CCR Question #3

 Hello blog!

Today I'm going to be answering my CCR question number three. The question is how did you production skills develop throughout the project?

 I did start  this project with a little bit of prior experience filming and knowing a little bit about how to edit because of my television production class in school, however I feel like this project helped me become a better storyteller and cinematographer as well as producer.  While I do have some prior experience in my TV class I mostly focus on making news segments so I don't really get to work in films as much, so this project was a really cool opportunity for me to be able to step out of my comfort zone  and try something new. Starting with the  writing I helped write the script and it was a very interesting experience because I've never had as much creative Liberty with making a film before I was very involved in the process and I was trying to come up with ideas and how to better the story  I loved working with a big group of people because I feel that by all of us sharing ideas together we were able to create a great story.  producing this was very fun I was able to be really involved in the process of making a lot of decisions that would ultimately end up being a part of the film I produced alongside with Kenna and it was fun talking to her about many choices that we ended up going with and she helped me plan many things along with the group.  The Thing that I feel like I  contributed the most during the project was  filming.  I was  the main cinematographer in our film opening. I worked very closely with the director and with my fellow producer to be able to develop the scene and get our vision in the camera. Taking on that responsibility helped me become a better cinematographer and it got me thinking about how we wanted the scenes to look in order to be able to get the film exactly how we wanted it to look. Overall I feel like this entire project was a really good experience and it made  me be able to develop my production skills a lot more than I would have ever imagined.

Here's a picture of me with a camera below,  I'll keep you posted on my progress and I will post the script for my second CCR on my next blog!
