Talk Show Script - CCR
Script for one of the media projects
My Script:
Host: Welcome to the Late at Night Talk Show, I am Keith Peters, tonight we'll talk about the creation of a film opening that shows a hockey player, Joey practicing his hockey skills before his big game, right before something tragic happens in his life. The person who created the film opening is here with me today. Let me introduce to you, Maddox Peters!
Maddox: Thank you Keith, it is honor to be with you here tonight. It is very special to be here to share with all of you my insight of the process of the film opening and what me and Joey had to go through to get this out to all of you.
Host: Let's start with how you product represents social groups or problems and uses or questions norms.
Maddox: Instead of concentrating on the external
challenges of winning the game, the opening of our movie challenges the
conventions of sports movies by highlighting the interior struggles of a hockey
player. Because they are frequently ignored in popular sports movies, we wanted
to examine the psychological and emotional elements of being an athlete. Our
movie tackles the pressure and expectations put on young athletes, particularly
in environments where there is a lot of competition.
Host: What a unique perspective on the sports field. Could
you elaborate on how your product interacts with audiences and how actual media
texts would distribute it?
Maddox: We wanted our movie's beginning to connect with
viewers who might have encountered similar demands and expectations in their
lives, even those that weren't related to sports. The universal topics of
self-doubt and tenacity in our movie can connect with a wide audience. In order
to reach a larger audience, we intend to distribute our movie through film
festivals and internet streaming services.
Host: That is a really good idea. Let's talk about how this
endeavor helped you hone your production abilities.
Maddox: As a team, we developed effective
communication skills, time management skills, and the ability to play to our
abilities in order to realize a common goal. In order to improve the narrative,
we also improved our technical abilities, which included using various camera
angles, lighting setups, and sound design. In order to portray Joey's emotional
state during his practice, we tried with various methods, such as using
slow-motion shots and altering the color grading to set a somber tone.
Host: That's amazing. Can you elaborate on how you
incorporated software, hardware, and online tools into this project?
Maddox: We used online tools like Google Drive and
Zoom for collaboration and communication, as well as programs like Final Cut
Pro and Adobe Premiere to edit the video and add effects. To record
high-quality video and audio, we also used gear such as cameras, microphones,
and lighting fixtures. To guarantee the highest quality, we made sure to use
the appropriate tools for each shot.
Host: You appear to have employed a variety of technologies
to realize your idea. Finally, can you tell us about any difficulties you had
when creating this movie's opening?
Maddox: One of the difficulties we had was getting
the proper video of the exercise. To acquire the greatest possible footage, we
had to carefully consider our shot placement and anticipate Joey's actions. It
was occasionally difficult for us to focus because of the rink's background noise
and other distractions. However, with good planning and communication, we were
able to get through these challenges.
Host: That is wonderful to hear. We appreciate the team's
participation in today's discussion regarding the creation of our film's opening.
We are eager to present it to audiences and see where it leads.
Maddox: Yes, it had been very great to speak with you tonight, and I hope that all of you get the chance to see it for your selves after hearing what went behind this process of being able to get this out to everyone. Thank you and goodnight!

Group Meeting 2
Group Meeting Overview
Teamwork and cooperation require group meetings, which are even more important when working on a creative project like a movie. I recently participated in a group discussion where we talked about our film openings, our editing work, and our plans for critical reflection. I'll discuss my impressions and thoughts on this meeting in this blog entry.
First, we shared our work on editing our films to kick off the meeting. It was fascinating to observe how each group member had a different editing strategy and style. Others prioritized sound, while some were more visually oriented. It was fascinating to see how various editing methods could completely change the look of the same footage. While others still needed to finish editing, they still were able to give and retain knowledge from the meeting.
We talked about the editing process before moving on to our picture openings. Each of us had prepared a succinct summary of the first scene in our movie, which we presented to the group. This activity helped us get feedback on our artistic decisions and improved our comprehension of one another's artistic perspectives.
We explored the themes and motifs that we were trying to communicate through our films as we got more into talking about the openings of our films. The conversation was stimulating and gave us a better grasp of the underlying ideas we wanted to convey to our audience.
At the meeting's conclusion, we talked about our intentions for critical reflection. We agreed that it was critical reflection on our work that would help us find areas for narrative development. We also talked about the various different ideas that each group member came up with and how they were going to incorporate them into each of the two media projects.
In conclusion, this group meeting was a valuable learning opportunity that aided in the development of our editing abilities, the discussion of our creative goals and themes, and the organization of our critical reflection. It served as a reminder to me of the value of critical thought, constructive criticism, and group input in the creative process.
