For our final submission, we could not change anything because we could not meet up. We were on a state wide lock-down. We editing the quality of the sound bridge at the beginning of the film, but other than that, we were not able to do anything else.

How did you integrate technologies - Software, Hardware and Online - in this project? I integrated technologies into this product with the use of my Dell laptop, and my I Phone X. Software such as google chrome, internet explorer, and blogger were very helpful in creating my project. I learned how to operate blogger very well, such as adding pictures and YouTube videos into my posts. Google chrome and internet explore helped me do research for the project, and most of my information came from there.

How did your production skills develop throughout this project? My production skills developed throughout the project immensely. I was able to learn Imovie and Splice very well, and I believe it shows in the production, editing, and overall quality of the film. I learned how to focus my camera, and where and how to hold it to get the best shots. My time management skills improved as well. Learning how long scenes took to shot and how long it took to edit them applied to everyday things, such as chores. I learned how to make transitions, how to put text over a shot, and basic skills that helped me improve my production.

How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed throughout this project? Our product engages audiences by keeping them suspenseful about whats going to happen next. For example, the film ends on finding out Francheska is working for the mob, and Isabella having no clue. This would entice audiences to keep watching to find out what happens with the two detectives. Also, the comedy aspect of our film lightens the mood, so our audience will have a good time, while also wanting to find out what happens next. Our film would be distributed as a real media text in theaters, and then later on streaming services such as Netflix and HBO. We feel this would be the best way to get our film out so the maximum amount of people can watch it.

How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues? Our product uses and challenges conventions by the use of camera shots. For example, we used a POV shot when Samantha was getting kidnapped, to show fear from the perspective of a kidnap victim. We also used a long shot, to show that kidnappings can happen anywhere, not just stereotypical places such as dark alleys and big cities. The social groups represented are the "good guys", the "bad guys", and the ordinary civilian. Leonardo represents the bad guys, as the leader of the Italian mob. They are shown as criminals, who hold their hostages for ransom. Samantha is shown as the ordinary civilian, who just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. The "good guys" are represented by Francheska and Isabella, who are the detectives trying to bring justice to the mob, specifically Leonardo, and bring back their friend Samantha. The film portrays th...
