SO for this Im going to be researching for questions 1 and 2 of the Creative Critical Reflection
Those questions are:
- How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?
- How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?
I guess my dystopian film follows a pretty standard trope of survaillence and restricted knowledge, I dont really see much of a difference between my film and other books and films of dystopian genre...
If I compare my film to the book 1984 by George Owell, they both follow a leading force that desires conformity and does not stop at anything to achieve it. One thing that I found similar to my film in 1984 was the idea of a "Thought-Criminal", When I was brainstorming ideas, one of the first things I thought about when I started storyboarding was the Idea of extra restrictions on certain thoughts being restricted, however, I didnt really know how to incorporate that so its kinda not shown in the film intro.
The representation of social groups is a bit of a weird topic to me, Im not sure if its because I kind of forgot to think about that, or because I subconsciencly thought about it...
For my intro, Theres only one character, They're rebellious, and its somewhat represented by their costume and some aspects in the film related to mise-en-scene, usually rebellious individuals are greatly affected by censorship, sometimes censorship is the reason for the need to rebel. In my intro, the lack of memory doesnt allow for much creativity, but the protagonist still proceeds with artistic work, shown clearly in a close up shot with warm lighting. In history, some groups have faced difficulty from censorship, an example could be the Tianamen square massacre, where protests against censorship lead to the deaths (and more censorship) of many students.
idk what else to do

anyways onto question 2
So the way my film opening engages with audience is by relating coming of age features to those who may resonate with that, and also relating dystopian topics of censorship and fear of individual power to those who may relate in some way or another. (not the best way to describe this but i fear i may be dumb)
Asthetic can also have an effect, the use of bleak colors and surveillance shots can bring in an uneasiness for the viewer, leading to more retention and engaging content.
Talkign about distribution, since this is a literal beginner film, I could try to distribute through a Film Festival, Film festivals are fairly common in community spaces like libraries, schools, and other places. I could also try to submit my film for viewing at a locally owned movie theatre, I believe there is only one nearby me, but its an option since these places will sometimes have certain days where they show beginner movies from people who want to have it shown.
Also, films like these could be distributed online on platforms like Youtube, this is typically the easiest way to distribute, but it may not be the most rewarding.
