CCR!!

 Last but not least, CCRs!

Here is my first CCR, a director's commentary focusing on these three questions:

• How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?
• How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?
• How did your production skills develop throughout this project?

Director's commentary CCR, questions 1-3

And here is my second, a purposely cheesy infomercial focusing on this question:

• How did you integrate technologies – software, hardware and online – in this project?

Film Opening

This is my film opening, My Sweet Melody. Hope you enjoy! 

Infomercial CCR Production

 Filming

    For my infomercial CCR, I want to have a base line of just me talking to the camera, in a very animated way. Basically I filming it using the most annoying customer service voice I could manage. I planned to film it standing up and moving around, however no one in my house was available to assist me in this. So instead, I opted for filming the whole thing sitting down with a neutral gray wall as my background.

Editing

    However...that's just so boring. That's why I tried to make the video as cheesy and cringe as possible, purely to make it more creative and for comedic affect since it goes with the idea of an annoying infomercial. I took much of my inspiration when editing from the 2010s' YouTube editing style. Tight close up zooms, grayscale, basically anything you would see in an old Emma Chamberlain video. I screen recorded myself scrolling through YouTube, and Blogger, and used it as b-roll.  I'm pretty happy with the outcome!
