Victor's Blog: CCR PRODUCTION

Okay, it's the final week. It's time to produce the CCR. This part of the project presents two videos answering our teacher's suggested questions. I'd been working on a couple of ideas the previous few days.

CCR 1 (answers to questions 1 and 2)

I did an interview format. It's an invitation to the director and actor of my opening (that's me!) to a YouTube show. My cousin Daniel Velazquez played the host and did a great job. We filmed on the same set where I filmed part of the opening, but we used my TV screen as the background. In it, I played a show ID I made in Canva and scenes from the Opening.

As a prop, I printed the show ID so Daniel could have it in his hand, as TV hosts generally do.

I included audience chat participation and generated the comment screens using Canva. I also designed some graphics to enhance the post-production.

These are some of the technical specifications:

Cameras: 2 iPhones. One moving and the other fixed on a tripod.

Microphones: Ambient

Lighting: Warm spotlight.

Although I wrote a script, we improvised a lot. I remember mentioning some sources from my research, and then we cut to re-film. It felt like an interview, and my cousin gave it a lot of credibility.

CCR Part 2 (questions three and four)

For the second video of my CCR, I decided to do something a little different. Interview me?

I separated two characters—the host and Victor—behind and on the screen of my film. The answers related to the last two questions our instructor asked for this part of the assignment. So, with the help of a tripod and my mom, I recorded myself in two different positions but wearing the same costume in my opening.
