In this CCR I'll be answering the questions in a simple video that I will be recording myself. I'll be answering questions one and two, my script is the following:
1. How does your product use or challenge conventions, and how does it represent social groups or issues?
My film opening mainly follows the conventions of a coming-of-age story rather than challenging them. Coming-of-age films usually focus on a young character going through an important moment that shows their struggle, growth, or search for identity. My opening uses typical conventions such as a teenage main character, emotional conflict, and visual techniques like close-up shots and dark lighting to show how the character is feeling. We chose not to challenge these conventions because we wanted the audience to easily recognize the genre and understand the story quickly. Since this is only the opening of the film, using familiar conventions helps the audience connect with the character and the situation right away. The film represents teenagers who are dealing with pressure, relationships, and the difficulties of growing up. It highlights how young people sometimes make risky or emotional decisions when they feel overwhelmed.
2. How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?
My film engages the audience by creating curiosity and emotional tension at the start. The viewer sees a teenager leaving their house in a rush, which makes them wonder what happened and where the character is going. The quick flashbacks and strong sound design help the audience understand that something important has led to this moment. This type of opening encourages the audience to keep watching to learn more about the character’s journey. If it were a real media product, it could be distributed through streaming platforms or short film festivals. It could also be promoted online through trailers and clips on social media to reach teenage audiences who often watch coming-of-age stories.
