  I want to make sure that their will not that much more than other setup parties in real life.

Question #4 


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

Integration of technology: 

Answer: Using our blog posts to schedule and write the steps and procedures of our production progress. Within this being a grade, it forced us to use it not only as a resource but also to keep our research, planning, and findings for the production. For initial promotion efforts and creating a poster via Canva Pro. Using this app for editing and making our poster for Static, and creating the company logo. 

 For production and filming, we filmed on a Nikon T7, which was our director/cinematographer's personal camera. Nikon T7 has two lenses, and the smaller lens is more compatible for zooming in and out. Has excellent quality for filming and gives the overall outlook of a cinematic look. The camera allowed for easy accessibility, holding, and angling. For the process of editing, our editor utilized Adobe Premiere Pro. Adobe helped transfer all the footage smoothly, as well as familiarize our editors with the software. Adobe made it accessible to make changes to the color, sound, and contrast within certain footage.

CCR Video 1 Script Q1 and Q2

          CCR Video 1 Script Q1 and Q2



Script 

(Officer Smith(my dad) entered the room and went to sit down in the chair across from Avery Dawson (ME) )

Officer Smith - Hello, Avery Dawson. My name is Officer Smith. I am a substitute for Officer Garcia. I am here to ask you some questions.  
 
Short Pause
 
Officer Smith - Ok let's start. How does your product use or challenge conventions, and how does it represent social groups or issues? How does your product engage with audiences, and how would it be distributed as a real media text? 

(Then Officer Smith freezes, and then I look at the camera and start speaking)

Me- Hey, my name is not Avery Dawson, but I can answer this question. 

(I walk out of the room and start answering the question)

Me - For, how does my group's product use or challenge conventions, and how does it represent social groups or issues? For our film, Static a use traditional conventions and the established frameworks of the mystery and psychological horror genres, utilizing a carefully crafted establishing shot to build an immediate sense of unease. By drawing technical inspiration from classics like Hitchcock’s Vertigo, the production highlights tension and uncomfortable visual techniques to honor traditional cinematic conventions. While the genre elements remain classic or the same of a typical mystery film, the film’s representation of youth actively challenges modern media tropes. Instead of portraying teenagers as rebellious or party-driven misfits, the story centers on Avery, a reserved and introverted girl who avoids social media and fashion. This subversion of the "typical" teenager allows the film to explore gender and social norms through a more grounded lens. You can see this in the way that she dresses herself. Ultimately, Static places this non-stereotypical main character at the heart of a graphic murder mystery, blending traditional horror structure with an unconventional lead character.

Pause 

Me- Well, that is the first. Let's answer the last question, which is: How does your product engage with audiences, and how would it be distributed as a real media text? 


(I sit on my stairs)

Me - Well, By focusing on our target audience of primarily teens, and interests with mystery and thriller films captures their attention within the storyline of Static. Static centers on a teenage girl who is subjected to severe challenges, including murder and jail. The mystery and suspenseful aspects of the movie, especially attracting many viewers in this demographic group, are what draw in teenagers. In contrast to that, our distribution provider and marketing will focus on engaging and keeping up with the digital convergences that interest this specific audience. Like in A24, social media, and film festivals. A24, a company that welcomes and supports smaller directors and producers. With its distribution and marketing strategies, A24 is notable for attracting the attention of younger generations like Gen Z. The target group that Static also strives reaching is seen through their own personal websites and numerous social media profiles and influencers.Focuses on capturing the engagement within the interests and platforms that cater to our audience's preferences. 

Well, that's how we engage with our audience and how our product is distributed as a real media text.


Me- Well this are the answer for the questions that Officer Smith, or my dad, asked Avery Dawson. Thank you for watching.

       Research and script for CCR Question #3



Question #3:

How did your production skills develop throughout this project? 

Answer: Coming into AICE media studies, I had no experience whatsoever with any camera techniques, editing, or any film concept. This class has taught me all these things I have lacked, as well as learning a broader perspective on media as a whole. Working on many projects, such as the Music Project (Creating a Singer), Mise en scene character assignment, the Foley Sound Project, and quizzes and assignments on camera techniques, has helped me not only learn but also practice and work on these skills effectively. The necessary feedback from my teacher and my classmates in my class helped me learn and correct mistakes, as well as offer a new perspective on my work. 

