Are We There Yet?

    During the filming of the last CCR video, I realized it’d be difficult to recreate a whole sales pitch setting, so I opted for the next best thing! A sales pitch during quarantine! I thought it’d be both funny and convenient for myself to transform the last two questions into a sales pitch during 2020. At the very start of the video I place text that described the location and date of the “zoom meeting.” With that little tweak, filming has been 100% completed! It’s crazy to think that this is the end of what has been a long chapter. I have already edited most of it together as well, taking advantage of some free time I had during the day, so I’m almost completely finished with the entire project! 

    With the end of this project, sadly comes the end of high school. Now that we’re entering April, it’ll be a whirlwind of events and exams until graduation. Reflecting back on this project, it couldn’t have been a better way to close off my time at high school. It’s been a project that I’ve had to dedicate a lot of time and energy into, as well as a way I’ve been  able to demonstrate everything that I’ve learned. I think I’ve modeled the character Alejandro and the goals for the target audience after what I expect to see in media myself. Just like in a coming-of-age movie, life is filled with frightening and fast changes, constantly throwing obstacles your way, and I thought it was important to be able to showcase that.

    I’m so glad that I’ve been able to adapt and curate the project into a physical demonstration of my hard work. From having to find the right font and figuring out how to apply it to tweaking the storyline slightly because a soccer picture was attached too tightly to the wall, this project has been a whirlwind of emotions. Now that I went through all the stress of editing the film opening and not knowing which software was the right one for me, I feel like a professional when it comes to editing the CCRs. Luckily the editing doesn’t require as much flourish as the film opening did, but I’m becoming extremely satisfied with how they are turning out.
