Question #3 (CCR)

     As previously mentioned, both CCR #3 and #4 are going to be composed in the same production. Because of this I'll be making a script for CCR #3 today. This CCR asks, how did your production skills develop throughout this project? This question is great and gives a reflection of how a person grows over time.

TOPICS TO TALK ABOUT:

• How have your skills evolved throughout the production
• How it began and how it ended
• Research & planning
• Approach towards production

CCR#3 SCRIPT:

    This script involves me answering the CCR question, although there's a good chance that for the production I'll have more character and idea built into it. 

    For the production of, Pushover, I had previous experience in several other film productions from film classes in the past. Some of these projects were really short films, music videos, and even stop-motion, but I've never done a project with so much thought and energy until this one. 

    During the previous projects for my film classes I didn't necessarily research or plan anything out. By not doing this, the end results were not so good. But, unlike those productions, this was one was the complete opposite. I thoroughly researched many different topics, techniques, and ideas that elevated my work a lot. This was evident while researching for my genre, because beforehand my knowledge on thriller was limited and by researching I understood things within the conventions of the genre that helped give a blueprint on how to make thriller. This leads me to my next point which is planning. Planning was also something that I had lacked in previous projects, but while filming this project it was really helpful, especially as a guide. Also, planning through storyboarding was great, since it lead as a visual representation of what scenes were to look like. 

    By incorporating these tools, it lead to approach the production in a more professional and concentrated way. Meaning that with the brains of three people, we discussed ideas in a mature manner. If we didn't agree with something we would speak up and adjust our views. This was something that guaranteed me certainty that I was both growing as a film maker and as a someone who could overcome difficulties.

    As the project developed it gave me time to see the steps of where we as a group started and how we at first struggled creatively and how we then ended up as people that can create something meaningful and entertaining. 

CONCLUSION:

    Just how I mentioned earlier, this is just a blueprint of my answer/script to CCR#3. When I come up for an idea for this production I'll be sure to add a creative aspect that helps generate a less boring product.
