Creative Critical Reflection

  1.       How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues? I used conventions by using a typical scenario of someone working out. Typically, people are tired after a long day, and they don’t want to work out. My group and I used this to display our product to show how effective it is. This commercial represents social groups because the actors are very diverse. I'm White/Asian, and Billy is Black. I also represented the issue of not having the energy to get through an exercise. In todays society there are a lot of people who are unmotivated to work. In this commercial we introduce Beyond Raw lit to assist in this issue. This commercial mainly represents athletes and those who workout. How does your product engage with audiences AND how would it be distributed as a real media text? This product engages with the audience because a lot of people can relate to our commercial. I used an enactment of what it is like to work out, an

 Hey everyone! This is Hunter Pangia signing in and welcome back to another blog! This will be the final production blog for this project but we have accomplished so much. During the past few days we've uploaded the raw footage into a hard drive onto a computer. To do this all you have to do is take a USB drive, plug it into the camera and then plug into the computer.

The editing software we are using is Filmora. It is described as the "Best Video Editor." This editing software includes 4k editing support, over 800 stunning effects, and 85 million happy users.

 Hey everyone this is Hunter Pangia signing in and welcome back to another blog! We have made significant progress since the last time I blogged. Over the weekend, we were making final arrangements to film our commercial on 10/09/22. We were originally set to film in the early afternoon and everything was looking great. Robert however, unfortunately had to work at a museum from 11am to 5pm. Due to this we had to push our time to film to 6pm. This had many of us worried because we were unsure if we were going to have enough sunlight and time to film. On top of this the weather was forecasted to rain the entire day. On film day, majority of my group was unsure if they were going to come because of how bad the weather was. I was the first one to show up. I got to the beach by the basketball courts at approximately 5:12 pm. I made sure to bring all the props and the costume needed for Billy. The second person that arrived was Robert. Robert brought his Sony camera recorder, and a stand for

 Hey guys this is Hunter Pangia signing in and welcome back to another blog! Today's blog is production blog 1 and I am going to be saying what we have done. Tomorrow we don't have school due to Yom Kippur. Majority of the group is busy which has caused us to not film tomorrow. I have a doctor's appointment and other schoolwork to catch up on. Billy has lots of homework as well, additionally he would struggle to have a ride tomorrow anyways. Anayah has some personal things going on. Finally, Robert has work tomorrow at the food truck he works at. We do have everything planned out to record however. We have the camera we are going to record with which will most likely be an iPhone camera with a tripod. We do have the ability to use a professional camera but that is undecided depending on the weather. We also have all of our props in place. We have the dumbbells', the Beyond Raw pre-workout, and all the costumes that will be needed. Additionally we have the time set to be
