Project Selection- Film

I found the aspects of film production to be intriguing by studying the production of Ferris Bueller's Day Off. By understanding the steps they had to take and the struggles they faced, I had a better perspective on the world of film making. I think the film project would be a good fit for me because I enjoy creating and producing. I also enjoy collaborating with a team and we can share our ideas to produce a better project, compared to only using ideas from one person. However, it is sometimes easier for me to write an article, whereas producing something creative such as a film or a narrative requires a lot of time and energy to be dedicated to brainstorming. Compared to other projects, it is quite challenging for me to make and organize something made completely from scratch. In addition, communication and organization among different people could be difficult. Our team would be playing different roles, and in some cases those roles may be imbalanced depending on how much energy each individual dedicates to the project.

This shot attempts to incorporate humor by providing relief to the tension after addressing Santa Claus's wrongdoings, which could be s...

Creative Critical Reflection Draft #1

How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?   The genre of the film is presented to be a comedy that also has some elements of a drama.  Like a comedy, the film mainly tries to emphasize humor and amuse the audience. To get this reaction, comedies tend to exaggerate certain characteristics of the action, language, characters, setting, or plot to provide the humorous effect. In a similar way, we follow conventions of a comedy in which our product centers around Santa losing his job. In situational comedies such as Groundhog Day and Happy Gilmore, the humor is centered around the narrative, by which the main-character is found in unfamiliar circumstances. In this case, a Not-So-Merry Christmas follows situational comedies as Santa Claus’s position to get fired after Christmas Day is regarded as unusual.  By placing Santa Claus in a business environment, it provides humor and irony as his situation highly cont...
