CCR production

    Hi! okay so my CCRs. I filmed two of them each answering two questions. As you know from previous posts, my first video is a comical video where I'm talking to a random person who wants to know about my portfolio project, the second one is an online cooking video. I started by writing the answers to the CCR questions, then I made two scripts incorporating the answers to those questions. My next step was to deal with the mise-en-scene for each video. The first one wasn't that hard, I just had to find spot in my house that looked nice and had good lighting. The second one was a little more challenging because I had to use my kitchen, find pajamas that were presentable enough, and find an apron that wasn't completely destroyed after using it for years. My original thought was to make the CCR that takes place in the kitchen during the day, but I didn't realize that the day I choose to film my dad would be working from home so I wouldn't have been allowed to be in the kitchen filming. By the time he was done with work the TV was already on in the other room, so I had to wait for my family to go to bed. Because of this it was around midnight when I started filming so I decided to rename my "cooking show" Madi Makes a Midnight snack, because it took place at midnight and I was cooking very simple food.

This is an image of the costume I ended up wearing for my second CCR video.

Conclusions:

I really liked filming these CCRs, it let me be creative while also answering some questions that are vital to understanding my thought process behind my film opening. I got to show off a little bit more of my personality, and think more about my project. I can't wait to edit the final takes together and have fully completed CCRs!
