Working on the Creative Critical Reflection (CCR)

  Below is a link to my planning for my CCR which include my script of it. CCR plan V2 I haven't finished my CCR as I plan on making it like an interview and its own video but I have yet to put the video together. I already have someone to interview me and multiple questions to ask. In the script I talk about the many changes that went down during my film opening as well as the technologies we used. I have many pictures and videos that I will implement into my CCR video as the entire thing will be a sort of mock podcast because I want to do something other than a PowerPoint presentation and I want mine to be special and heavily edited. I have worked on my CCR as I have gathered many behind the scenes photos and videos to play while I talk about the film. I had designated people come to the filming of our film opening to get background footage and pictures which ending up being very beneficial as I got a lot of material to use and talk about in my CCR. I might end up changing my CCR

Final thought on the film opening project.

Our film opening is almost done and we are very excited to be finished with this long process of different changes in the film opening. I will include each of our different attempts at our film opening including what might be the final version of our film opening. We have been working on our film opening for a while now and we have made so many different changes in the process, from a samurai movie to an action movie to a comedy and now we have finally made our decision to go with this mockumentary style interview of sorts. We stuck to the story of our original script but we changed where it starts and how it is portrayed. We filmed initially but quickly realized that we were thinking about our film in the wrong way as what we had previously filmed seemed to fit as a part later in the movie instead of the opening. This made us brainstorm together to create this new mockumentary idea to start out our film which I believe is much more representative of what a film opening is supposed to

Title/credit sequence

I directed the entire process as I was the main cinematographer as well. I didn't include the cinematographer credit in this blog post but It does have its own designated credit in the film opening. Our title/credit sequence was planned out before shooting the actual scene as we had intentionally kept the left space of the camera empty so we had the perfect spot to put each part of our credits into the film.   Our title pops up right after our production name but this might change to showing up as the end of the film as it might be better placed there. We are M.O.M productions because of our first names being Maven, Obed, and Max making M.O.M which we thought was a pretty funny production company name. Max was the main editor as he is the one that truly edits the final product and puts everything together. Although we all had some part in the editing process he was the main one and who I believe deserves to have this title. Each person got their own credit for what they did, the wr
