CCR Production

Hey blog, The CCR production is going very well. I finished shooting the first CCR on Saturday, and I'm scheduled to shoot the second CCR tomorrow. Honestly, I feel very good about the first one. I like how fast I finished shooting, and I hope it looks good after post-production. But I do feel very confident about it.

CCR 1 Production:

For my first CCR, I asked my friend (Winston), who has a really nice car, to help me out with the CCR. This nice car is crucial for the idea that I had in mind, which is, me walking around and seeing a nice car. I go up to the owner and compliment the car, he thanks me, recognizes me, and asks if I want to take a spin in his car while he asks me some questions. I accept and hope in.

During the production process, we came across a few inconveniences, which led us to reshoot multiple times. Some of these were running out of space, recording the intro vertically instead of horizontally, talking for too long, etc.

The first day, my friends and I went out to eat right after school on Friday, and after we ate, we went to drop off one of our friends. As we did that, I asked him if I could film the introduction scene at his house, and he said yes. Since this was right after school, I didn't have the camera with me so I decided to just do it on my phone. I finished the introduction in like two minutes and we drove around while Winston asked me questions. Unfortunately, during one of the questions, my phone ran out of storage, which forced us to postpone the CCR production.

Winston picked me up again on Saturday morning, and we reshot everything, but this time, the only thing that was recorded on my phone was the introduction, the rest was shot on the Sony A6400 camera. After we finished production, he dropped me off at my house, and I began to edit the clips together. I realized that I recorded the introduction scene vertically and not horizontally and that the video was way too long, it was 8 almost 9 minutes. So, I told him this, and naturally, he was mad, but I told him we had to reshoot, and he said that he would pick me up in 5 minutes to finish it.

Winston picked me up, and we went to 7-Eleven because he needed to get gas. So I just filmed the introduction there, and I did it horizontally this time. After this, we drove around for about an hour and finished the whole thing, and the scenes seemed much shorter because I summarized what I had to say by a lot. As we were getting close to finishing up, the camera did, so the only thing I didn't film was the outro. When I got home, the first thing I did was charge my camera and film the outro. After this, I combined the scenes and made sure it was good on time. It was just under 3 minutes! 

Anyway, that is all for the CCR production currently. I will continue with production tomorrow. How Exiting!
