CCR Production

I have just begun the production portion of my CCR's. While at first I was a bit nervous as I wasn't sure what I wanted to do, or if i would have enough time, after developing my ideas and beginning to film them, I feel much better about this part of my project.

I begun yesterday, Tuesday, with my first idea: The documentary-style interview.

For this idea I used my mini mics to act as if I am being interviewed as a famous director. For the set, I used one of my friend's black backdrop as the background and I placed one chair in front of it. Off-screen, I had my friend act as my interviewer, also using a mini mic. For the camera, I used a tripod to hold it up, placing it on the dining table that was before me. Under the camera, I had my computer with my script on a teleprompter so that I could read my lines without it appearing as if I was looking off-screen. 

Testing the mic:

As my friend and I were helping each other to film our CCR's, we decided to split them into two days. One for each on Tuesday, and the last two on Wednesday. This was so we could get all of them done quickly and efficiently. 

So, on Wednesday, we filmed my second and last idea:  Google's "Most Asked Questions" 

Similar to the Wired interviews of famous actors, on Youtube, I created a board with peel-off questions which I answered as the director of my film opening. Similar to the first CCR, I used the same black backdrop and mini mics, as well as the tripod holding my camera up. 

I began by creating the actual board with the questions,  printing the questions, the Google logo, and the search bar.
