Critical Reflection: Question 11/22/2021 Video:
My product uses conventions to craft a narrative that isn't plain or boring, but is instead new and engaging to watch. It uses conventions to its advantage by using some to provide emphasis in certain scenes like with a close up. However it begins to challenge conventions with a narrative that drops the audience into something as it's still unfolding. Almost coming into the middle of the story as opposed to the beginning where things are still normal for the main character. My product does however necessarily lean more into conventions as a way of grounding itself in the classic detective and noir genres that has been so thoroughly built off of conventions for decades. So the product uses conventions as a way of giving familiarity to an otherwise unseen story. My product does not represent social groups but it does tackle the typical narrative issues of a noir. That of treading the line between what is right and what is wrong to get what you want. As well it represents the issues of regret and knowing that you've gone in too deep to something but not knowing how to get out of it. It also to an extent represents the issue of dealing with fate and the hand you've been given in life, and how what you do with it is really more what shapes you. Death and the use of violence against another person for personal gain is also an issue that is represented in my product.
