Blog 31 - Copyright Problems

 Copyright Problems

In the last blog, I talked about how we plan to use the song "Sk8ter Boi" in our film because it matches perfectly. So here are the technicalities. 

Technicalities

So due to copyright rules, we need to ask for permission from the song owners to actually be able to use the song in our film. And if we don't we can get sued big time. So, we sent a couple emails, and here's the receipts!

This first picture is us googling who to email, so we emailed these people first. 

Here's that email.

Then, we decided that two is better than one, so me and Adrian both emailed SMP (Sony Music Pub) for the right to use the song the same exact email, and THEY ACTUALLY RESPONDED!!

 

But..sadly they told us that they didn't have any rights to the song and gave us the email that should have it. We are currently waiting for a response from them. They also wished us good luck on our film!

Other Knowledge

I also heard that if they DO NOT respond telling us that we CANNOT use the song, we CAN USE the song in our film still. So basically as long as we showed we tried to get the clearance, and we waited for approval, but they never gave it to us, we can still use the song. Basically if they don't say no, its a go! We just ended up sending the exact same email to everyone so this is what those emails included: 

Permission Request to Use “Sk8er Boi” in a School Project

Dear Sony Music Licensing Team,

My name is Adrian Diaz, and I am a student at Cutler Bay Senior High. I am working on a school project and would love to include a portion of Avril Lavigne’s song “Sk8er Boi” as part of the presentation.

This project is purely educational, non-commercial, and will only be shared within our class. I wanted to reach out to see if it would be possible to get permission to use the song or if there are specific licensing options available for student projects.

Please let me know the next steps and if there are any forms or fees required. I appreciate your time and consideration.

Best regards,

Adrian Diaz

Blog 30 - Filming Plans

 Filming Plans

The due date for this assignment is March 31st. It is currently February 25th, and we still have yet to film a single scene. Sooooo today we are filming one of the first scenes at school, since thats where it takes place. So, we decided that since we're already at school, we should just get that scene out of the way. I also just found out the CCR is due on that date too..so we're a little behind..

Scene

We are filming the scene where Adrian sees Tati with her group of friends during lunch, and pauses his music then goes up to Tati to ask if she has the notes for class. But before she can even say anything, Savannah immediately goes "I have them! Do you need them?" 

Then Adrian looks a little weirded out then does a slight smile and says "I guess, but do you have them?" While keeping his eyes on Tati. Tati then says "Yea I have them, I'll send them to you" with a soft smile. Then her friends tease Tati saying "oooo someone has a crush"

The music that Adrian will be playing is "Sk8ter Boi" by Avril Lavigne. We will talk more about this choice later on (wink wink). 

Planning

For the scenes at the beach (opening and ending) we want to film those on the same day since the whole point is to be in the exact same spot. So that day will be a good 2-3 hours of filming just for those two scenes. We plan to do this in the next couple days, probably next weekend.

For the scene at the mall, we're going to try to see if we can film it this Sunday, but it will most likely be next Sunday because of the such short notice. For this scene we need my whole friend group, and Adrian's whole friend group because we all are going to be in the mall together.

So..if this plan goes exactly how we hope it will go, we'll be done filming by next week and just have to worry about editing it and filming the CCR. Let me tell you..I need to do a bunch of breathing exercises because these due dates are rolling up - and fast ! Let's just say this is how I feel right now..

Blog 29 - Final Script of "Fading Into You"

 Final Script of "Fading Into You"

Our team has been working overtime on creating the script for our film that we decided to name "Fading Into You".

Backstory

We decided to name our film Fading Into You because that's basically what our main actors are doing. The two characters are forming into one, as they fall in love by the end of the film. We also have a lot of fading shots in our film, so by naming our film this we're not only doing it out of basic editing terminology, but for the films meaning.

The Final Script

The following pictures show the final script pages of the ENTIRE FILM!! So, if you don't mind reading through it, here you go! I hope you enjoy, as our team worked very hard ensuring this would be the right fit for both everyone in the group, and the film.

