Research and script for #2 question of CCR post

Hey blog! Now that I’ve started planning the structure of my CCR, I’ve been thinking more about the creative direction for the first two questions. Since my film opening includes that mysterious voice, I thought it would be really interesting if that same voice actually interviews me during the CCR.

Instead of just answering the questions normally, the voice would ask me the questions almost like an interrogation. I like this idea because it connects the reflection directly to the themes of my film. The voice represents the controlling system in the dystopian world, so having it question the creator of the film adds another layer to the idea of authority and surveillance.

For Question 2, which asks how my product engages with audiences and how it would be distributed as a real media text, my main focus is on suspense and curiosity. The opening is meant to make the audience feel slightly uncomfortable and uncertain about the world the character lives in.

Because the main character begins to question authority, the audience immediately understands that this could be dangerous. That creates tension and makes viewers want to keep watching to see whether she gets caught or whether she continues to rebel.

Another way the film engages audiences is by slowly revealing information about the dystopian world instead of explaining everything right away. This encourages viewers to pay attention to details and try to figure out what is happening.

If my film were distributed as a real media text, it would likely target a teenage or young adult audience because dystopian stories are very popular with that demographic. It could work well on small streaming platforms where audiences enjoy suspenseful or thought-provoking content.

Here's a rough draft of the script:

VOICE:

Creator. Explain how your product engages with its audience.

ME:

My film engages audiences mainly through suspense and tension. From the beginning, viewers can sense that something isn’t quite right in the world the main character lives in.

VOICE:

Explain further.

ME:

The audience quickly realizes that the main character is beginning to question the system around her. In a dystopian society, questioning authority is dangerous, so that immediately creates tension in the film and for the viewers.

VOICE:

And how would this product reach an audience?

ME:

If it were distributed as a real media text, it would most likely be released on a streaming platform aimed at younger audiences who enjoy dystopian or psychological stories. These platforms allow films like this to reach viewers who enjoy suspenseful narratives that explore social issues.

Remember, this is still a rough draft, I'll fix it throughout the week!
