CCR Production Idea

    In this post I will finally share my idea for the CCR. I have been pretty excited to write out this idea, since it has been in my head for the past few days now. Let's just get straight into it.

The First Video

    For my CCR, I want to make it entertaining. When we went through the presentation, it was heavenly implied to make it not boring. I want to have a comedic approach to my CCR because in the past I have found myself having the most fun using that approach. I want to have both videos be a continuous narrative, instead of two separate products that happen to continue the same set of questions.

    In this first part, I want to play the character of Texas Jacobs that seems to have forgotten that he had an interview scheduled. The interviewer would catch me about to leave my neighborhood, and in the spontaneity of the situation he has them get in his car and conduct the interview while he drives. He tells them that he is getting the band together again, and answer the first question with no incident. While I answers this question I will most likely include other media into it so it isn't just me talking while driving. I could include some clips from production and other stuff like that to keep it interesting and dynamic.

    After the first question, it happens. Texas Jacobs hits a pedestrian on accident. In raw panic, he decides to drive away and does not know what to do. I don't want this to be super serious, and kind of want it to be filmed similarly to that scene in The Office (2005) where Michael hits Meredith with his car.

The scene I'm talking about, skip to 45 seconds in:

    To cope with the stress, Texas Jacobs tells the interviewer to keep going with the questions. About halfway in to the second question, I want the cops to show up and start pursuing him. For the rest of this question, faint cop sirens and blue/red flashing lights will be present. Once the question is answered, I think this part will be end by Jacobs focusing more on losing them.

The Second Video

    I want the second video to begin with Jacobs in hiding, arguing with the interviewer. The interviewer can say something like "Why am I still here, I didn't even do anything!" Then Jacobs can say "You are an accomplice now, your best bet is to stay with me here! Just finish the interview!" The interviewer, annoyed, asks the question and Jacobs begins to answer it. Halfway through, they can see blue/red lights flash from outside the room, and Jacobs tells the interviewer to be quieter. In the rest of this interview, they speak with their inside voices. After the third question is answered, the cops get really close by, and the interviewer knocks something over. A cop goes "Is anyone in there? Show yourself!" Jacobs slowly turns around at the camera man disappointed, and it cuts to a gavel hitting three times on the table with a voice saying "Order in the court!"

    Jacobs and the interviewer have been arrested and are now in court. Knowing it is over for both of them, their attorney adjourned the hearing to plan what they will say. Jacobs says that they literally have the crime on video, and they might as well just finish the interview before they go to jail. This is when the final questioned is asked and answered. This video will finally end with an emotional montage of them going to jail. 

    I am really excited to make this CCR now that I have a fun idea, and I may actually film this weekend if everything goes to plan.

CCR Question 3

     This post will focus on the third question of the CCR. There actually won't be a post for the fourth question, since I uploaded a post on the group meeting we had yesterday in place of it. The fourth question is extremely straightforward and easy to answer anyway, so it won't hurt me that much if I don't prepare for it as much as the others. The third question goes as follows:

How did your production skills develop throughout this project?

Planning

    The blogs acted as a guideline for me during this project. They showed me where I needed to be for the planning phase, production, and post-production phase. They also helped me space out my time enough so I consistently made progress on it throughout each week. Although they take a lot of time to complete, they have kept me on track and prevented me from procrastinating. Let's start with the pre-production phase.

    For every production, you have to plan beforehand. Without planning, your production is bound to be low quality. This class has taught me the importance of pre-production. For me, the longest blog posts were the research ones. I really disliked having to do them, but in the end, they were valuable to the production of our project. They allowed me to take inspiration from similar films and see what does/doesn't work for the type of film we wanted to make. 

    After the research phase, scriptwriting and storyboarding were next. The research phase heavily influenced these processes. Our script would definitely have been hindered if it weren't for our research, and important things like loop motifs might not have been present if we did not know about them in the first place. This part of pre-production was a relative breeze once we all were on the same page. The only problem really just came down to how we wanted to structure the loop, but after we solved that we completed the script and storyboard in quick succession. Then came the general pre-production stuff, like how we wanted to incorporate audio, mise-en-scene, and character development. The blog posts leading up to this phase helped us significantly with figuring this out, and once again it was a pretty simple process.

