CCR for Final Task

 

Final project

This is our final task! I'm so happy that we're finally done. This project was a lot. There was so many blogs. Now we have to work on the CCR. If I remember, it's a video. I'm really scare to do it. I don't like how I look on camera. I have no choice though. I hope I get a good grade. Not just for this project but for this whole class. I wish to pass.  

Waiting

 As I type this, Vanessa is editing. She is working endlessly. She showed us her ideas. She's thinking about adding in 3D titles. She claims it doesn't take long but two hours is quite long. She also sent a clip of the opening. When I saw it, I was originally confused. For starters, the clip looked like it was filmed on a rock. When I asked about this she explained that it was to make it easier on her computer as she edits. She told me that once she renders it she'll put it back to the original quality. We also had to come up with a title. It didn't hit us until editing start that we never named it. I had no idea what to call it. So me and Vanessa decided to just go with frenemies. It reminds me of the Disney show. That is all I have seen so far. I trust her to edit this to perfection. Until then I just have to wait. We also decided that I will once again be the one to upload it to YouTube. Hopefully this comes out good. 

     

Sending videos

 After filming, they met my cat red then went home. You would think that since we just finished working on the assignment I would send it straight away. I ended up not doing that. I honestly forgot about it for a day until I started texting people. When I saw the clips in my gallery, I was shocked. Shocked that I forgot to send them. So I originally planed on emailing the clips since it would keep the quality. Turns out I could only send about three of them because the others were too big. You would think Google would be more advance. After that stressful failed attempt , I had no other choose but to ruin the quality. The quality was ruined by me sending them over Instagram Messages. The app is known for ruining the quality of videos and photos. They all ended up sending but it took nearly all day for them all to send. I'm honestly surprised they sent on Instagram since there's usually a time limit. I'm guessing they upgraded the limit. The important thing is that Vanessa has the clips needed. She will be editing it since she already knows how to. I know she will do. I have faith in her. We all of faith in her. 

  

Chasing each other!

 As I mentioned before, originally I was supposed to be the chased. I had believed in my running skills. Yet those skills were demolished once me and Rose did a practice sprint. I was no where near her. How could our film be tense if the chaser was so far away? Maybe it was a good thing, I wasn't the one being chased. She would have caught me instantly. I don't understand why we picked our film to be about running. None of us can run for anything. Not to mention how after we did the practice run, my knees were in pain. Maybe I'm not running correctly. After the practice run, my spirits were crushed. All my excitement for filming were gone. I wanted to give up but Vanessa and Rose wouldn't let me. They forced me to run after Rose. I was doing good for the first few seconds. Then by the end I was suffering. My knees were even worse. Not to mention my breathing was awful. Hopefully I don't look stupid in the film. 

   

Yelling Match!

 Now I'm going to paint a picture. Imagine you go to a small park that doesn't get visited often. You go there to either relax or play basket ball but you're bothered by two short teens yelling at each other while being filmed. That's what it was like while we were in the park. We, well actually I was, screaming at each other and getting up in each other faces. Only to burst out laughing. It's hard to pretend to be arguing with someone that has been your friend for years. We did actually manage to get a good few segments of us arguing but some we can't use because we didn't react fast enough. What I mean by this is that it's scripted for us to push each other. Rose was supposed to push me with just one hand while I was supposed to shove her with two and with force. She kept on messing up by not pushing me and instead continuing to argue. I believe we were not communicating enough because we didn't establish a cue.

      

Filming Role

 I originally drew the storyboard for this project. While drawing, I had in mind who would play who. Even though Rose spoke about wanting to film instead of act, I knew Vanessa would film. Ever since the instance of Zaha filming vertically, she has taken over filming. Which meant Rose and I would be the actors. I originally planned for me to be the one being chased because I had believed in my speed. Me being the one chased automatically would have made Rose the chaser. This never happened. I should have kept in mind our personalities. For our rehearsals, it became clear that the roles were wrong. The roles needed to be swap. For Rose can not get angry for the life of her. The characters needed to get progressively aggressive for the progression of the story. Yet she seemed uncapable of doing something like that. So we switched. I became the chaser and she became the chase. The switch was natural. I'm typically more snappy and temperamental compared to her. When the argument started getting heated, I was generally getting heated. I believe having me as the aggressive one made the filming move quicker.
