CCR PLANNING

 FIRST CCR POST:

A momentous occasion indeed... my first CCR post. And being honest, the first time I've even thought about the CCR since this project began! 

I did create a CCR a couple months back on another project:

This was a practice. But now it is the real deal which means I got to start planning.

First step: GO OVER WHAT CCR CONSISTS OF 

These are my detailed notes from our class lesson on the critical reflection (i am so happy it is an essay now and not two videos 🙏🏻🙏🏻)

Second Step: APPLY CURRENT PROJECT TO QUESTIONS OF CCR

FIRST QUESTION- Apply genre and research. Here I would discuss my research on documentaries, specially episodic documentaries and specifically ones that have a psychological approach to them. I could talk about how we did research on different documentary series like Ugly Delicious and also a documentary series on Youtube be that is psychological (seen in research blogs before). In addition, I then discuss how this research and research on conventions informed my decisions in what I made or chose to not include and why. So doing things like how I got influenced auditory and visually are what is being looked for.

SECOND QUESTION:

How do products engage with audiences? Here I would NEED to mention target audience and what the target audience is for the documentary. In addition, mentioning how my product engages with the specific target audience is the key. So for example, on social media if I post a trailer or clips of the documentary, I could talk about how my target audience engages with my product digitally. 

PROBLEMS- CONCERNS:

- My only questions regarding the CCR have to do with the last questions. For branding and question three, I feel like branding is such a vague word and I am afraid I won’t answer the question if “branding” sufficiently and accurately.

- Finally, for the last question, I am not sure if we actually have to do it. I think we do but I am confused on how to answer the question. It asks how does my product represent social groups or issues. I think my documentary represents social groups well, when relating to different people coming to one markham group, my whole doc is about community and groups. But, I don’t know what them being represented means exactly. I think I just have to continue to develop the branding and from there move to the next questions. If not, I will continue to discuss this with my sister or ask a friend :)
