Guess who learned about CCR’s!!

 Hey hey hey!! Happy Monday, Lunes, Lundi, or Lunedi!!

As for the Oscars last night (I know you’re not asking), they were great!! Oppenheimer bagged a decent amount of awards (10 I believe, not too much😉), and one of my favorite actresses, Emma Stone, won Best Actress which was great too. I loved the performances, and as my teacher did say, those who had to win finally won!! Anyway... Before I get too ahead of myself… 

Guess who learned about CCR’s today!! Me! 😊

As I am starting production, which because of the length of it, does not take long (at least in my case), I do have to start thinking of my CCR, or my Creative Critical Conventions. Today in class my teacher went through a great and thorough presentation clarifying what is a CCR, what it contains, and more importantly, how should we do it. 

To start things off, the CCR is basically a medium in which we reflect on our time in the portfolio project production process. In the creation of these minimum of two pieces, whether it be a presentation with a voiceover or a talk show, we get to show our personalities! There are 4 important and specific questions we need to answer...

• How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it help social groups and issues?
• How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?
• How did your production skills develop throughout the project?
• How did you integrate software, hardware, and online technologies into this project? 

We are to answer each question thoroughly, with details and adequate evidence. Ideally, and what I plan to do, is to answer two questions through each medium. As I answer these questions, I must make these mediums as entertaining and not boring, but as straightforward as possible, meaning it can be at most 10 minutes (who wants to listen to a 30-minute presentation anyway?). 

Towards the end, we should give a final statement reflecting on the project as a whole, in addition to what we have learned, what we can do differently, and how we can improve the next time we come across a project like this.
