Day 35: CCR4

Hello hello hello!! I hope you're having a fantastic day and today I'll be answering my last question of the CCR. I plan to film on Saturday and Sunday this weekend and will edit in the coming week, so let's get into it!

  • How did you integrate technologies – software, hardware and online – in this project?

  • During this project I borrowed my friend Mia's camera to film pretty much my whole project. Mia was so so generous to let me borrow it and put her trust in me not to break it... But I love the results from the camera and I think that the quality is much better than my phone camera ever would have been. 

    I borrowed the Canon EOS Rebel T7 and the tripod that came with it. I also used my phone to film the voice over and my piano piece.


    In this video, I was helping Mia film her project, so here you can see the tripod, camera, mic, and light. For the use of my project, I only used the tripod and camera.

    As for my software, I used blogger to write about my whole process from start to finish. 

    I also relied HEAVILY on Canva for mood-boards, fonts, and of course, editing my opening. Because I'm super comfortable with Canva, I had no problem navigating, and my teacher provided me with access to Canva Pro, which gave me access to a billion different fonts, elements and more. 

    As I mentioned before, I did struggle a bit while editing with Canva. After making my initial rough-cuts, I watched it back just to see that there were many, many jump-cuts throughout. Initially, I freaked, but then I thought about switching to ClipChamp or Adobe Premier Pro (which isn't supported by my Chromebook). 

    Before making the final decision, I downloaded the project to my laptop just to find that there were no issues with jump-cuts, so I continued to edit on Canva as usual.

    For sound, I also used Pixabay and to find the keyboard typing sound and Voicemod Tuna to find the alarm clock sound. 

    There is one more resource that I used to find inspiration for some of my mise-en-scene elements, which was none other than Pinterest. I found that this was super helpful to create a rough idea of what vibes I wanted Maia's character to give off as well as find fonts for the title card (that I, sadly, didn't end up using...). 

    You can view my production logo mood board here. As well as my overall Maia: Unfiltered mood board here.

    That's all for my CCR research/planning!! I hope you enjoyed and I'll catch you on the next one!
