Final CCRs!

And yet another thing that is finally complete! 

My CCRs both took a lot of time to make. It took a lot of retakes and a lot of time and thinking to create the scripts, but again, they are done. As I said it the last post with my final film opening, it feels like I started the project just yesterday, and now I am ready to present it to you. After a while of showing you pictures of the editing process of my CCRs you get to finally see it. So without further ado...

I present to you my first CCR and my second CCR!

I hope you enjoy them!

Final Film Opening!

Wow... it feels like I started this project yesterday, but here I am, presenting it to you guys. 

I have learned a lot these past few weeks about planning, production, editing, etc. I have worked really long and hard on this project, and don't regret a thing. I am extremely happy and proud with how it turned out. After all of these weeks of blogging, and editing, and putting little pieces of my film opening on my blog, it is finally the time to show you guys. So without further ado...

I present my official film opening!

I hope you all enjoy it!

Finished Editing Documentary

This CCR took a while to film and edit. I had to read off of a script, while trying to seem like I was not reading off of a script. It was really hard to do so, which made me take many takes.

I edited a lot of pop ups to show visulas and make my documentary a bit more exciting, while keeping it somewhat professional. All of the information was stated showing B - roll and some of the A-roll as well with the diagetic sounds.

I put the links to all of the things I used in my CCR down below. I used references from my inspirations as well as just images of what I was talking about, and clips of my actual film opening.

I attached screenshots of my editing below, as well as a close up to my workspace.

The next posts will be my final CCRs, and my final film opening. Thank you for keeping up with this journey. I cant wait for you to see my final products!

CCR Documentary

Today I filmed my CCR that is a documentary. It ended up going really nicely, and I can’t wait to edit it. I already know everything that I am going to edit into my CCR. So I am basically almost done with 1/2 of my CCRs. 

Now my original plan was to do a carpool karaoke, however I don’t believe I have enough time to do it. My wifi had recently not been working at my house, so it has been very hard to do any homework, or edit anything. 

Because of this issue, I only have tomorrow to edit both of my CCR’s. I think that I will end up just making a PowerPoint with a voiceover as my second CCR, and put a lot of work into my first one. Don’t get me wrong, I am still going to put effort into my second one as well.

With that being mentioned, I attached a screenshot of my documentary CCR below.

The resolution looks low, but it is not. I wanted to make the lighting sort of the same as in my film opening to connect my CCR and my opening. I will be using this and combining it with other clips from my opening, and other psychological thrillers as well as some other information that I will state in my documentary.

I am really upset that I do not have time to film the carpool karaoke because I really liked the idea, but I will make the PowerPoint as exciting as I possibly can.

Keep coming back to see my final opening and CCR very very soon!

CCR Script

And we’re down to the final days! This has been a very long and very thought through production, and I have loved every second of it. I am so proud of how my productions came out
and I can’t wait to show you. In the meantime, I will record and edit my CCR, and the whole thing will be done.

The last few days I’ve been making sure that my film opening was fine, and that I had everything that I needed. Now that I have finished checking everything, I made the script for my CCR.

I made two scripts: the carpool script and the documentary script. I will attach pictures of the script for the carpool CCR below.

Elvis is what my dad will say, and Arianna is what I will say. (Sorry for the bad handwriting).

I plan on finishing the whole thing by tomorrow or Sunday maximum. I am excited to show you guys the final project.

Stay tuned to see the project in its entirety!

Just some Ideas

So in the last post I pitched some of my ideas for the creative critical reflection (CCR). I said that some ideas of a CCR were pretending to be in a talk show, making a documentary, doing a carpool talk show, and a twitter Q/A.

I need to make two different type of CCRs. I said the questions that I will be answering in my CCRs in my last post. There are 4 questions which I will be answering 2 in one video, and 2 in the other. I plan to make them both be around 3 minutes long. I will make sure to keep them max under 10 minutes both times combined.

For the carpool talk show idea,  I want to do something like James Corden. James grabs artists and sings karaoke with them, but every now and then, he interviews them and asks them questions. That is what I plan on doing. I attached a picture below showing how I would like the shot to look while I get asked the questions and answer them.

The second idea is the documentary. For this idea, I will get asked the questions and I will answer them in a serious way. I will also be giving behind the scenes information while showing clips of the actual film opening. I will add videos and photos of the clip and also of things where I got information. An example of the angle would be in the documentary for Demi Lovato, which I attached below.

These are some of my ideas for the CCR. Keep coming back to see my final film opening and CCR!
