Creative critical reflection
On completion of the product, candidates must reflect upon their work, using digital formats such as
director commentaries, slideshows with voiceover, podcasts, prezis or screencasts. The emphasis should be on creative use of such tools to critically reflect on the production, guided by the following compulsory questions:
1. How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?
In a Blog Post, Describe 3-5 "conventions"(camera shots, fonts, etc)of your genre that you used or challenged in your project. You don't need photos for your blog post, but you will for your powerpoint with voiceover or prezi.
