CCR Production

For the production of my CCR, I had 2 ideas which I was able to execute both successfully: an interview and a documentary/questionnaire.  I had the idea to do the classic talk show interview, because I felt like it was the most effective way to integrate a creative concept, while still being able to answer the questions in an efficient way. However, my 2nd idea being the documentary took a little more effort since it was filmed in the middle of the forest aka the set of my film. Let's go through the production of both CCRs!

The interview: So with this CCR, I answered questions 3 and 4 and luckily had the help of my 2 friends, one of them also being in aice media. I enjoyed having her help since she gave me advice from and outside perspective that wasn't biased and we had a similar-ish concept so we were able to bounce ideas off of one another. 

We decided to film in the most plain room we could find and got rid of any decor so that our interview would be the main/only topic in the video. We also tried to dress as officially as possible so that we could sell the idea of an interview even further.

This is how our set up looked like!

I made sure I had my CCR script finalized and had it in front of me while filming so I could make sure that I wasn't missing any points and that my explanations flowed correctly. 

The documentary: so for this CCR, I answered questions 1 and 2 and it was actually a little easier than the first CCR. Although I did have to go to the forest to film, I went in the morning and found that there were no real interruptions outside other than some occasional planes. But to my surprise, there wasn't a lot of people out so it was easy to film without disturbing anyone. 

Also, it was a nice day out so there wasn't any rain we had to be wary of and all in all, everything kind of worked in our favor so that was a relief. I tried to dress similarly to my last CCR which is somewhat "official" since my inspiration for this CCR is those directors cut videos where the filmmakers of a movie will explain some aspects of it while on the set for the film.

I learned a lot from filming my CCR and I was really able to reflect on myself and my work. I needed to research, edit, and film, which I think only helped my skills as a filmmaker!