                                                  

Blog 28 - Scene Location Ideas

 Scene Location Ideas

Last weekend, me and Adrian went to The Keys for my grandmas 60th birthday. We went to a restaurant called  Marker 88..and let me just say as soon as we got there me and Adrian both looked at each other and said "This would be the perfect place to film!"

Setting

This restaurant was one of those that did not have indoor seating. It was all outdoor. It was very calm and had a beach with a dock connected to the restaurant and many people were coming on boats to eat here. It was a very calm setting, with music playing. We thought that this would've been the perfect place to go to film the beginning and ending scene, since we were planning to film it on the beach. Here's some pictures of this amazing view with the dock and everything.

                                            

This picture showcases the dock I was mentioning. We could've showed us 2 getting off the boat and running down this dock to the beach that's to the right.            

This is another picture of a different dock that is also connected to the restaurant next door that no one uses. So since the "getting off the boat" isn't doable since we don't have a boat, we could've just walked down to this dock and looked out into the ocean watching the sun go down as one of the scenes.

                                     

This picture showcases the rocky area where the singers were. We thought of sitting up on those rocks too and pretending to loose something so the boy goes to look for it.

This is just an overview/ fishbowl shot of the water that was there. We could've made. this an establishing shot in the film.

 

This last shot is showing the main beach where me and Adrian would've done that scene where we lay the blanket down and put our heads together. Also the scene where we're playing volleyball.

Ending Decision

So, even though this was a perfect filming place, it wouldn't have been way too much of a hassle to go back and forth to since it is an hour away. So, commuting wise, this place is not reasonable. Also, we need to ask permission from the owners of the restaurant to film which we actually did, but they had said no. So for these following reasons, this setting is just a wish that isn't coming true. We will be filming our beach scenes at the lake near Adrians house, since it looks like a beach and has an amazing sunset.

These pictures were also all taken on the Sony zv-1f aka the camera we bought to film our opening scene! 

Blog 27 - Scene Plans

 Scene Plans

As a group, we came together to decide where and when we're going to film, including scenes and where they're going to go.

Opening Scene

The film is going to open with the two main characters, G and B, riding bike to the "beach". I put "beach" like that because our original plan was to go to the actual beach, BUT we realized that Adrian's neighborhood has a lake area that has sand that acts and looks like a beach. We lay the blanket down, and G says "Remember our first date here?" and B says "Yea..do you remember how we got here?" Then the scene fades into the next one to cause a "reminiscing" feel.

First memory

This scene starts with the girls in the friend group (Savannah, G, and Alina) going to their lunch spot and seeing B. The girls then go "Omg he's looking at us" When in reality B is really looking at G. G pretends she doesn't see him looking at her, while her friends non-stop talk about how he's "always staring". In this scene, B is at a tree, doing an assignment on his computer, with one headphone in and one out. This is supposed to give him a "nonchalant" feel or a relaxed feel. That he doesn't think anything is too serious. Then, B gets up and decides to go ask G is she has the notes to this class. Before she can answer the girls say "Yea we have them. Do you need them?" Then B goes "Oh..yea I guess" while looking at G the whole time. The scene then cuts out and fades to the next one.

Second memory

The friend group is all sitting on the couch, watching a movie. This scene has dark lit lighting. Meaning all the lights are turned off, and the only thing giving light to the scene, is the movie in the background. We aren't necessarily going to show the movie, it's just the girls on the couch, cuddled up with blankets and snacks while the moving light of the movie is shown on the girls faces and on the wall. 

In this scene, the 2 girls would be talking about the boy while G is zoned out thinking about B. This will be shown by a tracking close up to G's face while the sound is getting more intense, and when the camera gets close, then G snaps out of it and the sound goes back to normal and Savannah says "Hello?! What are you thinking about?" and then G goes "N-nothing don't worry about it, let's just watch the movie" then Savannah and Alina look at eachother and Alina or Sav goes "It was a boy wasn't it" and G smirks and looks away. Then the scene fades out.

