Hi blog! For the Creative Critical Reflection, I was instantly excited because I knew what I knew I wanted to do the second I heard we got to be creative about our choice of presenting the information. I have always been a fan of the YouTube "Web's Most Searched Questions" by WIRED, and I had the idea to recreate one for one of my videos that I submit. The first question of the CCR is "How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?" which means that it is related to the genre and representation of our project.
In it, I will discuss how our story is based on the queer community, as all of our actors and production team are members of it, so we wanted to express that in the story, as well as how they come from different backgrounds, specifically Sam being from a Latin country, etc. We will also discuss the genre typically involving love interests, which we did use in our project, however we did not explicitly assign Kai a gender, so that could be a unique factor, as it is very rare to see a mainstream coming of age film connecting to the LGBTQ+ community. We also decided to steer away from having an objectively bad character, as Kai may be the antagonist, but we plan to humanize him later on in the film, and don't want the story to feel like any other coming of age film. I will also discuss how my story represents bullying, stereotypes, self discovery, and abusive relationships. I plan to do my own spin on the autocomplete interview, and I have been brainstorming ways how.
Although that is a brief overview of what I plan to so with my first question of the CCR, I will upload my script for it later next week once I have finished filming, because as of right now, due to STN and several problems occurring, I do not feel that I can thoroughly answer the question with so much of the filming and official plot that we go with on production day still in the air.
Here is an example of a WIRED video of Josh Hutcherson answering the "Web's Most Searched Questions" that I enjoyed and will take inspiration from when I film my own for the CCR to answer questions 1 and 2.
