Creative Critical Reflection Prep: Question #3

 For the third question, there are different things I had to take into consideration, my planning and production as well as my past experience. I already have very detailed accounts of my planning and production in my blogs, so I just have to put those into words that can be easily explained. For this question, articulating myself well is key. There are other things I want to talk about in my CCR that I didn't include in my blogs. So, as I work on my script I want to be sure to include those. 

For questions 2 and 3 of my CCR I want to incorporate them into a podcast because the sound elements are the most important and I want to emphasize them. So my script needs to be very understandable since there are no visual elements. The only visual I created was a logo for my fake podcast, Anything & Everything with Elisa Hernandez

Script

Intro Music Plays

Me: Hey welcome back to anything and everything! today we're gonna be talking about something different. I wanna discuss a film I made with one of my best friends - shoutout Lucia - for our Aice Media class. 
There's some specific things I want to talk about like our plan, production and decisions - both the good and the bad - and how I learned from all of this. We put a lot into this project and we're so excited and proud of it, so the process of it's creation wasn't easy.

Me: When we first started, we had a really clear idea. It came to us really fast and all at once and we were sooo excited about it.

Me: As the weeks passed our idea got more solidified and we developed a story we really liked. I'd taken a film class in middle school, but never had to plan something out this detailed. We picked out lighting, costumes, and genres that we wanted and how they were gonna go together. The most important part of all the decisions we made though was sound effects. 
Our idea focused around this monster, so we had to make sure to get the sound effects just right. We had a good idea of how we wanted it to sound and it was something like this

Me: But we ended up finding something a lot better as a reference point, and I think it's much more believable.

Me: I am someone who tends to do things very last minute, so having the schedule set to do things by specific times really helped me get this project done and in a the way we liked it. My planning skills definitely improved just by being forced to plan for the production of the opening.

Me: The best part was the production. We had so much fun going out to film with our friend and creating out detective board. We didn't run into any problems until the very end where we realized we had to film a scene with a lot of people and we couldn't get that many people in the same place at once. 
After finishing, I realized how much I learned. I understand how much goes into making a movie and how hard it really is. Especially when making the detective board, we were making decisions and focusing on the smallest details that the viewers probably wouldn't notice. I started wondering how many times that happens in real films. After doing this I learned to appreciate every part of movies because I noticed the effort that goes into it after doing it myself.
