Reflection of project

 Portfolio Project Reflection

This project was for sure a journey. Through multiple roadblocks me and my partner Selena we ran into it ended up good.Through all the filming, editing, brainstorming, storyboarding, etc.. Throughout all of these weeks I'm suprised I made it all the way through learning new things all the way. I finished filming everythinggggg it's been a long journey and I appreciate my partner and Mrs. Stoklosa for helping me all the way through.

Post-Production of CCR

For the first video, the editing was smooth and I took a free audio from YouTube and I used free images from google to display things I was talking about. I did end up using horror conventins in my film with a scary v/h/s effect and a quick glitch as the start. 

For the second video, the editing was good I used Canva to create the Spotlight Shows logo and I used a free applause audio from YouTube to create a talk show effect. Thats all the editing I used for the second video.

 

Production of CCR's

 Production of CCR's

The production of my CCR's went very smoothly. The first one went just as planned in my previous blog, where I spoke about how I was going to answer questions 2 and 4 and create a YouTube-type video. The video, in fact, was based on Coryxkenshin, and the horror conventions were most definitely displayed. The filming was done while I walked back in forth from my room to throughout the entire living room. 

The second video went smoothly as well but the only problem I could say was memorizing the script as question 3 had a long script. Besides that it went smooth, I used my mom's office to film them because it appeared as a professional setting.

CCR Project Ideas

 Project Ideas

Project ideas for my CCR have been running through my mind ever since I heard about it. For my first CCR I Plan on creating a somewhat kind of YouTube video that will be me answering questions, but I will be incorporating horror conventions into it to engage the audience and it's an idea that comes from a YouTuber named CoryxKenshin. For my second video I plan on creating an interview and it will be me and my mother speaking about questions in it up front. For my first video I plan to incorporate questions 2 and 4 and for my second video I plan to incorporate questions 1 and 3. Each will deep dive on the questions presented and, in the blogs, previously I may improvise the script if needed. 

CCR Question #4

 How did you integrate technologies-software hardware and online in this project?

For this question, I will discuss all technologies used, hardware, software's, and how I used the technologies used in production. All of these ideas were displayed in Mrs. Stoklosa's notes she provided on discussing our CCR questions. 

Script:

"Technologies, very interesting question. All the technologies I used were, a phone, Clipchamp, and Canva. The way we mainly got our lighting was through a flashlight who our main character toted around the entire film. The filming was simply on a phone and literally nothing else was used. Editing tools that were used were Clipchamp and it was very simple to use and affective. Graphic design was completely made in Canva with the use of premium very affective very productive. The only obstacles I ran into was using some of Clipchamp's editing tools as I have never run into it in previous projects such as the music video that was produced. Overall, the technologies I used went smoothly and editing, filming, graphic designing were all not a problem."

CCR Question #3

 How did your production skills develop throughout this project?

For this question, I will discuss the process throughout the production process, how I began research and planning, and a reflection on my progress throughout the project. All of this was instructed by my teacher Mrs. Stoklosa in her notes that she gave us. 

Script:

"So, how my skills developed, very good question thank you. Throughout this entire project I was able to develop my skills every step of the way. I began with brainstorming ideas in the areas I deeply enjoyed. Subsequently it fell into the horror genre, and I was able to expand on my idea in further story boards me and my partner created. Research began in the V/H/S, found footage era of horror and we soon discovered it would be somewhat too challenging to be able to expand on it and achieve that feeling of found footage so in the end we decided on a horror that isn't necessarily found footage but contains all of the conventions that would be found in a found footage. Planning was easy at first but as we continued, it became harder. By this I mean availability was rough and time management was very concise. We approached production first for a location, as soon as we found our location we built off our storyboard and began filming. We ran into a roadblock because our area of filming was closed mostly when we needed to film so we found alternative locations to film in which ended up working out. We initially started lost somewhat and we needed a settled starting point and eventually throughout the project we were able to find that starting point and we were able to develop on it in which we got our outcome of this film."

CCR Question #2

Question #2 How does your product engage with audiences, and how would it be distributed as a real media text?

In this CCR question, I plan on discussing typical target audiences, product choices, and content. I plan on using the notes Mrs. Stoklosa gave us in order to successfully answer all parts of the question.

Script:

"Soo continuing our questions from my fellow aficionado's, my product focuses on engaging with you guys. Me and Selena created this film in order to target people on the younger side, mostly 16-35. We plan to distribute our first film through beginner friendly sights such as YouTube. Making the film accessible to the public is very important because in order for us to actually succeed as film makers, we need all the reviews and support we can get. We honestly don't have high expectations for this film and that's honestly good because if we set our expectations low it will be easier for you guys to collectively boost our confidence in film making."

No sited research.

Editing #2

 Editing #2

So, unfortunately, we did only get the credit sequence done technically. We have input the credits where they are supposed to be, and the only problem were facing currently is that the font isn't correct. Not correct, as it doesn't fit the genre, and we need to find alternatives to change it to. We really used this opportunity to create the sequence and experiment with it to see what fits the best with what we were trying to achieve, and what we have so far is suiting us, but all we need is to find that font that we need.

This is what we currently have, as we aren't proud of how much editing we have done, but this upcoming week, we plan on finishing completely to focus on our CCR.
