CCR Production

   Hi blog! This week I have begun filming for my CCR! I am excited to see how they come out. This blog post will discuss the production process of my CCRs. 

Ideas and Process: 

I will split the questions into two productions. My first one will answer questions 1 & 2 and the second one will answer questions 3 & 4. As for my ideas, in my AICE media class, we have discussed possible ideas such as a podcast, slideshow presentation, etc. The CCR consisting of the answers to questions 3 & 4 will be a video of me drawing on a whiteboard, expressing my ideas. I have already filmed for this one, however, I realized I filmed a little too much... so I will re-film and shorten my ideas. As for my second one, I will just film myself discussing the topic while integrating photos and videos of my project. The other CCR will be reading a bedtime story, which is related to film, and answer the questions for questions #1 and 2. I will wear my pajamas and set my phone down while I hold a book and "read".

As for my setup, I simply put my phone up against a cup of water and sat on my bed. 

CCR #2 photo(s): Here is a picture of my setup: 

Here is a timeline of my editing: 

I ended up using iMovie because Adobe would not load on my personal computer. 

Challenges: 

I am aiming to have only around 10 minutes of CCRs, so they will both be around 5. minutes each. When I began exporting my videos even after speeding things up, it was well over 8 minutes. To fix this, I will re-film. To put it into perspective, I chose to write the question on the whiteboard, erase it, and then draw a visual together. To fix the insufficient time, I will draw the visual smaller with the question being written down. Hopefully, this will save me some time! In addition, I wanted a clear view of the whiteboard, however, I do not own a tripod or anything similar to one. I was pacing around my room looking for things to put my phone on. Luckily, I have a piece of furniture with bars and I balanced my phone above the bars, with the space being between the camera and it worked out perfectly! Thankfully, I did not run into any issues in regards to filming for my first CCR

Plan:

In order for filming to go by more smoothly, I wrote my scripts down here they are: 

CCR#1: 

CCR#2

Safe to say, filming my CCR's is now complete!
