Hello, and welcome to today's blog post regarding the creation of the first CCR! I'll get the small details out of the way first, and then I'll move onto the big ones, like equipment.
The combined length of the CCRs can not surpass ten minutes, so I'm going to evenly split the length and have five minutes for one and five minutes for the other, but I can easily accommodate if one is longer than the other. Next, there are a total of four questions that must be answered within both of the CCRs. I'm going to do another even split here, having two questions in each CCR.
The first will have:
- 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?
The second will have:
- How did your production skills develop throughout this project?
- How did you integrate technologies – software, hardware and online – in this project?
As a change of plans, I'm going to have the first one be the interactive one and the second one will be the informational, presentation-like one. This is because the first two seem like they would be questions asked to a content creator during a Q&A. They could be answered somewhat casually, which fits with the casual tone of a podcast like this. Furthermore, the second ones would be easier to answer with pictures and other information shown on screen. I'd be able to show the technology that I used, like Blogger, my stabilizer, etc. I'd also be able to show how I solved some of my problems when editing or filming.
Moreover, here are the plans for my first CCR. This one will be the personal podcast like one. I'm able to borrow a microphone from one of my friends, so I have no need to worry about hardware that is used to film this, as my laptop has a built in camera. The camera is obviously stationary as well, so I don't have to worry about needing a friend to help film my project. In other words, there are no external complications that can mess this up for me, unless a meteor hits my equipment. I'm so sure that I even have a backup plan where I can use my headset's microphone if my friend can't give it.
Seeing as how I have everything except for the mic (which again, I have a backup plan) I could start filming this CCR today if I have time, which would leave me extra time on Sunday to make finishing touches on my project.
Moving on, here are the plans for the second CCR. This one is the technical, presentation-like one. Unfortunately, the headset would not fit well here, so I have to rely on my friend letting me borrow his microphone. Since this is presentation like, there will once again be little motion, which is honestly a life saver for me, as I don't want to risk a friend not being able to come again. I can put my script next to the camera so that it's not too obvious that I'm reading from a script. Aside from that, when I get home I'm going to install an app that allows me to screen record and show myself scrolling through websites with information, which is a perfect segue into something else that needs to be talked about. I can't use my full five minutes on this CCR because I need to include a few seconds to include all sources shown within the CCR, because if not I wouldn't be crediting the authors, and that does not work to either of our benefits.
This one will be worked on either Saturday or Sunday, depending on what time the first CCR is worked on. (Probably Sunday because I have a doctor's appointment today) I also have to get the mic before I start filming this one, so my bet is that it will be completed on Sunday.
Thank you for reading, and like I said in my post from earlier today, make sure you come back tomorrow! I will be discussing my first finished CCR. Once again, farewell!
