Week 8

 CCR is a closed deal!

WE FINISHEDDDD THE CCR!!!! YAYYYY…Javi and and finished the CCR and we can’t believe how amazing it turned out. We ended up doing a podcast and also doing a video and in the video we added some fillers as in questions that weren’t part of the 4 questions but that were related to our movie. We wanted to act like we were doing a. your around the set that we filmed in and showed the behind the scenes to make it seem like we’re interacting with the fans and the audience answering questions that they want to know the answer to. But also while we’re doing that we also answered the question. The podcast was so fun to make because we really expressed everything that we wanted through our words and we really liked how the process of the podcast went.

The original plan was to do a podcast and an interview but why not just do a podcast where we know what to say since it’s not showing us talking and it helped us answer the question in more depth as it allowed us to have more time and think before answering. But overall the CCR was a complete success and i couldn’t have done it without the help of javi. Also we thought it will be a good idea to put our personalities in the vid in making some funny jokes through the ccr and just to be ourselves.

 Transitioning into CCR

We finished!!!!! We finally finished filming and the great thing is we already edited half of the project so were not far behind as we just need to film the cleaning up part and also just add the credits with the title. Also speaking of the title we weren't really sure where we're gong t place it as we want tit to fit perfectly with the flow of the film. At first, we wanted to put it at the end since our film has a cliffhanger we can just put the title right there but after further discussions with Mrs.Stocklosa she thought it will be better to put the title right before we wake up in the morning from the phone since its nice and sunny and it gives visual representation of what the film is about. 

But before having tat discussion we brought up how we had the idea during the filming process how we wanted to put the scene  in the begining when it shows the establishing shot of it turning night from day and then above the house we put the tittle as the character is walking into the house. We think that's also a really cool idea but when we edit the rest of the opening we're going to try both and just see which ones better. Transitioning into the ccr Javi and I decided to change the orginal plan and create a script nd do a podcast with just our voices and also do a blog of us showing the BTS of the house and where everything was filmed while answering the questions.

 Update on Filming 

So this is an update on what our filming schedule is looking like.. So after our successful first day of filming we needed to get props for the second half of the film meaning all of the cups and all the extra characters that will be in the opening. We also ordered stuff on amazon to be in the film but unfortunately 2 of our partners had to work all weekend so we couldn’t film but we had to wait for the props that we bought to arrive also so it really didn’t affect us in any way. We finished the first half of editing adding all the freeze frame shots and all the cool editing and tricks we wanted to add to it in the original plan.

We’re running a little behind as we like but that’s why we text in our group chat that we have and we like to exit together to drop and throw big ideas in the air to help our editing be faster but more efficient. Also when we film we film all day as in we take out time with our filming and we get it all done in half a day. We believe this is the best idea as through your the entire filming process we can change some shots because ideas come through our head. We are going to be done filming by this weekend also editing by this week.

 Filming day!!

finally, last night was our first filming day, and it went amazing!!! we went on a call a few hours before everybody came over to discuss the final planning so when we get to the house, we set up and film and attack the plan. We had a few changes to the project as in the original plan. The plan was to have a party and have a bunch of people over. But the plan changed by having the same plot twist at the end with the whole cleaning up situation but instead we switched up filming all of the characters before the party, as in setting it up and introducing the characters. we felt like this was the best idea as in we had no other people to come over as everybody is out of town for spring break so we quickly had to create a different plan, but with the same idea.

this is us filming the establishing shot before we walk into the house to introduce all the characters

it was an amazing first day of filming as we already got half the filming done with the whole, introducing the characters and applying all the angles in shots that we wanted to do in the original plan. with the cleaning part on the second part of the film, that is where we want to execute all of what we learn this year in ace media class, and just apply all the shots, angles, and sounds. In the the first half of the film it’s more of just introducing the characters so we didn’t really apply everything that we know into the first half of the film as much as we are going to do in the second half of the film but we still I don’t really cool shots that we think the audience would like in the first half of the film.

so overall, we had a really great filming day and we added the new creative ideas that we originally didn’t want to do but turns out they were actually really good shots and we believe we transitioned really well from the original plan because we had some difficulties executing it as we couldn’t get extra characters inside the film, which was in the original idea. I can’t wait to film the second part of the film as that’s probably going to be the funnest part and the part where it will show the audience what the whole point of the intro is about

Week 7 blog(CCR)

 CCR Creation 

As we start transition to the final pieces to our filming and we start discussing our CRR, So what I was thinking is that I can partner with Javier and help each other with the CCR as in previous blogs I was discussing different techniques on how to address the 4 questions that were assigned to us. For example in the sample that Mrs. Stoklosa showed us in class and one of the examples was a person filming the girl and her walking around and talking about the questions while its being hand held from another person. So what I was thinking was Javi and I help each other film each other while one id doing thr questions, kind of like a youtube video. 

An example of what it will look like when we film the CCR as we will help each other film but instead it will be hand held and there will be a lot of tracking shots as I want the video to be really active and really engaging with audience. 

Also in my previous blogs when I talked about how I want to pursue these questions and for one the second one I wanted to do a podcast because we can be ourselves in it and also add some of our humor into it. We will have a desk withy headphones and mics and we will have the phone on a tripod filming the both of us. This includes Javier by him interviewing me and me answering the questions. 

This is exactly how the podcast will look like as we will setup a tripod and film from there. We will also be wearing headphones because in a podcast we feel like that's the most important piece in this whole process and also we will setup fake mics in front of us.
