As my group finalizes planning, I'm keeping the Creative Critical Reflection (CCR) question in mind: "How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?" To answer this, I'm planning to create a video that breaks down the key elements of my film. Since I am the director, I think it would be effective to format the video like an interview, much like how the director of Wicked (2024) talks about representation and his creative approach. (See video below)
In a previous blog post, "Representation in Film," I explored how our film represents important social issues, such as mental health and digital/online safety. I plan to use this post to help me address how our film represents these issues in the CCR.
For the first part of the question, our film both uses and challenges conventions. Our film will use conventions typical of a drama film, such as dramatic music, relatable characters, and an abrupt switch in tone. However, our film is also considered a mystery, though it challenges some of the typical conventions of that drama. Unlike many mystery films that focus on solving the puzzle, if continued our film would take a slightly different approach, choosing to explore the emotional and psychological aspects rather than the mystery's resolution.
