CCR Production Post

Hey guys, so I’m currently filming my CCRs. I’m doing the podcast and the director’s commentary. The director’s commentary is going to answer the first two questions of the CCR, and then the podcast will answer the second two. I already wrote the script and everything, and I just came up with these ideas.

Basically, I have to get going, but I’m still in the process of editing my actual film opening, so the process is a little slow. I know I have to get it done as soon as possible because I’m going on a trip to visit my family in Mexico on Friday, and I want to finish everything before then. I don’t know how the Wi-Fi will be there or if I’ll even have enough time to finish.

So basically, I already tried to film the director’s commentary, but I messed up on a part. But I figured out exactly how I want to film it. I set up a little recording area in my dad’s studio because I think it looks kind of professional, and I’m going to set up my drive there. I also have to find a way to put my script somewhere like a teleprompter, but in a way where you can’t really tell I’m reading off a script. I’m not super confident that it won’t be noticeable, but honestly, if it is, it’s fine because I’ve seen other director’s commentaries where they’re clearly reading off a teleprompter, so I don’t think it’ll be that bad.

For the podcast, I’m a little scared because my teacher said it’s kind of hard to do, but so far I don’t think it’s going to be that bad. I’m going to record my voice in Voice Memos because it has really good audio, and I have a mini microphone that I can use. Then I’m going to import it into my editing software and make sure it sounds good and actually feels like a podcast.

I already have the music I want to use, I’m just not sure where exactly to put it. I’ve seen that a lot of podcasts usually put their music at the beginning and at the end, so I’m going to try that. 

I don’t really listen to podcasts, so I’m kind of not sure what to do, which is why I probably should’ve been listening to more episodes and trying to base it off that so it sounds more professional and realistic.
