CCR Post Production Blog Post

    When I first started to edit, I wanted to achieve my objective of editing both CCR videos in an engaging and informative way, allowing my audiences to
fully grasp what I did for my project. I believe that with this plan in place, my audience will completely understand my inner thoughts and what I am trying to do.

    For my first video, I wanted to have an uninterrupted video of the officer beginning to speak to my character. This would allow a very serious situation to be created that would then be subverted by Asher's response, which is what I intended. Then, in order to ensure that my audience doesn't get bored and to follow Mrs. Stoklosa's guidelines, I placed images from the internet of different pictures pertaining to what I was talking about in a given moment. For the most part, I used Pixabay for it because it not only had access to millions of photos, but it also was a website that was easy to navigate and one that I was familiar with. The combination of my recently taken footage along with these condensed and edited sections of pictures allowed my first video and idea for it to be extremely strong in its execution.

    In this video below, you can see my footage that is moving through the timeline, with the photos popping up at the exact moment that it was being spoken about. This was to allow a seamless transition from footage of myself to direct material that I was referring to at that moment. This factor allowed me throughout the editing process to include the various photos I mentioned earlier as well as raw footage from my project. This gave me a huge advantage displaying my project, with a professional look due to the execution of displaying my thoughts and ideas with certain videos and pictures.

    Now, for my second video, I wanted to follow the same format that I had for my first one, strong footage and audio supported by edited sequences. However, this time, I would include some more footage of the actual conversation between me and my co-host talking to each other. In doing this, it helps to make the podcast feel more realistic and helps to differentiate the two different CCR videos even more. 

    Additionally, I wanted to include an introduction to the podcast, so I pulled footage from it and used it as a background for the opening of the video. You can see it below, with the words moving together to form the title against the background of me and my father talking. This helped to give our video a more official status, showcasing it in a more realistic manner.

    However, even though I wasn't able to finish the entirety of the two videos, I will be able to finish it in a short time because I have laid the groundwork for the project in this current editing stage. This will allow for more creative elements to be added in the advancing stages, increasing the quality of the project entirely.

    Overall, I believe that my editing process was extremely strong and that I was able to create two informative CCR videos because of it. Not only has my editing process and eventual product been quick and efficient, but I also utilized ideas that Mrs. Stoklosa gave me in relation to keeping the video engaging. Through this, the video accurately reflected the creative process I was thinking of when creating my main opening.
