Final Updates

Before publishing my last few posts which conclude my documentation of the two minute film opening project, I figured I should provide a couple updates on the final steps of my portfolio. For one, since last week, I have, for the most part, completed the editing process of my product. Now, I am merely adding final touches to ensure my piece is the best it can be. For example, my next step is adding the melancholy filter that will assist in conveying the tone of my piece. However, this process should not take me longer than a day; therefore, I plan on completing the project by the end of this school week. 

Moreover, since my last blog, I have answered the remaining three questions required of me for the Creative Critical Reflection. In fact, I have filmed and edited both my CCR products already. As a result, I wanted to present the inspirations for the themes I selected for each piece. My first CCR is inspired by the GQ celebrity "replies to fans on the internet" interviews. In my video, I read questions "fans" of my film sent in on Twitter and respond to them verbally. The only major difference between my production and GQ's publishings is that, in my video, my response is not seen being typed up to send out to the individual who asked the question, while on the celebrity interviews they are. Here is an example of the interviews that inspired my CCR:

My second CCR, on the other hand, was inspired by WIRED's "autocomplete interviews." In my video, I respond to the last two questions required for the reflection, revealing them by peeling off paper from a board where the questions appear as a google search, similar to that of WIRED's real interviews. However, as opposed to the real publishings, my interview's board does not depict the title "google." Instead, I made a DYI board where the title is "CCR." In addition, instead of stating "autocomplete interview" at the beginning, I stated "autofill interview." Here is an example of the interviews that inspired my CCR:

P.S: this is one of my favorite celebrity interviews ever; I find it hilarious.

Before closing this off, I'd like to state that my creations are in no way meant to copy these companies' brand or ideas. I merely enjoy both these video types so much that I hoped to model my project after them, hopefully allowing my CCR to be as entertaining as the celebrity interviews I watch so often.
