Media Studies Project

 

                                                            CCR Class Lesson 

     CCR stands for Creative Critical Reflection. CCR's are an important part of the Cambridge Portfolio Project and usually take place after the production process. It is important that students know how to complete a CCR efficiently. This blog posting will be discussing what I learned from my AICE Media Studies teacher about CCR's. 

Purpose of CCR

     The purpose of the CCR is to reflect on the production. During the CCR I am to reflect on my planning, production, and final product. These are the three main parts of the overall project. Additionally, I am to respond to the questions provided. It is very important that I develop an elaborated response to all of the four questions provided. 

     A good way to answer the four questions clearly is to create two types of media products. Some examples are director commentary, a presentation with voiceover, and a talk show ("host" interviews director). This would be an amazing for me to answer all of the questions and do so in an engaging manner. 

The Four Questions

        Question One of the CCR relates to genre conventions. Regarding this question, it is important that I discuss genre characteristics and representation. It is always good to cite where information was found as well. Question Two of the CCR relates to target audience. Regarding this question, I am to discuss all components of my target audience, production choices, and distribution methods. Furthermore, it is always important that I cite research that was used.

      Question Three of the CCR relates to the production process of my project. It is necessary for me to explain my research, planning, and production process. To conclude the question, I am supposed to end with a reflection. Question Four of the CCR relates to the discussion of any technologies that were used throughout my project. For example, hardware/software such as cameras, microphones, lighting, planning tools, editing tools, etc. As usual, it is important that I include any sources that were used.

Ending

      The ending of my CCR will be a final statement that reflects on the project as a whole. I will discuss what I learned throughout my experience and what I would do differently. This part should not take up a lot of time and only acts as a resolution to my overall project.