Third memory

This scene will start at the mall. G and her girls will be walking around at the mall and G ends up seeing B and his friends walking around. Before B can notice G, G runs into the nearest store and ends up being super nervous. Her friends follow behind her and are like "What happened? Why'd you run in here without saying anything?" Then G goes, "THEY'RE OUT THERE! THEY'RE ACTUALLY OUT THERE!" The girls then say "WHO??" and G goes "Adrian.." The girls then say "So that's who you were thinking about at movie night huh?? Don't worry they probably won't even come in here." Then G changes the subject by trying on a dress she likes.

While G is trying on the dress, the clerk woman is helping her zip up the dress. The clerk is saying how good she looks in it, then G's friends say "Ehh..idk I don't really like it. Let's find you something better." Then..out of nowhere B and all his friends come into the store, B sees G, and he then tells his friends "Hold on I'll be right back". He goes up to the girls and says "I think it looks beautiful" G looks as shocked as ever. B then goes "I'll buy it for you..but in return you have to let me take you out on a date" G then agrees after a little back and forth to a date with B, B then says "I'll see you saturday at 8." G then says "See you" while smiling. This scene ends with G and all her friends hyping her up. 

Last memory

This scene begins by paralleling the opening scene: G and B biking to the "beach" as they start playing volleyball and doing basic beach date activities like a pic-nic. They then sit ironically in the same place as the opening scene, and put they're heads together. The scene fades into the present again, as G and B still have their heads together and the sun goes down. Then the film ends while showing the film name on the black screen.

Credits

Credits will most likely be going through the entire film like the names and stuff 

- Amaris: Filmer and Clerk girl

- Adrian: Editor and Actor

- Tatiana: Actor

- Savannah: Actor

- Alina: Actor

Also a little behind the scenes picture of us finalizing details.

Blog 26 - Today's Assignment

Today's Assignment

 We had an assignment today that we went around the room and talked with 3 different groups to see where other people are vs. where our group is. Let me tell you, it was very humbling. 

Where we're behind

We talked with this one group where this girl had 36 blogs AND COUNTING!! I felt totally lost in where to be because we need a total of 40 so she's very ahead like..by a lot. By this week we're supposed to be by 26 which is easy because we have a lot of things to talk about since we're finally starting productions. She also showed me her production schedule and hers was way better than our groups. Her groups was very detailed and they were on top of it. Yes, our group is very on top of our schedule and we are where we need to be..I was just so amazed by how detailed hers was.

Another group is already FINISHED with their film, but they said that it was rushed so they're working on final details as we speak. I feel although are group is right on schedule with OUR production planning, we're behind based on everyone else's project. BUTTT all the other groups I was hearing getting interviewed also barely or haven't even started filming so I think we're okay seeing as how we're starting this weekend. 

Where we're ahead

A lot of groups have not enough blogs for where we are, and I feel they may need just a second to catch up. A lot of the groups I talked to have 17 blogs, 20 blogs, 13 blogs, and even so bad as 9! Blogs really help me see where we are as a group, so doing these weekly blogs are very helpful for me and my group, plus they help me stay on top of where we need to be as far as cambridge submissions.

A lot of the groups also haven't even came up with a plot, nor are in their final groups. I saw one table of 5 people that weren't in a group just talking with each other and making stuff up just because they had no group to work with. I feel proud of our group because even though we might seem behind to other groups, we also look very ahead to others. Where our group is now production wise is a very good medium between the good and the bad. We have everything down from costumes, makeup, equipment, setting, lighting, everything the last steps are just to film and edit, then turn in our final product, right along with adding the rolling credits (which were really excited about!!) Here are the pictures we took as our group was doing this assignment, so you can really see our process with this.

Blog 25 - Our Inspiration

 Our Inspiration

Last blog, I talked about how our group hadn't decided on what movie to take inspiration from, but we realized that this specific plot that we have for our movie really correlates to the movie I'm about to talk about now.

Movie in question

We realized that our film really represents/correlates to 10 Things I Hate About You.

The main characters are two polar opposites that end up falling in love despite what everyone says, and basic things that annoy one another. The boy ends up changing for the girl because of how much he loves her. 

