CCR Production

 CCR 1: Oscar acceptance speech

My first CCR was filmed at one of my group member's houses. Samuel was gracious enough to help me record my CCR in exchange for me helping him. Another one of our group members lent us the green screen I used. Regarding equipment, I used a Canon 90D to film, a tripod, a GVM LED three-point light kit, Holly Land wireless microphones, and a green screen. The filming setup was simple, I was standing in front of the green screen with three-point lighting set up around me and the camera directly in front of me. Since I was giving a speech, and I didn't want any cuts I had Samuel hold my laptop with the speech on it by the camera, and I used it as a teleprompter. I used the website Free teleprompter because it has adjustable settings like text size and speed which make it convenient. 

However, I ran into an issue which led to a change of plans. After filming a few takes and constantly messing up (reading and preforming a 3-minute speech is hard) I knew that I was wasting time, as I still had to film my friend's CCR. So, I decided to use a take where I messed up about halfway but stopped and picked up from before I messed up. I'm going to have one cut in the duration of the speech but in post I hope to make it as unnoticeable as possible.

CCR 2: Yoga class

For my second CCR the production was simpler. I used a tripod, Canon T8, and filmed in my backyard alone. One issue I faced was audio. I didn't have mics so I had to rely on a rode mic to pick up my audio, which would've normally been fine if I was in a quiet area. Except I forgot just how noisy my backyard is (I live next to a major highway). Thankfully only my intro and outro require audio so it won't be too bad. Besides that one issue filming went smoothly.
