Hey blog! I'm so excited to start planning the CCR for my film opening. Even though my opening isn’t completely finished yet, I figured it would be smart to start brainstorming ideas now so the process is easier later. I’ve been thinking a lot about how I actually want to present the CCR questions in a creative way instead of just answering them in a normal video.
My teacher mentioned that doing a podcast could be challenging, but honestly that kind of made me want to try it even more. Podcasts are super popular right now, and they feel really natural and conversational, which I think would work well for reflecting on my process.
For the first two questions, I want to do something that feels connected to my dystopian film itself. Since my film includes that mysterious voice that is basically controlling the main character and telling her what to do, my teacher gave me the idea of the voice actually interviewing me. So instead of a normal q&a, it would feel like the authority figure from the film is questioning me about the project.
The idea is that the voice would ask me the questions like an interviewer, and I would respond. This ties into the themes of my film because the voice represents authority and control, which is exactly what my story is criticizing. It would feel like the system itself is interrogatng the creator of the film, which I think would be a cool concept. It also keeps the dystopian atmosphere of the opening there, even during the reflection.
Then for the other two questions, I want to switch to a podcast format. This would be more relaxed and reflective, where I talk about my production skills and the technologies I used throughout the project. A podcast format makes sense here because these questions are more about the process and what I learned, so it would feel like I'm just casually discussing my experience and growth during the project.
Another reason I like the podcast idea is because it allows me to talk more naturally about what went well, what challenges I faced, and how my skills improved. It doesn’t feel as scripted as a traditional video response, which makes the reflection feel more authentic.
I feel like this combination will make my CCR feel way more creative and connected to the themes of my project. Instead of just explaining my film, the reflections will actually feel like an extension of the dystopian world I created.
Next I’m going to start scripting the questions and thinking about how the voice will sound in the interview section, and also planning what topics I want to cover in the podcast reflection.
