CCR Part 2

 Today I finally completed my second CCR'S script! 

It did take me longer than I had anticipated. The first thing I did was break up the two questions being asked into multiple parts. 

• How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?
• How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text? 

After that, I started my script. I decided to use word instead of Celtx Since the information is divided. I think re-reading the paragraphs will make it easier to memorize, as apposed to one long script. It was hard to keep in mind that most of this had to be memorized. I also caught myself forgetting I would be doing my makeup while speaking. This makes it a bit hard to attempt to read off a paper or screen, although I wasn't planning on doing so.

While I was creating the script, I listened to Bailey Sarians video to gain a little inspiration on how to make it all flow. I also watched some CCR examples provided to us.

After re-reading it an exceptional amount of times, I'd say it sounds great!

Here's just a little snip of what it looks like, can't wait to make it come to life!

CCR Part 1

Today, 

I worked on my first choice of media for the last two questions for the CCR. 

The powerpoint took me some time but I believe it did a rather good job at outlining the steps I went through to get to where I am now. 
 

I divided the two questions into 7 different slides, 14 all together and 1 reflective slide. Some slides contained minimal information so that the voiceover I Import contains the bulk of information, while others are more in depth visually/written as well.

For the both questions asked, I broke them down into multiple parts, making the information more understandable and organized. For instance, for the question "How did your production skills develop throughout this project?" I organized the slides by....

• Research and planning
• Initial approach to concept
• Final approach to concept
• Initial approach to video
• Final approach to video
• Obstacles
• An overall reflection at the end

For the question "How did you integrate technologies – software, hardware and online – in this project?" I organized the slides by the different types of technologies I used throughout. For example for hardware, I used tripods and an IPhone. For online I used Shuffles, Blogger, Youtube, Celtx, etc.

I have all my slides completed, now I just have the voiceover left!

Something different

Hi guys, 

 I had a random idea for my CCR that could potentially be a success. I watching YouTube once again but I was getting tired of watching makeup tutorials. Since my feed and algorithm is mainly focused on celebrity get ready with me's, I also see other things they partake in like interviews. I stumbled upon something I thought was ridiculous but still very interesting. 

Now,

before I get into what it was, let me give you some background information about my family. As I added in my description, I come from various cultures. Cuban, Hungarian, Jamaican, and of course, American. Every part of my family is extremely different, yet they all had one thing in common, their love for food. I grew up eating all sorts of different things. From Rice and Beans to Palacsinta to Oxtail to a Fresh Burger. I'm most definitely a foodie. One thing all my cultures food have in common is the importance of spices. This was my attempt of clever transition to...HOT ONES

Hot ones is an American YouTube talk show created by Christopher Schonberger. Its involves celebrities being interviewed while they consume increasingly spicy chicken wings.Throughout the consumption of the wings, Christopher asks celebrities questions about their films and rumors. While doing so, pictures are added on top of the conversation.

For example, Pedro Pascal was asked about his friendship with Nicholas Cage and this image was shown

 I believe this is a fun and intriguing way to answer the questions above. As I mentioned before, spices are rather important to my family, thus I already have hot sauces for the wings. I'll let you guys know if i decide to take part of this wild idea.

The rivalry of idea #2

 

Hey everyone,

I'm still in a pickle for my second media form. The two questions I will be answering in this media form are 

• How did your production skills develop throughout this project?
• How did you integrate technologies – software, hardware and online – in this project?

Although the powerpoint would give me more time to work on both and will probably be the smarter option,  the interview would be so fun and I can envision it. Let's find the answer!

Option 1: Power point Presentation (Slides containing visuals and information)

Pros- 

• A way to present my information in an organized way
• Easy to use while still being effective
• Quick for time management

Cons-

• It may be a tad boring
• I will need to learn more about it to make my presentation visually interesting

Option 2: Bucket Interview (Interview in which the main person holds a bucket and picks out questions from it)

Pros- 

• Enjoyable collaborative process
• Easy to film

Cons-

• Needs an interviewer which may be difficult to find (everyones busy nowadays)
• Editing may be tedious since the first form of media will also be edited
• Writing another script will take up lots of time.

And the winner is...

Power Point Presentation!

Fav Idea

 After doing some research on my previous ideas, this one is my absolute favorite.

Sooo..

The idea is a get ready with me/makeup tutorial, however it isn't any ordinary get ready with me/makeup tutorial. It tells viewers the backstory of the film 9:5 along with some insightful questions answered.

I used to watch youtube a lot. I mean a lot. It has always been so versatile and includes so many of my interested topics. One thing I always loved watching was forensic stories and makeup tutorials. One day, my algorithm introduced my to a woman that does both.

Bailey Sarian is a youtuber who does get ready with me's/makeup tutorials while she informs viewers about gruesome tragedies. Her visuals of imported pictures of the cases and impressive makeup process, as well as the script she creates for each video, all work together in deeply engage her audience. I never get bored watching her videos.

My Approach

I was a little bummed that I didn't chose horror because it won't be as similar, however adding my own twist will still make the video riveting. It was suggested to make the first two questions of the CCR (How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?", the most visual and creative. This sparked my enthusiasm and creativity so I will implement the two questions into this media form. 

Very similar to Bailey, I will use imported pictures from my film, accompanied by a strong script and my skilled makeup look. :)

Wish me luck!
