CCR Q4 Research

Hello Blog Readers! 

Responding the final CCR question today! Here it is: How did you integrate technologies - software, hardware, and online - in this project? 

Once again, I will be writing today's post as a script in accordance with my CCR media style, essentially I am packing to go to Hawaii for Q3 and Paris for Q4. 

Let's dig in! 

START PART 2 (Answers Question 4)

Okay here it is! Big difference between my Hawaii suitcase huh? 

Because I'm going during spring break, Paris still tends to be freezing at this time of year (well at least for a Floridian like me). This bag is pretty much packed as well, I have my puffer jacket, long socks, and mittens. Oh and don't mind the mess in the corner over there, I still haven't cleaned up from filming my film opening the other day. Matter of fact, I might just do that now. 

Here's some of the hardware I used. First, of course there's tripod I used for shots where I had to tilt the camera, like the ones in the beginning and end. I would set my mom's iPhone 15  on here and use it to film as a camera. I know what you're thinking "What about your audio recording?" Well would you believe me if I said I recorded my voiceover using the mic on my wireless headphones? It's true! Here's the proof that you don't need any fancy equipment to get started as a filmmaker, just an idea and good problem-solving skills. 

Also, here's my laptop, which I used to edit my ENTIRE project from start to finish on the popular software Premiere Pro. If you're looking for something to edit on, I highly recommend you try it out! With just a few quick tutorials you can learn all the basic skills you need. Actually, before I got started on my project, I knew less about editing that I know about flying a plane. Now, I know how to edit match cuts, add cool transitions, and change the color grading of clips! Talk about new skills! 

As I'm getting excited for my trips, I can't help but getting in the mood for a vacation by listening to music and creating itineraries using ideas I found online. I actually did something similar while developing my film opening. You see, my protagonist is obsessed with travel, and loves scrolling on websites like travel + leisure. With the online world being so prominent today, I also used online tech like Canva to create this cute flyer for a college that my protagonist is being suggested, and Pixabay to find royalty-free ambient music like this: 

Oh my goodness I just got a notification that my flight to Hawaii leaves in two hours! I must've gotten the dates mixed up! Gotta go! 

END PART 2 

I hope you liked my script! I wanted to keep it playful and genuine, like a vlogger who is talking to her viewers. In tomorrow's post I will be discussing each of my CCR ideas is greater detail so it will make more sense! Bye for now!
