Calling Card: #1 question for CCR

How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues

Firstly, I think it is important to discuss what type of presentation I want to do for my first 2 questions. When me and my partner were brainstorming about what we wanted to do, I decided on an idea that I think is doable. I have decided on doing a podcast with the interviewer being my partner and the interviewee being me. While we sit in a professionally decorated setting with mics that I plan to borrow from a tech shop such as Microcenter or even Best Buy, my partner will ask me a couple questions related to the filming process. Following that, he then will ask me questions one and two from the CCR presentation.



Script:
Alex: "Welcome to our show everyone, today we are interviewing a famous movie director: Marat Rabadanov!"

Marat(me): "Thank you for inviting me today Alex, how's it goin?"

Alex: "Great, but me and my viewers were wondering, how does your recent film opening, Calling Card, challenge and use conventions?"

Marat: "Well, our film opening revolves around two investigators that are working together to uncover the truth behind the notorious thief called Shade, right? So I would say that this film opening definitely follows the classical conventions of mystery shows and movies."

Alex: "nods"

Marat: " Continuing, our product uses conventions to our advantage to appeal to our audience that has seen previous mystery movies. Although we do aim to make a mystery movie that follows a status quo, we still want to add our own twist to this type of genre."

Alex: "What makes your film stand out from other ones?"

Marat: "The way we would personalize this is by adding an element that does not appear very often. We will be adding a deuteragonist, by the name of Oliver, that will be working alongside Matthew, which is the protagonist. These two characters are to be compared to as equals and we strive to make that clear in the film opening."

Alex: "So let me get this straight, you got two protagonists on equal footing to add a special twist?"

Marat: "precisely"

Alex: "Another question, can you explain how your movie strives to represent social groups and issues?"

Marat: "We will be representing social groups by challenging the "Lone Wolf" archetype."

Alex: "Interesting, can you elaborate?"

Marat: "Of course, think about characters like Batman and Sherlock Holmes. Normally, these types of characters are depicted as isolated, not friendly, depressed, and even superior. We are aiming to represent two detectives, but in our film opening, we will establish Oliver and Matthew as equals."

Alex: "Go on"

Marat: "This depicts a more healthy version of teamwork and further reinforces them as friends. We will also have those two characters be from different ethnic backgrounds, but strive to reach the same goal together."

Alex: " You're talking about Matt and Oliver a lot, how does Shade come into this conversation?"

Marat: To dive into social issues, I wanted to introduce Shade. Shade would be presented as an elusive figure, seemingly appearing and disappearing with the Calling Card left in the place he struck. This can be used to represent how shade is the fear and the unknown in modern society."

Alex: "uhuh"

" I could also add how Shade can be an example of how people sometimes do not feel safe in familiar environments."

Alex: "Well that is it folks, you have heard it here from the man himself. Thank you guys for tuning in to our show and special thanks to Mr. Rabadanov for taking his time and showing up today.

Marat: "Thank you again for having me."