Remember this? I do NOT miss trying to figure that out.

Production

    Our production for this project was extremely quick. We shot the entire thing in one day. Without our intense planning beforehand, this would not have been possible. We had the script act as a checklist for what we did or didn't film. We also didn't film in chronological order, like I usually do for my projects. Since it was a time loop, we filmed all of the shots for the different loops as each event happened. For example, we filmed multiple angles of T. Jacobs when he asked about the files at the same time to compensate for the multiple times it happened in the film. This saved us a lot of time in the end and was a big factor in why production went so fast.

    Another factor was the fact that we only needed to film at two locations. The first was the therapist's office (which we filmed at Grace's house) and the second was the parking lot outside of the therapist's office. We filmed those scenes at a nearby plaza. We filmed everything at each location before moving on to the next, which made the most sense. If we did film in chronological order we would have to drive back and forth between locations, which would be really annoying and time-consuming. All of these factors led to a quick and organized production.

Changes 

    We changed quite a few things during production. The first was the use of a cuckoo clock, which we changed to a digital one since Rachel already had one. The second was the outfit and nametag of T. Jacobs since we changed the overall vibe of my character and realized that he wouldn't wear a nametag at a place where he already worked. We also changed a line very slightly from "How does that make you feel?" to "How does IT make you feel?". This was because we had already filmed the first time Schultz said it, and in that shot, she said 'it' instead of 'that'. We did not feel like reshooting, so we just changed the line for the rest of the time Schultz said it. 

    We also changed the scene with T. Jacobs slightly so he gets waved off instead of setting the files on Dr. Schultz's table. We realized there was no room for me to place the files on the table without it being awkward, so we just altered the scene slightly to that. In the end, I think it helped showcase Schultz's character better, and was a positive change overall.

The clock we ended up using:

Reflection

    I would certainly say the skills that I have improved the most during this project are organization and proper planning.  I have always been really unorganized when it came to actually filming, and I never really made a script or storyboard for any of my other projects in the past before this class. The most I would do was write a brief outline of what I wanted to happen in my notes app to guide me. I used to just get everyone together and essentially wing it as we went. This typically ended up producing less professional and lower-quality products.

    With this project, however, I have finally understood the importance of pre-production. If you are filming a decent-sized production, all of the shots kind of blend together in your head amidst the chaos. Order is super important, and I don't know where we would be if we did not have the script to act as a checklist. In the past, I would commonly realize I missed a shot or two when editing, and it would often be too late to shoot any more footage. Now I am significantly better at understanding how to research, as well as how to plan and stay organized during production.

Group Meeting #2

     Today in class we did another group meeting. This meeting was a little bit different from the last one since we were not completely introducing our projects. This time, we introduced what the project is about in broad terms, and mainly focused on how our productions are going so far. Most of us showed off actual footage of our projects and got some advice from each other. We also talked a little about our CCR ideas and brainstormed together a bit to help hatch some. This post will be structured similarly to the last group meeting post, so let's get into it.

    The first member of our group that I am going to talk about is Aneesa. She was in my last group meeting, and her project was the one where the planet was about to collide with Earth. I saw some changes to her project and also got to see some clips of it in action. The title used to be Rogue, but now it has changed to "Ataraxia", which means a state of serene calmness. This is due to the nonchalant nature of the protagonist in her film while everything around her is chaotic. She showed us the second half of her project and the shot that the planet would be edited in. It looks really good so far! She was still deciding on what her CCR might look like and was debating on possibly doing a hot ones-style video. That is the YouTube series where a celebrity is interviewed while eating hot wings.

    The second group member who spoke was Nikita. The title of his project is still in the works, but he is thinking about calling it "Visionary". It is about Henry Flagler, a historical figure prominent in building the railroads of Florida. The intro would be him imagining a future where Florida's railroads are being built. He showed us a match cut where it goes from a newspaper image into a scene, which I thought was a cool idea. We gave him some ideas on how to make it flow a bit better to achieve the desired effect using keyframes. He is not sure how to do his CCR yet, but we came up with some funny ideas. One of them is him robbing a bank, but inside the vault are the answers to the CCR questions.

