 I am almost ready to submit my project and I feel very confident in my film opening. After going through the process of writing, filming, and editing I have learned a lot during this process. When I first started this project I didn't really know how to film, but while going through the process and blogging about it, it better helped me understand how to film my film opening to make it look good. I did run into a lot of problems while filming my opening because I got sick and that delayed a lot of things and I though I wasn't going to finish the project but that the end I was able to finish the project. But since I got sick it did delayed things and that really affect what I wanted to do for my CCR's so I had to come up with something new, and I can't say that I was not very happy on how my CCR's turned out but it was the best I could have but for what happened and for that I am very happy about it because I was able to finish it and not get a bad grade for not submitting it. All in all I am very happy that I went through this experiences and I learned a lot.

 CCR question 4

How did you integrate technologies – software, hardware and online – in this project?

Pre Production

Scriptwriting:

I create a script of my film opening, I did change it a lot to try to make sure it was as good as possible.

Storyboard:

I created a storyboard to have a plan on how I was using my shot and to visualize each shot 

Planning:

I had to create a schedule to have everything planed out to make sure I would summit the project on time. 

Production  

Cinematography:

This was a very challenging part of the project because I had to make sure I shot as many shots as I needed to make sure my shot were good. 

Editing

I thought this would be the most challenging but it was actually pretty easy for me due to having access to Premiere Pro and all the tools it comes with.

 CCR #3

How did your production skills develop throughout this project?

During production I had to reacher a lot on the genre that I wanted to film about; during this I learned a lot about the genre Action and what went into it to make a good film. For example I had reacher the film openings of Baby Driver and Fast and the Furious, during the reacher process I learned a lot on how to set up my credits and how I should put my music over my shots to make everything connect. 

During the post production process I had to start editing, I started editing on Premiere Pro. This was not my first time using Premiere because I have used it in my previous project but this was my first time using the the tools that Premiere provided. I had a lot of fun trying to figure out how Premiere worked and at the end I really enjoyed editing my project on Premier due to all the tools it gave me.

I also gave a better understanding in layering sounds, I have had a project before about layering sounds but it was not my best project. I fell like during this project I had to make sure every sound was on point because its the main things about my film and its what attracts the audience those sound of the car revving the engine. I also had to make sure that when I put my music over the film I didn't make it too loud because then you wouldn't be able to hear the cars.

CCR question 2

How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?

Emotional Engament 

- High energy Action- The fast paced street race and chase scenes immediately grab attention and create excitement 

- Relatable characters- The crews diverse personalities and backgrounds allows audiences to connect with a character 

- Theme- Teamwork and family can relate to the viewers who value relationships.

Distribution stratège 

- Flim festival

- platforms (Instagram, TikTok, and Youtube)- we can share clips of the street race

- collaborate with influencers in the action, car and tech communities

Streaming Platforms and social media ensures the film reaches its target audiences.

 Today was group meeting #2

Lee had an amazing blog post that better explained the CCR's questions in details. For me it help me have a better idea because when I first saw the questions I didn't really understand it, but when I saw her blog and I saw how she explained it and I understand it. 

For Matias, his blog post are very well done because he explains everything he is doing and he shows what he is going to do and he also shows the props that he used for his film opening and what he is going to use it for.

For Camila she had a lot of question on where she should edit and what would be the best approach for it. She wanted to us CapCut but  CapCut is not liked by our teacher so I told her to use Premier Pro because it is free for use and it has a lot of tools that can help make her film opening better. Although I would prefer CapCut due to it being easy to us and simple, Premier Pro is hard to figure out but once you figure it out you can see that there is a lot of tools that can help you make your project better.

For me I had a hard time figuring out where and how I would create my title page because for my film opening it would best flow with my film opening if my title is at the end because it would be after the light turn green and the screen goes black to show the title and you would just hear the car racing. They also gave me ideas that I should create my title on canva  because it has a lot of tools that would make my title look good.

 Genre Conventions 

-Fast pace action: The street race and chase scenes with high energy action is like the Fast and the Furious

-

Introducing a diverse crew with specialized skills like in Ocean's Eleven 

Technical Conventions 

- Camera work : Low angles, tracking shots and quick cuts are used to emphasize speed and power

Challenging conventions 

- character development in short form- While actions films often prioritize action over character development, Full throttle uses audio to hit at motivation

Representations of social group 

-The crew is diverse, reflecting a range of backgrounds 

- It also emphasizes their skills and personalities

For my editing process I had to find a font that would best fit my film opening style. I came across thus font that I felt best fix my film opening because my film opening is about two street racers racing. So I felt like this font had a kind of street painting type of feel and I though it would best fit my film opening do to it being about two street racers. I did have a hard time trying to figure out which font I should use for my credit because most most a basic and plain so I wanted to find one that best matched my film opening and the rest of my production. I feel like I picked a good font and once I finish adding the final touch to it my film opening is going to look good.