With this being our final project with learning from these past projects I have improved in identifying key details and analyzing factors of adding details within the production. As well as developing and writing a script, storyboard, and drawing set design has greatly improved from my past projects. While I am not editing the production, as well as still struggling

 With editing, from a class friend, Emma Gonzalez, I have learned many tips and better ways to edit. Throughout this project, I am extremely happy with the entire concept and story line myself and team came up with during the course of 8 weeks. I enjoyed every moment from planning, filming, bloopers, researching, and watching the media. I'm surprised and grateful for the skills learned throughout the entire experience of this class.

Research and Script for CCR Question #2

   Research and Script for CCR Question #2


Question #2

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

Engagement:

Our target audiences are teenagers spanning from the ages of 14 to 18 years old. The film revolves around a teenage girl facing the extreme hardships of murder and jail. This film engages teens with the mystery and thriller elements of the film that captivate many audiences within this age range. With this audience as our target, it engages the audience themselves in the aspects of having the audience themselves be immersed in the story and events taking place. It ponders to the viewer what shall happen next? Evoking a sense of mystery, fear, and curiosity. With the pacing and visual aspects added within our film, its stars have all the necessary tools needed to capture our audience's attention. 





Distribution:

Distributing through A24, which accepts and is interested in smaller producers and directors. Their focus is drawn to talent and films that are unique and have meaning or a story behind the process of the piece. A24 is notable for capturing the interests of younger generations, such as Gen Z. With their marketing techniques and distribution. Through their own personal websites and many social media platforms influences and accounts help capture the exact target audience Static aims to reach. They could also use a film festival.  Therefore, making this distributor reliable and most suitable based on our interests and goals of who and where audiences will have access to our production.




Script:

While developing a script for my CCR, I have taken the answers to each question from my blogs, rephrased, and simplified the most important information. For example, the question discussed the conventions and representation within the production.  My plan is to break the script down into 3-4 sections for each question. Focusing on examples, references, and connections to Static. The goal, although my CCR will be presentation-based, is to showcase the answers and reasoning behind Static and my reflection. 

-The Script-

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

Answer: By focusing on our target audience of primarily teens and interests with the genres of mystery and thriller films captures their attention within the storyline of Static. In contrast to that, our distribution provider and marketing will focus on engaging and keeping up with the digital convergences that influence this specific audience. Like in A24, social media, and film festivals. Focuses on capturing the engagement within the interests and platforms that cater to our audience's preferences and familiarity.

Research for #1 question of CCR post

     Research for #1 question of CCR post

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

Our film Static uses the traditional conventions of mystery and psychological horror. Within our establishing shot developed the mysterious and eerie elements within the introduction to our production. From using old research on horror, mystery, and psychological horror films, set up the exact framework towards sticking to the necessary conventions of these genres. Our goal was never to challenge or go beyond the standard conventions of this framework. To instead use certain pieces that highlight this genre the best and incorporate them within our framework within our story. For example, I will discuss the Film Vertigo by Hitchcock. Notable for its uncomfortable shots and tension, it is displayed in the opening credit scene within the film. As a reference, we used the techniques and tone within the piece and incorporated similar and the same techniques within our footage for our own production. Without copying the techniques and display of Hitchcock's work, we kept it as inspiration towards our storyboard and shooting process of how within technique and visually stay and display these conventions. 


 
When it comes to the representation within our film, we challenge the normal social groups of teenage representation. Typically, within media, teenagers are perceived as misfits, rebellious, and misunderstood. Static challenges the stereotypical conventions of social representation of teenagers through our main character, Avery. Avery is reserved and seen as an introverted teen girl who isn't into makeup, fashion, or social media. She spends most of her free time at home and with her best friend raven. 

Typically, today's media portrays most teens socially revolving around alcohol, drugs, parties, and illegal/daredevil-like activities. Static challenges this in a non-stereotypical way of introducing an introverted teen girl who is tied to this unexpected and graphic murder of her best friend. Avery is our highlight not only as an introverted teen but also as a female, and challenges the gender norms in media.
