Script for CCR #3

Concept: In this CCR, I’ll be talking about my film project and how my production skills improved along the way. I’ll walk through the whole process. From the research and planning to filming and editing. I’ll also explain the tech we used, like cameras, lighting, and editing software, and how we adapted as we went. The goal is to keep it casual and real while sharing what I learned throughout the project.

[Scene 1: Walking through our set.]

Me (talking to the camera):
"At the start, we were all still figuring things out. We didn’t have much experience, so we learned along the way and made adjustments as needed. But by the end, our skills improved a lot. We got way better at handling the camera. At first, we were nervous about shooting handheld, but it actually turned out looking pretty good. We also had to get creative, like when we didn’t have proper lights, we used an iPhone flashlight to light the scene. It wasn’t perfect, but it worked out."

[Scene 2: Walking past our printed out research.]

Christian (talking to the camera):
"We started by choosing the Coming-of-Age genre. We watched films like Stand By Me, Juno, and Eighth Grade to see how their openings worked. After that, we went started brainstorming. We came up with the plot, wrote the script, and made a storyboard. We also sorted out the details like locations, filming dates, and music."

[Scene 3: Walking around a filming location.]

Sienna (talking to the camera):
"During filming, we had to adapt a lot. When we were filming in the car, Christian had to stick his camera out of the window to get the right angle. It was a bit risky, but it worked. We had to figure things out on the spot and make changes as we went."
