CCR script

 Script:

For my CCR, I wanted to make it somewhat entertaining, and not just dreadful to listen to. Because of that, in addition to this script, I will be adding many visuals, and voiceovers to keep the audience interested.

Editing!

 This is really the first time I have edited a visual piece of media ever. It was a little nerve-racking at first, but choosing to use i-movie really saved me. Although i-movie didn't have the most resources, it made editing my project fairly easy. I had no idea what to expect going into editing, so I searched up "easiest editing softwares for beginners", and on almost all of them, they had i-movie, so that was the one I choose. Each of the icons on i-movie were clearly labeled, and told you their exact purpose. I didn't expect Apple to have the best fonts for the credits, but I was pleasantly surprised to see what a wide variety they had. After many different font trials, I found the perfect one. These were my final 4 options.

I think that the "Posterboard" font at the end of the day just fit best for the credits. I was heavily considering "Handwriting- Dakota" for a while, but realized it just didn't work as well as the the one I went with. I have finished editing, and cannot wait to show my final project!

Final Day of Filming!

 Finally, the day has come! My final day of filming my. film opening. Connor came to my house around 6:00pm to film, and we started right away so the sun didn't set before we could film outside. Filming went exactly according to plan. I wanted my scenes with Connor to feel natural, so I gave him a general outline of what to say, but wanted to improv most of it. Here is that outline:

Overall I really couldn't have asked for someone better to film with than Connor. He did exactly what I told him to do, so filming with him was a pleasure. Here are some shots from filming:

Reshoots!

Since I am still waiting on Connor to film, I decided to get all of the reshoots I need out of the way. There were only a 2: fish shot, and the face close up. Im sure there will be more, but for now those were the only ones I needed to do.

Film Day 3

 Today I realized I was missing the closeups of Axl's guitar and him playing it. Filming this was extremely easy, and did not take me long at all. I learned how to play the song on guitar, so when I am editing, it should line up with the music. I think that this small detail will make it seem more realistic. 

Scheduling conflict!

 .I was planning on filming the scene with Axl and his bandmate today, but due to some personal issues, Connor was unable to make it today. This is not the end of the world, it just sets me back a little for time for editing. I will be filming with him next week. In the meantime, I will be finishing up the rest of the shots where Axl is alone. I also need to re-shoot the shot of my fish because you can see my phone in the glare. That's all for now, I will update soon.

Film day 2

For my second day of filming, I decided to do most of the shots of just Axl. This is just him jamming out on guitar in his room as we see the credits. For the shot shown in the first photo, I ran into one major obstacle; there was not enough room in between my bed and my wall to Place the camera. I ended up taking down one side of my blinds to place the tripod on the ledge of my window, and I think it worked out pretty well.