This correlates to our film because the girl character (me) dresses very beachy, and has a different mindset based on hard work and nature loving. Then the boy (adrian) comes along and makes it seem like nothing is that big a deal, not even school. His character is supposed to symbolize a very nonchalant guy who really doesn't care about anything especially not school. So if he doesn't get a good grade on something, he doesn't care. Meanwhile, G is very very anal about school, work, and even after school activities like going for walks and taking care of animals. If she gets a bad grade, it's the end of the world! 

This is supposed to show really on the actions of these two, plus the clothing that adds to it. And obviously clothing is apart of the mise-en-scene context, so it's very important and beneficial that we already have clothing down. 

Seeing as we have the clothing down, most of the script, equipment necessities, and our setting, we basically have most of the film done, we just have to take the next step and actually film, which we plan on doing this weekend. 

This weekend, all of our group is going to be together (Sav, me, Adrian, Amaris, and Alina who is a background character) because we're doing a movie night. So, we plan on filming one of the scenes where the girl is looking at the boys social media saying that she kinda thinks he's cute and showing her friends his account or talking about him and how she's seen him in school for a while.

She starts to describe him as her friends slowly understand what and WHO she's talking about, but they say that they would never work because they're polar opposites and would never work. She feels a little defeated and this is shown by putting a close-up shot on her face and then a tracking shot going outwards to show a sense of loneliness. The sense of loneliness is to show that she thinks her new crush would never like her, so she's defeated and feels like she'll never genuinely get her crush to like her back..SINCE THEY'RE POLAR OPPOSITES!!

Blog 24 - Filming Research

 Filming Research

Lately, I've been doing research on what film equipment would be better to use for producing this film. Sooo that means I was looking at different cameras, microphones, and lighting techniques to be able to film this at the best quality. So.. take a look at what I found

Camera

At first, we were just going to be filming on our phones but in cinematic mode to get the best out of our phone camera, but then me and Adrian were in Best Buy and I saw this camera in there, so I took a picture of it and looked it up later on.

I found that this camera is actually made for taking videos. It comes with a microphone and multiple different setting for video shooting. So, we made the big decision to buy this camera. At first Adrian suggested we just borrow a camera from the YouMedia place, but I didn't want anything to happen to their camera equipment as we are going to be filming where there is sand and water. I also didn't want to feel rushed to submit our video because of having to return the camera. 

I'm super excited to start filming on this camera, but since we need multiple camera angles, we're still going to be using the phone camera, but just not as much. I also did more research on how to use iMovie, and it looks pretty simple. I was playing around with it like on how to add background music and put subtitles and make different scene cuts, since we have to do it on a laptop now. 

Genre

Our group has decided on going with a romance and drama genre because that's what seems to fit our storyline the best. We need to start finalizing the script which won't be too hard since we're already working on it. There are specific movies we have in mind for this project, but we're not ready to share that as of now because of the complications of how many romance movies there are. We will talk more about genre very VERY soon.

Blog 23 - Costume Design

 Costume Design

Costume design is a very important role to any film because it helps SET the scene and make the film. And since our main characters are supposed to be "polar opposites" we wanted to make the guy a more chilled out style more of like a skater boy style, then the girl will be dressed in light colored clothing, and a beachy style - that's why they had their first date at the beach - because she loves the beach.

Boys outfit when couple is NOT together

We want to make this seem like a skater boy theme, like he's really into his dark style, not really into talking to many people

Boys outfit when couple IS together

The reason we want the boy to dress darker at first, then switch to being in lighter colored outfits so that way it seems like the boy "morphed" into the style of the girl, since the girl is always wearing lighter colored clothing. Having the sense that they morphed into one.

Girl Outfits before and during couple being together

The girl is supposed to be seen as outgoing, nature and animal loving. That's why she's always seen in beach clothing or at the beach. Even in school, she'd had her naturally curly hair or in a clip of a flower.

Blog 22 - Planning

 Planning

Every production needs planning, and due to the previous hiccups, we're still stuck in planning mode. Our group wanted to be way past this stage already, but some people don't want to move on. Buttt on the brighter side I've been coming up with some new ideas that me and Adrian seem to really like.

