Researching and analyzing first question of my CCR

Hey blog today im analyzing the first question of my CCR! In today's blog I will be summarizing my process and telling you what I have on mind for my ccr. 

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

For the research of the first question on the CCR, I started by analyzing mystery film conventions, particularly those involving missing persons and psychological suspense that is what im mainly focusing on for this project, to understand how they create tension and engage their audiences. Then I examined films that focus on survival from the perspective of the missing person, allowing for a more intimate and psychological exploration of fear and isolation. Additionally, I researched real-life cases of missing women, exploring themes of societal neglect, trauma, and self-preservation, which informed the film’s social commentary. Studies on lighting, sound design, and cinematography in thrillers helped shape how to visually represent suspense. 

some of the cases researched:

How does it represent social groups or issues: Mainly based on survival, societal neglect, and the psychological effects of trauma my main character was facing to symbolize particularly through the lens of missing women. It addresses the reality that missing persons cases are often treated unequally based on factors such as gender, race, and socioeconomic status. Many individuals, especially women receive less media attention and fewer investigative resources. The opening explores issues related to trauma and mental health. The decision to hide instead of seeking help may reflect past experiences with authority figures who failed her, illustrating distrust in law enforcement or societal institutions. This aligns with real-world cases where victims of abuse, trafficking, or violence fear that coming forward will not guarantee their safety. The film could also highlight how the media portrays missing persons questioning who is deemed worthy of public concern and who is ignored.
