Question #4 (CCR)

 Now, the very last question of the CCR, how did you integrate technologies - software, hardware, and online - in this project? To me this is a pretty cool question since it helps understand, at least to me, the different technologies go into making a a film.

TOPICS TO TALK ABOUT:

• Discuss any type of technology
• Different types of hardware: cameras, lighting, mics, etc.
• Any software: planning, editing, animation, tools, etc.
• How were these technologies used?

CCR#4 SCRIPT:

    Through the process of making a film, there is one thing that gets written out of the equation. What is thing? Well, that would be the technologies used to make these productions. That's why when understanding the production of, Pushover, technologies are quintessential. 

HARDWARE: 

    The camera used in the film was obtained through Brennan and his connections with the TV production crew at our school. The camera was phenomenal and had a microphone attached to it which was very important when recording the dialogue. 

    Lighting wise, we didn't have much control in the park scene, but in the tracking shot of Asher at his house we used the natural lighting in the house and ring lights that helped tone the film down. We also played with the lighting in the editing software, but that'll be talked about more later.

SOFTWARE:

    For the software used in the planning and post-production, there was a nice amount of helpful tools. For example, websites like StudioBinder were very helpful in research and planning processes like the storyboard. 

    Editing wise, we used Adobe Premiere, which was provided to us by the school. This site is great in terms of productivity and was a key tool in the lighting due to it's tone changer. It's also very helpful with it's advanced but simple interface. 

HOW WERE THEY USED?

    While, at times some of these technologies were tedious to work with, the understanding from me, Vanessa, and Brennan worked together in a interesting and interactive way that glued everything together. 

CONCLUSION:

    I tried something a little different in the script for this CCR and that will probably will be reflected onto the script of the third CCR question. It's likely that both CCR's will change a little when coming up with the production ideas, but for now this is what I'll be working with.