    Next up is Dylan. His project is called "Mid Night". It has really heavy The Fast and the Furious (2001) vibes from what he showed us. It seems to start off with a car meet that quickly turns into a police chase. The cool thing with the production of it was that he got around 30 of his friends to coordinate a car meet just to shoot for this project. He also somehow got an actual cop to use his cop car and act in the film. Very cool large-scale production! He is still conceptualizing his CCR as of right now.

These are some pictures of his massive production I found on his blog:

    After him was Ramos. He is still coming up with the title of his project, but I think the premise of it is actually pretty cool. It is about what professional athletes go through when they have an injury and how it impacts their career. The opening would be the protagonist training really hard after his injury, and while training he would have a flashback to when he got the injury in the first place. He was thinking about having his CCR happen while he races his friends.

    The final person in my group other than me was Gonzalo. His project is titled "Insider" and is about someone trying to escape their kidnapper. It would start off with the classic trope where it is in the middle of the film, and the next scene would go back to the beginning of the story. For his project, it would begin with the protagonist being tied up in the bathroom, and trying to escape before being attacked. After this attack, it would flashback to the protagonist on a fishing trip which (if it were an actual film) would then lead up to the events we just saw. In his CCR he is going to bake brownies with a friend while answering the questions. Very cool!

    When I went, I pretty much explained the premise of my project and showed them some transitions we had finished while also telling them what was to come. I also made the point of explaining why when the loop happens, the same scene needed to be shot differently in order to keep it interesting. The reception was pretty good, and they gave some tips on how to fix the lighting in some of the shots. I then explained my CCR idea to them and my teacher, and they thought it was really good. I am so happy because I was not sure what they would think about it. I will do a whole blog post explaining the idea for my CCR later this week, so keep your eyes out for that. 

    That pretty much concludes the second group meeting blog post! It was really fun hearing what other people were making and brainstorming with them on ideas for their CCR. Before I end the post, I do want to mention something. Our teacher said if we were good on our blog posts so far (like if we aren't missing any) then we could just upload the group meeting post in place of one of the CCR questions. I will be uploading this in place of CCR question 4. This is because that is the easiest to answer. I will be using these blog posts to make my script, so I want to blog about only the hardest questions to make that process easier. I will see you tomorrow with my now final CCR question post!

CCR Question 2

This is the second of the four CCR posts I will be doing. Before I start yapping, here is the given second question.

How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?

    Just like the last question (and the rest of them), our teacher broke it down into a more simpler concept. That concept would be audience engagement techniques and distribution. I have written down in my notes how to approach answering this question.

    If you cannot decipher my chicken scratch, it is ok. It is an acquired skill that my teachers eventually learn throughout each year I'm unfortunately in their class. Here is what the notes say if you are not trying to read all of that:

• Discuss how you arrived at your target audience - cite necessary research
• Discuss how your production choices, content, etc. work to engage with your target audience
• Next, discuss how you plan to make your film available to audiences
• Response should address realistic options for an amateur filmmaker. For example, you would not release your film worldwide to theatres, this is only an option for major productions.

    Alright, you got all of that? Good.

Target Audience

    For how we arrived at our target audience, I once again cannot use the research for what I have blogged about. Let me do some quick research on dramas then...

    

    That, in fact, was not quick. Little did I know, drama is very difficult to research when it comes to target audience. Drama is a very widespread genre and usually covers a vast range of topics. Each topic may identify with a different target audience so it is a little hard to get a definitive answer. It also is typically combined with different types of genres which further complicates this research.

How it feels looking for any reliable information related to target audience in drama films:

    I did (after an hour of searching) find SOMETHING that was not an AICE Media blog or Wikipedia page that I could actually reference. In an article focusing on target audience as a whole, I found the following statement "The 25-39 age cohort exhibits a broader spectrum of preferences, leaning toward a mix of action, comedy, drama, and romantic genres." I have finally found it. I feel like I have discovered Atlantis or something. Let me get into actually answering that question now...

