CCR Creation #2

Hello!!! I am here to tell you now that my second idea was to make a TikTok. As I had very little time to reflect I noticed that making a TikTok or a reel on Instagram would be perfect. They are well known for their entertainment in people in just a short time and they can be about anything really. I used the same strategy for this CCR as in the last one. A script! Here, check it out.

Hello Arianna  

Good Morning Romeo 

Would you mind explaining to us how your production skills developed throughout this project? 

Well, first I must say that at first just putting my effort into the film was enough as while I started doing something little, ideas just started coming to my mind more each time. That process is where my production started evolving. I planned out everything in the notes, I even recorded a video of myself explaining my plot so that no thought is left out. From that, I started organizing myself each time to get more ideas out of my mind and come up with more creative decisions. Blogging was also my path of following to understand my thoughts as I wrote almost every thought that I had while analyzing clue points. This made everything easier. Yet I did get stuck sometimes, and started things that were not that helpful compared to the time I put on it such as analyzing a film from a Genre I was not going to do. I had similar struggles in post-production as when editing I had to change platforms for the subtitles or change the multimedia devices like from my phone to the laptop at the end. I don’t regret any decision as I did learn from each mistake that cost me time, yet if I had the chance to do everything again one thing I would perfectionate is planning and creating a schedule where I have everything listed so that there’s nothing done at last minute. I still think I did well in this project as I started at a level where I didn’t even know how to edit as in almost all the group projects in class that part was made by other members. I must say that I learned all the techniques and I have a wider knowledge of what they are and how to create them as well as understanding that each technique has a purpose to convey a feeling or idea.  

Romeo; Was that the same for the technologies you integrated? 

Me: Yes, I have never used Premiere or Blogger or Veed.io or After Effects before which were the main ones used, and with the Camera, Tripod, and lighting, I had very little knowledge, and I would never have imagined having used them for this type of project. I mostly used devices that I had and used them in my daily life but not for this purpose and I had to learn more about them for the film as moving the exposure of the camera which helped me in almost the end. Premiere Rush too was a saver as it included almost every editing technique and option that I needed to add. I learned a lot from it by researching on YouTube or simply clicking a bunch of buttons.  

Romeo: Wow Any final words for the public.  

Well yeah, I want to add that I learned several things from this project that will help me in my future not just with technical uses but also by teaching me determination and developing my creative, thinking, and planning skills that will always be useful as well as helping me understand how to prioritize tasks while also perfecting several shots. Yet, what is most important is that I saw how I was able to create something beautiful if I put the work into it.

  

I decided to make this an interview but more in a formal way like if I would be shown through the news. So, it would be something like a TikTok channel News, and I am the director and producer of the film that is wanted to be interviewed. That is why I decided to make my friend or my Dad (the part where it says Romeo in the script) the interviewer so that it looks more professional compared to my last CCR where I used Romeo, my dog. As, well for the location I am going to the beach tomorrow so I am thinking about doing it there as if I were going out of the car and paparazzi come to interview me. I would use a similar idea for filming at home if the lighting is not good or simply it is harder to show how I am not reading. So I am going to try it at both locations. 

Talking about that, I said in the last post that I was going to talk about how I am measuring and balancing the time of both of my CCRs because now together are around 11 minutes I asked my classmate and she said that 7 is a great number but 10 is the max so I have to of course either summarize it or mention just the most important things. Meanwhile, the one here is the full script and I do not want to spoil you the complete thing as there is just a short time for the days when I am going to show you my film. Just wait a little be more to see perfection. 

Here are the people who might act as interviewers and help me out!
