Question #3

 

Research for question #3

Now that I have completed the research for questions 1 and 2 , I have already completed my scripts, the links are in the previous blogs. I am half done with my CCR videos. This last questions I will pair 3 and 4, and I will do it in another type of video. Lets take a glance on what the third question is asking. 

How did your production skills develop throughout this project?

When the teacher was explaining the directions for creating the CCRs, she recommended to answer this question last, as it is a question that reflects the overall process and development of this project, which I think is smart. As I look back at the first week I think I was pushing myself too hard, because I didn't know were to edit, record and who to choose to interpret my characters, which affected my way of thinking. However, during the filming days with my friends, I was able to come up with more ideas on how the camera and the movement of the characters was going to be like. Also something that helped was the research and planning at the beginning of the project. By researching the conventions, target audience, credit sequence, and much more, these elements were crucial as it was a guide in the development of my film opening. 

Of course, I had challenges in the making of this film, for instance, as I said in previous blogs. I was dependent on my friends schedule, so whenever they could come to my house I was able to film. There were days when they couldn't, so the planning in time was poor. Also, as I was editing on my iPad, and uploading the music to the shots, in ClipChamp, for some reason it didn't work, and I tried everything, I researched, restarted my device, logged in another device, but nothing really worked. So I had two options, give up or try another platform. Obviously I'm not giving up, so I started to use iMovie, and it was easier than I thought. 

At the start of the creation, I didn't have hope on how is was going to turn out, because I didn't have anything planned out. At that time my friends weren't available, I was unclear over the type of genre, and I was overwhelmed on how much work I had to put for this project. However, I ended with more hope, I know this isn't Hollywood, but I'm proud on how everything turned out. I had an amazing time filming this with my friends, as well as I know they also had fun being a part of this. I learned how to edit, write, be creative, and more important manage my time wisely.
