Production of CCR Videos

Hey there Cambridge!

I finally finished filming my CCR videos!!

The obstacles came immediately. Filming was supposed to begin on Monday, but I was so stressed and burnt out that I literally could not even try to do any work Monday after school. So, I decided to film Tuesday, but my sister did not want me using her room anymore, especially since she needed it to get ready for an important event. I had to find a new location space, which became my room as long as I move my closet, desk, and nightstand out of the way. Finally, Wednesday I was finally able to begin filming. By this point, production has been delayed twice, and I genuinely do not feel like filming anymore, but I know I have to continue. My schedule I created for my CCR production looks a lot different now.

On Monday, when I was setting up to film CCR Vid 1, I realize I forgot about the menu prop. I found a menu template online to print twice and use as a prop.

Later, on Wednesday, when preparing for CCR Video 1, I realized the set did not look much like a restaurant, so I taped on images of food onto the walls.

When filming CCR Video 2, I did not like the dark, poor lighting in my room. I used the main light in my room (ceiling light) and placed a lamp in front of me for much better lighting. This time, I used my phone to film which led to a good five messages saying I ran out of storage. Each time it happened, I had to airdrop the videos to my iPad, delete the videos off my phone, and restart my phone in order for me to continue recording. This was not an issue when filming Video 1 since I used my actor's phone to film that day, and his phone has lots of storage space. I would place the camera on a ladder, my makeshift tripod, to get a steady shot when filming.
