Question 1 Creative Critical Reflection Draft

1. How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?

My film product uses conventions by following the typical course of a film, from beginning to end in chronological order.I used my setting and costumes to give the film a sense of realism. I utilized camera movements and angles that are typical to other films. The plot of my film is along the lines of today's movie conventions. It follows a regular plot line that goes in chronological order and is real to life. The audio used in my film also uses media conventions. The credits I use in the beginning of my film follow the typical film convention use of credits. Other movies/films that have similar credits in the beginning are James Bond Skyfall.

My film mostly represents the younger age group, those in their teenage years, but also those who are able to drive. The film specifically targets young drivers who are more likely to get easily distracted while driving, similarly to the main character in my film, who displays bad driving techniques throughout the opening scene. The film also showcases the issue of reckless driving amongst young drivers through comedy/humor. For example one bad driving habit the main character displays is going on her phone while driving, which is a common topic among what young drivers should not do currently.
