Creative Critical Reflection Rough Draft #2

How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?


During the cast process of our film, we wanted the cast to be a group of close-knit friends who could be comfortable acting as they naturally would at school with each other and bickering and being mean without it being awkward. Marin and I decided to cast Mary Margaret and Andrew and four of their closest friends who are involved in our school's theater program. Therefore, this ensures the cast will be comfortable and be able to have fun on set with their fellow cast members while being able to employ the experience they have acting to make the movie as great as it can be. Katie was cast as Mrs. Headle mainly for her ability to portray "over the top" characters in a natural and confident way. She is one of my close friends and is also extremely familiar with the rest of the cast, making it easier for the scene to flow as normally as possible. This normalcy portrayed on screen will hopefully reflect onto the audience and relax them so they and enjoy the film as much as possible. By casting people who have already formed relationships, Marin and I ensured that as our characters have a natural, friendly, and comedic relation shown within our movie, and as a result this will impression onto the audience.

As a real media text, our film would be distributed through independent film companies and displayed at small scale film festivals, where there will fluid audiences who are open and interested in any type of films. Our film incorporates the idea of a romantic comedy of a high school love story, but with a twist. This will hopefully excite the audience to attend these festivals and watch online through independent film company websites. For example, websites such as IndieReign and YouTube would also be extremely beneficial to widening our audiences and gaining the attention needed to attract them. With this start, positive advertising from audiences who watch it on these websites could result in even more increased awareness. Likewise, Sarasota hosts an annual film festival open to anyone wanting to submit a film. The Sarasota Film Festival runs from April 5 through April 14 this year. My town also has a Sarasota Film Society, which is a nonprofit, member-supported organization, dedicated to providing the highest levels of entertainment and education to the public from all areas of the film industry. This company has two locations in Burns Court and Lakewood Ranch Cinemas. Additionally, the Sarasota Film Society holds the Cine-World Film Festival each year which Marin and I could submit our film and audiences could attend and view or film. This year, it runs November 1 through November 10. Like other film festivals or websites, this could gain an audience or at least some popularity for our film.