    Based on my research, the age range of 25-39 is what the typical drama film attracts. This is because drama resonates more with mature audiences that enjoy emotional and thought-provoking productions. Since our project is centered around a young adult, and in the last post I mentioned relatability pretty heavily, I would say the target audience for our film would be young adults. So that would be around age 20-25. That may be a little bit younger than the typical drama target audience, but this is more of a fast-paced production focusing on the time loop side of things while still maintaining character development and deeper themes. With that being said, let's move on to how our production choices engage with the target audience.

    This opening throws you straight into the conflict with the time loop occurring a little over a minute in. Now I am not going to lie, it is turning out to be a little faster-paced than planned, but this is the best we could do with the clips we got from production. I still am proud of how it flows, though. The quick pacing, relatable protagonist, and crazy scenario she is put in all contribute to engaging with the target audience. The quick pacing is more suited to a young adult audience since a more active scene typically resonates with this group more. The relatability of our protagonist would pull in similar age groups, which is seen all around the film sphere. People feel more connected to others that they can relate to, so naturally this would be the case when it comes to the target audience of our project as well. Scenarios like time loops resonate with 18-24 year olds since they "often translate into a love for adrenaline-pumping action films, sci-fi adventures, and fantasy epics." This age range further aligns with the target age range of 20-25. Time loops are a sci-fi element and the implementation of this loop within the production supplements engagement with our target audience.

Distribution

    If we are thinking about distributing this film to others, we need to realistically think about our options. As I mentioned in my notes, "..you would not release your film worldwide to theatres, this is only an option for major productions." If we take our target audience and budget into consideration, I only really see one option for distribution: YouTube. YouTube has the most potential for success if we want to get our film out there since it is completely free to upload on it and it's the most suitable platform for our target audience. 

    As you can see, around 37.3% of users' ages range from 18 to 34. A good portion of that is our target audience, as well as the general target audience for drama as a whole. With the knowledge that such a good portion of people on this massive social media platform fit our target audience, it has the most chance of engagement here rather than other social media platforms. Plenty of other short films have been uploaded to YouTube in the past, and independent filmmakers who posted them have made a name for themselves through this distribution tactic. If our film were to go at least somewhat viral, we would have a following that we could keep hyped for future productions. This would be the perfect way to begin our journey as independent filmmakers, and if we did get any traction, it would boost us for each new production afterward.

    This post will also serve as a nice guideline for when I make my script for the CCR. Things are prone to change in the final product but, generally speaking, I will have the same kind of answers for this question.

CCR Question 1

     The deadline for the Portfolio Project is approaching fast, and now is the time for our Creative Critical Reflection. This will consist of two products that I need to create myself that answer four different questions. The products that we make for this CCR are very open-ended, so as of right now, I am still figuring out how I will actually answer them on camera. I have some ideas floating around, but for this post, I will just stick to figuring out how to answer the first question.

How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?

    Now isn't that the question of the day. When our teacher presented this, she pretty much narrowed this thing down to two concepts that need discussing: genre and representation. She made a very good point about how we should not have to spend time researching this question since we have already blogged about those topics in the pre-production phase. Phew, that's a relief, isn't it? Let me just check that post... Oh yeah, I forgot, we changed genres AFTER I did those research posts. This might be the most heartbreaking moment of the whole project. You see, I had originally researched genre conventions on psychological horror/horror, and we changed it to sci-fi/drama. I am dreading doing any more research, as that was my least favorite and most time-consuming part of this project. But let me just shut up and lock in because this assignment is due tonight.

All of that work...

Genre Conventions We've Used/Not Used

    One quick Google later, and I have found a nice list of some sci-fi genre conventions. Here they are below:

    .....wow, we barely used any of these.

