CCR Final Task

I made my CCR for The Chase in my house. I had to make it in my house because we cannot go out. Due to the corona virus, I could not have Maya in my CCR. She would have been my interviewer. I would have done the same for her. However, due to the circumstances, my mom was the interviewer. We were not going to let the virus stop us from creating our CCR. As to uploading my CCR, it was quite tricky. It was a big upload. That was expected since it was over 10 minutes long. Since I was unable to upload it directly to Blogger, I tried to use Google Slides. However, I realized there was not a button for video uploads. But, there was one for YouTube videos. Hence, I decided to make my video into a YouTube video. I made it unlisted so no one could see it, but it can be viewed by anyone with the link. From here, I uploaded the video onto my Google Slides. Then, I imported the link onto Blogger. My CCR was nothing great. I admit that because I know I could do better. The virus stopped my access for me to do anything extraordinary. I am content with my CCR.

Opening Scene to Film: The Chase

Maya and I finally finished our film. Even throughout all of this chaos with the corona virus. We had it finished before. It still needed touches to it though. Maya had the film on her iMovie. There was no way I could help her with anything. The most I could do was help give her plans on what to do and how. But, it was finally done. We were happy with what we had. We think we could have improved on a lot of things. However, with this epidemic going around, there was not much we could do. We were able to FaceTime and discuss what we could do. But, being in person with her would have been much better. Our film was better than we expected though. We captured many angles than we expected. Along with this, our transitions were very good. We timed everything great. Despite only having two people in our group, everything went pretty smoothly. We managed to get everything done. All in all, Maya and I are very proud of our finished opening sequence.

Filming Blog: Completed

Maya and I have finally finished filming. Today, I went over to her house. It was about 7:00 in the night. Then, we changed into the proper clothes needed for the scene. We also had to do our light makeup. From here, we got in Maya's car. She drove us to the gas station. I got out of the car at the entrance. I took a shot of her pulling into the gas station. We then proceeded to take shots of each other. She had to take multiple of me running away as we did not know which direction to go to. After this, we kept shooting each shot. We followed our storyboard. We tried to line up every shot as we assumed we were going to use dissolve as our transition. There were not many people in the gas station. We had Maya's mom near us in case any accidents occurred. Thankfully there were no accidents. We kept taking shots of each other. We had to reshoot a couple of times. We took about 3 shots per scene. We did this so hopefully we won’t have to refilm.
