CCR Script

     My CCR script is finished! After brainstorming, I responded to each question as thoroughly and specifically as I could. I incorporated examples from other films, as well as shots and pictures from my own film process to make the CCR's entertaining.

CCR creation

     My CCR's are in progress. For one of them, I'm doing a slideshow on Canva with a voiceover. I'm minimizing the number of words on the slides but am in the midst of the official script. I am also incorporating several photos and graphics to make the presentation engaging. I'll include clips from my film to cut to as well.

    For my second video, I'm creating a video of myself answering "Google's most asked questions" about my film. I'll have a poster with the questions, the last portion of the question covered by a piece of paper I will peel off. Some clips from the film and background information will be incorporated. 

Group Meeting

     The group meeting went well! I enjoyed hearing about others' projects and where they are in the process. I also liked sharing my information and ideas, like my CCR creation. They liked the idea about the "Most asked questions" video since it's also popular on YouTube. This is an example: 

    I'll be creating a unique poster with my questions and also incorporating clips from my film, other films in my genre (Interstellar and Day After Tomorrow), and citing sources through screen recording the site. I look forward to filming this portion since perfecting the poster took some time.

Filming reflection

     My film opening relied on "in the moment" occurrences. I wanted my shots to feel intimate with nature and its' wildlife. Thankfully this went very well as I was able to capture multiple special moments. Sneak peak of some of my favorite shots: 

Changes

     I wanted to end my film opening with me walking into a building, slightly on a cliff hanger. However, the building at the location was locked so this was not possible. This is how the shot was going to appear.

    However, I decided to take a different approach for the ending. Instead of walking into the building, I walk to the fencing behind me and glance towards the water. It's clear I'm contemplating something, but the opening doesn't tell the audience specifically what. Also, it's implied that an important aspect of the film will happen next.