    Except for one: time travel. I think that is pretty much self-explanatory, and in the CCR I will probably talk about how we blended the sci-fi aspect of time travel into a more drama-focused narrative. Most of the themes in this opening are more drama-like, anyway, so let's focus more on that for now. After a little bit more research, I have found some drama conventions. Here they are below:

    Now we are getting somewhere. Our project definitely aligns more with drama, since if it was a real film, it would showcase Alice's character development. There is most definitely intense social interaction because Alice is almost constantly interacting with others throughout this opening. The heart of this drama is most definitely the conflict, which is the time loop and trying to stop it. The inner struggles of Alice's family issues overlap with the outer struggles of the time loop. This is because the outer struggle being the time loop is set only during her therapy session, which is all about addressing her inner struggles. The audience can relate to Alice since she is stressed out and is reacting how most people probably would in this scenario.

    The main thing that we have deviated from is the real-life situation, the climaxes/anti-climaxes, and the happy ending. This situation is not something that commonly happens in real life, but Alice as a character reacts realistically. There are no climaxes/anti-climaxes because this is the film opening, not the whole film. We are not producing an entirely completed story with this project. The happy ending isn't present, because yet again, this is just a film opening. I will end up creating a script for this, but for now, I think this information sufficiently covers the genre section of this question once I flesh it out more.

Representation

    This part of the question is a little bit harder to answer. I think when it comes down to it, I really just need to talk about why we made our characters act the way they did. I need to answer why we made Alice stressed and zoned out, and why we made Dr. Schultz, a therapist, so apathetic. Well, let's answer them then real quick.

    For Alice, we wanted to have a character that others could relate to. We didn't make her a perfect person who knows exactly how to deal with any problem thrown at her but instead went for someone who is more realistic and distressed about what is going on. I mean, if you all of a sudden got stuck in a time loop, you would probably react the same way; stressed out and trying to figure out what is even happening in the first place. She is dealing with some pretty heavy family issues as well, and anyone who has been through that as well can further identify with her. She is a young adult, clearly stressed from adulthood, and therapy simply is not helping. When coming up with this character, Maiya had even mentioned that she was in therapy before but it didn't really help at all for her. That had a big influence on both Alice's character and Schultz's as well. Being disengaged from therapy makes having to go to it much worse and feels like a chore rather than something that will help you long term.

    We then wanted to make Dr. Schultz a completely apathetic therapist to make this situation much more nightmarish than it already would have been. Therapists are supposed to help with mental health and be sympathetic to the patient to make them feel supported. Dr. Schultz is quite the opposite of that. She seems annoyed and apathetic to Alice and acts fake when she gives her a speech about why she should be in therapy. Having the therapist act like this helps add to the conflict and stress of the situation. Her character really makes Alice feel alone and isolated from any support or help that she may have received if Schultz were a good therapist. People in the real world with jobs that are meant to help others aren't always good at their jobs. I am sure everyone has dealt with someone like this, and that is the reason we made her like that.

    The way we have represented our characters really just stems from personal experience. This helps the audience relate to the protagonist and further reinforces the drama aspect of it all. This just about covers the first question. I will make changes when I eventually create the actual script. But for now, this serves as a nice guideline for that process.

The Credit Effect

     Ok, I have still not yet received the file for editing, but I won't let that stop me from taking this time to learn how to achieve this effect in Premiere Pro. So without further ado, let's get right into it.

The Tutorial

     When talking about this idea to other people who understand editing thoroughly, they typically have told me that I should use After Effects instead of Premiere. This is because After Effects has much better tracking tools that would make it easier to attach the credits to different surfaces. This sounds like it would be the play, but there are two issues with that idea. One is that I have never used After Effects in my life. Second is the way we have chosen to split editing among the group. If I saved the file and moved it over to After Effects, I'm pretty sure it would count as one video instead of all the separate clips that it would look like in Premiere. This would make it much harder for Maiya's turn to edit if the clips weren't separate.

    When I first mentioned the idea of implementing the credits into the environment, my group supported the idea. I was pretty excited that they were immediately open to that style of credits, and Maiya even went as far as to send me a tutorial on how to achieve it in Premiere Pro. That is perfect because it means I can still do it on Premiere even though it may be slightly more difficult. This leads to the actual tutorial, where I will take some notes on it to demonstrate what I have learned from it.

