Intro:
After gathering my CCR footage yesterday, today would be all about compiling the footage and editing them. This was more of a simple task after we had all edited the project and learned all the skills we would need. If anything, this portion of the project was more tedious than it was challenging. When I say tedious, I just mean repetitive since it still was pretty fun. I also had lots of fun making the YouTube video since that is something I watch quite frequently. In fact, as a child, I was so convinced that becoming a YouTuber was the path for me. However, I since then strayed from this path. Anyways, the editing process of my CCR was an extremely involved task.

When editing the footage of this CCR, I had taken inspiration from the traditional YouTube reaction video format that addressed an audience. The format was a YouTuber reading his comments. This would prove as an interesting challenge for me since I had to put on a YouTuber persona, and record long clips at a time. This was pretty easy as I only had to adress these comments like a friend to have that familiarity that subscribers expect from their favorite creators. I had used editing to display 2 comments on the screen as I was speaking to them. This was extremely fun for me to do as I once had an interest in content creation. Also, for the comments, I used photoshop and A.I. to make 2 comments that had asked the CCR questions which was a creative way to incorporate them instead of reading them.

When recording the footage of my CCR, I had recorded on my Dads phone since I regularly needed to look at mine between takes to review the script. One of the biggest challenges in filming, is that I kept forgetting my lines. Even in the polished version, some words vary from the script since I could not remember every vocabulary word I used. That being said, all necessary information was still conveyed. After sending the videos to my phone, I then uploaded them to OneDrive. Once they were on OneDrive, they could be accessed by ClipChamp. By now, you must know that ClipChamp is the main software that I use to compile and edit my clips. Through ClipChamp, I put all the videos in order, then came across a problem. During some scenes, the audio was tampered with by the environment. This included: wind, birds, and rustling trees. However, I had already accounted for this and used ClipChamps noise suppression feature which cleaned it up. To do so, I had to detach the audio from all clips, re-upload them, then tweak their settings to make sure it worked perfectly. That was definitely the most tedious part. For the portions of my piece that were on websites, I included a screen recording of the website as I voiced it over. I thought that would make it more engaging then me standing in front of the camera for those segments.
