- How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues? CCR 1 PowerPoint - Jadan Cedeno.pptx My product introduces the funny yet complicated relationship between siblings, a sister and brother. Usually in films, sibling relationships are represented as "tough love," and leave the rest of the film for character development for one or both siblings to make their bond towards one another stronger. Since they identify as Latino/Hispanic, I decided to go with this theme since this particular group as People Of Color (POC) tend to have harsher way of being raised. Though this can be included in all social groups, I personally went for this group because I am Latina myself, so I wanted to represent my people and bring to light what some of us go through at home that affects our relationships with other people in our lives. I also settled with a shared dramatic situation between the two siblings to leave the door open for bonding later...
So, for the final project, I'm thinking of many ideas for the genre. These are what I came up with for now: Horror; taking place in a forest and involving around three to four individuals. Takes place in the afternoon because the night would be too dangerous for the cast. The whole mood would be suspenseful and could intensify as time goes by. Near the end, could leave a scene that leaves the audience on a cliffhanger. Romance; taking place in the city. The time would be around late afternoon for the sun to shine bright.

Adventure/Expedition; takes place in the forest and involving two individuals who can play as characters who are travelers. I can try and edit certain scenes to make it seem as though they have found some sort of other worldly item o...
The last essential of a film opening is conflict! Conflict in an opening scene provides entertainment, excitement, and introduction to everyone and everything. However, it cannot be just any sort of conflict. There are certain types befitting for certain genres. By adding the right sort of conflict, friction in the story is created and can leave the audience to ask questions and become intrigued for what happens next. For my blog, I added a fight sequence to create anticipation and introduce the main character as what type of woman she is and how capable she is of herself. By fighting strategically and using her surroundings, she was able to be the last one standing in the dual. Since my genre was mafia/criminal/action, I thought that a short fighting scene (since I only had 2 minutes as a maximum limit) would be best. It had to make sense of course, so that's why I had my actress reach for a metal object to inflict heavy damage and get away quick and fast. Based on the dialogue ...
