How does your product challenge or use conventions? The production of these shots uses common conventions for scenes in movies or t.v. shows with basketball games in them. In the movie, The Longest Yard, they challenged the concept of using an aerial shot to establish a setting to using it for getting a clear view of the ball going into the hoop. We emulated this and it worked extremely well. Otherwise, every other convention wasn’t challenged but used as intended.

How did your production skills develop during this project? During the project, I learned how to hold the camera properly and I got better at editing photos in terms of contrast of colors and brightness to make a photo look better and more clear.

How did you integrate technologies – software, hardware and online- in this project? We used my phone, an iphone 6s, to take all the photos because it had the best resolution camera. We also downloaded an app that let us edit the photos to make them look even better.
