AICE Media Studies AS- Rudo, H

     Here is my annotated bibliography for my AICE Media Studies AS class. I used a total of 20 different articles to research from. Each article is cited in APA format and is organized in alphabetical order. These sources helped explain the steps in creating a film and magazine, and contributed to the success of my final project.

Question 1: How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues? I used a podcast to answer this question because it has a more in-depth response than some of the other questions. In this second episode of discussing the film This Can't Be Real...Is It?: The Awful Waffles Podcast we discussed how the film challenges conventions of a movie and who the targeted audience is. In addition, more personal questions were asked about the experience creating this film. Creative Critical Reflection 1 Response Question 2: How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text? I used a podcast to answer this question because it has a more in-depth response than some of the other questions. In this first episode of discussing the film  This Can't Be Real...Is It?: The Awful Waffles Podcast  we discussed how the film will be marketed and distributed.

        Here is my final draft of my film. It is titled  This Can't Be Real...Is It?: The Awful Waffles Podcast . This film is an animated comedy about a group of friends working on a podcast. The first two minutes represent an introduction of all the characters and how this podcast came to be.      I am very proud of how my film turned out. It is a comedy and has made everyone who watched it laugh. The animation of my film makes my film even more silly and quirky, which I am glad about. It isn't exactly how I envisioned it being at the beginning, but better. 

     A couple of days ago I came to the decision that I will not add on to my film.      I showed my final draft to my actors, just to ensure there were no more edits needed. we concluded that  it still is funny  and the removal of the last couple of seconds didn’t change much.        I decided not to add onto my film because of  two reasons . First, my voice actors couldn’t meet in person with me, due to COVID-19. They take   lockdown very seriously  and  it would have been during spring break (past the due date) when we could meet again  and film .  Second ly ,   a comment made by a student helped calm my nerves about my film seeming  too much lik e  a television show . Th is peer stated that the title cards and typography made it seem closer to a movie.  With these two reasons in mind, I have kept my film very similar to its rough draft.
