Portfolio Project - CCR Preparation

 Intro:

For todays blog, I will be writing about the lengthy research I did in regards to the CCR part of the project. After my teacher told me how important the CCR was to our overall project, I wasted no time and got started right away planning what I would do. She showed us various examples to get us comfortable with the concept, and explained why certain projects lost points or gained them. For that part of the lesson, I took lengthy notes of what should be expected in the CCR. Today is my research on 2 of the questions that had stood out to me initially. Obviously, I will be covering the remaining two another day, possibly in another blog post.

Skills:

The CCR question relating to skills was "How did your production skills develop throughout this project?" Originally, I thought this question was going to be rather difficult; however, doing some research had cleared some uncertainty around it. It made the improvements clear to me. During the filming process, I had originally been complacent with trying to film the entire piece on an iPhone, by hand. As I progressed through this process, it had made me realize the importance that proper preparation and equipment had on producing a good final product for my film opening. Because of this, I had begun to utilize equipment like stabilizers and mounts going forward. The project had developed my filming skills as I tried to create my best possible product.

Technologies:

This CCR question was "How did you integrate technologies -software, hardware, online- in this project?" While this one was a little more difficult to answer at this early stage, I had still noticed progress in these categories as is. After gathering our raw footage, we each edited it to our liking and compared it later. In doing so, we all improved our integration of editing softwares in our project. These included software like ClipChamp and Adobe Express. We had selected these because they were readily available by our schools resources and given to all students via a login portal. We integrated it by using them to combine the raw footage to our liking to begin to shape up our film opening in its earliest phases.
