Interview ft. Me

    Last part of my print component is the interview section with the directo, i.e me jeje. I'm doing three questions and answers, this wouldn't have been the whole interview realistically, but they were the most important and interesting part included. 

    Q1: What inspired you to film a docuseries on the Cypress Bay DECA Top 7?

    A: Well, I was an executive officer myself, and I witnessed first-hand all the effort that the team, especially the top officers put into making sure the chapter succeeded. I thought that work deserved more recognition, so that's how the idea was born. 

    Q2: Guide us through your creative process. 

    A: When it comes to filming documentaries, I believe in letting passion take the wheel, always. Allowing the subjects stories guide the plot and really engaging with them. I hate stiff and forced interviews, so I try to make them more conversational, coming up with questions on the spot based on the interviewees answers and letting them guide the conversational floor and open up. 

    Q3: Who was your favorite subject, or subjects, to work with. 

    A: I can't possibly pick just one, they were all lovely to work with and incredible people. I would say that my favorite episode to film was Valen's (Valentina Lorenzo) because she's super funny and real, I couldn't stop laughing during the interview. 

    Now my print component is done! It's likely that I may change some things here and there since I can never truly be satisfied, but here it is: 

CR - Critical Reflection

    Our teacher provided us with a sample of a past CCR with annotations showing where in the essay the student was answering the four different questions the we must discuss in our essay. 

So I thought it'd be a good idea to kinda do an outline of the points I wish to hit in my essay/ how I plan to answer the questions.

How do your products represent social groups or issues? 

- Represent the ants/ the background workers in a club who do a lot and gain very little back

- It's a small, highly specific group of people, but they can apply to many others experiences 

How do the elements of your production work together to create a sense of branding?

- Same official DECA font all throughout 

- Blue color 

- Logo (diamonds)

How do your products engage with the audience?

- Instagram is popular with young target audience, but has large reach to other audiences as well

- Picked Insta for use of still images and videos (reels)

- Magazine spread being bright with many images and "less" writing, eye catching and less boring to read 

How did your research inform your products and the way they use or challenge conventions?

-  Mostly follow conventions, the people's stories/experiences and the meaning is what I want to really stick out 

- Voice Over, intro sequence, interviews with b-roll, background music