Tutorial:

Notes:

• Premiere is less powerful in automatic tracking tools, but there still are some options available
• Still frames are what you want if you are trying to achieve this effect on Premiere
• In the effects control tab, you can change the scale to maintain continuity with distance of the surface
• There are 3D options in the perspective folder, but you should really use the corner pin effect in the distort folder
• Once this effect is selected, you can drag the corners to distort the perspective however you want until it aligns with the target surface
• If there is camera shake, then you can use the warp stabilizer effect to smooth out the shot to make this process easier
• The warp stabilizer effect is also available in the distort folder
• If that does not work, the best course forward is to manually keyframe it (I already understand keyframes, so I won't be writing notes for this section.)
• Keyframes come with a lot of trial and error, but with enough time spent with it it can look perfect
• Another way to track is by using mask tracking
• The way it works is that if you need something in a specific area that moves throughout a scene, (in this tutorial it is a logo in a man's backpack) then properly place it where you want on the first frame of the clip and press play on the mask tracking option.
• This will autogenerate tracking to the item throughout the clip without the need for keyframes
• Mask tracking only works for 2D tracking

What Did We Learn

    After watching that tutorial, I have realized that this will be much easier than I thought. The only part that would be "difficult" is just the tedium of manual keyframing (Which I may not even need to do). I can deal with that. Now that I have learned how to do this process, I can just refer back to the notes on this blog when I finally receive the file and start editing. Things are looking up!

Here is a bonus time-lapse of Grace's actual editing on Premiere that she just sent today:

The Editing Dilemma (I'm scared)

    Editing. You either love it or hate it. I love it, but there is one small issue. That issue is our scheduling. We are supposed to upload two post-production-themed posts by Sunday, and I have not started yet. However, there is a reason for that. To give context on what is going on, for the music video project I did absolutely zero editing. This was because our group member, Grace, is in CBTV and is the most familiar and skilled with professional editing in Adobe Premiere. I really enjoy editing, though, and even though I may not have as much experience I really wanted to be involved in that process for this project. There is something about having separate clips and editing them together into one cohesive video that is just so satisfying to me. I usually take forever to edit, because I learn how things work as I do it which is surprisingly fun. I never stop until it is perfect in my mind, because I am a chronic perfectionist. Before I yap for too much longer, let me explain the dilemma.

    Before we even started the project, I asked if I could be more involved in the post-production process. Grace of course said yes, and then the rest of my group also wanted in on it. This was actually good to hear since editing does take a long time and nobody would have to spend a ton of time on it individually. The only problem with this is there is no group editing feature. The way we decided to handle this was by each member of the group editing the file at a time. So for example, Grace would edit at the beginning, then Rachel, then me, and then finally Maiya. (Imagine how hard this sentence would be to write if I never disclosed their names) The only issue was we underestimated how long it would take to edit. At the time of writing this, I still have not received the file yet. Now don't take this as me complaining about my group members, because I understand how long it can take and don't blame anyone. We all underestimated the time it would take us to edit our individual parts and thought we would easily have it done by the end of this weekend. That has turned out to not be the case.

    So here is what I will do for the post-production posts instead. For the rest of this post, I will explain each of our members' roles in the post-production process. Grace is editing the general project together. So far, she is pretty much finished. Rachel is focusing on all of the audio elements. I will be focusing on the credit sequence and trying to achieve that Grand Theft Auto IV (2008) credit effect I have been yapping about for so long now. It looks very difficult, but I love learning new editing techniques so it's fine and I will try my best. Maiya will be focusing on the lighting aspect of the whole project. So far Grace has pretty much finished her part, so she has sent it to Rachel. Once Rachel is done, then Grace will get it back and quickly finish up her part and send it over to me. Once I am done, I will send it over to Maiya, and after she is done Grace will look over it with her CBTV expertise and make any tweaks that are needed. I assure you, mine will be so good she won't even need to change any of it. I hope. (It looks scary, I'm scared.)

    

Here are some time-lapses of Grace editing in the meantime:

    Next post I will detail my learning process on how to achieve that credit effect. It will surely be an arduous process, but I will not let that stop me! (It is so over for me)