New Ideas / Add ons

So as you know, we're trying to film everywhere. One scene is going to be in the mall, one is going to be at the beach, and maybe one in school. So let me tell you what the plan is, scene by scene

Opening Scene

Main characters (me and Adrian) are walking on the beach and finding a place to sit where we can watch the sunset

I then say slightly laughing and smiling "remember when we had our first date here?" 

Adrian then says "remember the whole process of even getting here?" while chuckling. 

*the scene then fades out to make the reminiscing feel

Second scene - Reminiscing 

The girl (g) sees the boy (b) across the field during lunch. She then says to her friends "not gonna lie.." and before she could even finish her sentence the girls look over and say "please don't say it."

The girl does a light chuckle and says "I dont knoww it'd be nice. He seems really nice, do you think we'd match?" the girls then say.."No way! You guys are polar opposites. You don't even know him!"

Then all the girls laugh it off, and go back to talking. But g can't help but still think about him and occasionally look over.

OTHER SIDE - SCENE CUTS AND GOES TO BOYS POV

B never really talks about girls right away with his friends. He likes to stay on the quieter side until he knows for sure. BUT he does notice her over and over. So, he goes home after school that day and asks his cousin if he knows what her name is (coincidentally g and b's cousin sit next to each other in class) he then says "Yea! I think her name is Tati..she sits next to be in first period." B then says "Wow thats a coincidence" to himself to add non-diegetic sound. He finds her social media, and follows her. He's very nervous at this point because he doesn't know if she even knows he exists.

Third scene 

G then checks her phone, smiles super hard and accepts the follow, while following him back. 

G and her girls go to the mall the next day and end up seeing B with all his friends as well. She gasps and runs into a store very quickly. Her friends seem confused but follow her anyways. G then explains what she saw and her friends try to convince her to go out and talk to him. B and his friends end up walking into the same store they're in and G is completely dumbfounded on what to do.

Final Scene

To tie this up just because I don't want to spoil it all, G and B end up going on a date at the beach and having an amazing time. They then sit in the same spot their future selves sit in watching the sunset, then the scene fades into the present, the couple still sitting in the same spot, then smiling and saying "I can't believe we're here now" then the film ends as the sun disappears.

Blog 21 - Hiccups in Production Planning

 Hiccups in Production Planning

As you know, every production has some sort of hiccup or problem if you will. Well this one is one of the bigger ones. Recently, our group got into a disagreement because of the production, so we ended up getting into a fight of course. So, let's talk about it.

How it started

As you know, me, Savannah, and Adrian were planning the production last class, and everything was fine. Savannah had said she was going to tell Amaris so we could all be on the same page. (We really didn't think to really tell amaris while we were in class because she was in an important class at the time). So she ended up getting mad that we didn't consult her, which I understand, but she didn't want to answer the phone when we were trying to consult her. So anyways, we all decided as a group to talk about it (which we still haven't because someone doesn't wanna answer the phone) so I'm not exactly sure what were going to do. I brought up just doing the project with Savannah and Adrian because us three are the people that do the most work for the group, but she didn't like that either.

Resolving

I expresses Savannah and Amaris my concern, Amaris refused to apologize like always, and Savannah ensured me that we would make everybody have a job, so that no one was doing too much or too little. I'm hoping this plan sticks, but with the hostility, we might have to end up separating the group. That's the last thing I'd rely on, just because me, Adrian, and Savannah all work very well together, but if it means not giving credit where it isn't due, then that will be it.

Blog 20 - Final Decision

 Final Decision

So as you know, we've been trying to decide what plot we want for our 2 1/2 minute film because since it's for Cambridge, it needs to be GOOD! So..here is our final decision, and what our plan is for filming these amazing clips.

Our Plan

The picture about is our group deciding what we were going to film about (and let me tell you it was hard). Our group (Me,Adrian, and Savannah) decided to go with the setting on the beach. We decided this would be best for filming because of the fact that the beach would be a more quiet background. Since it would be a more quiet background, we are hoping for a more isolated setting, which would be better because it would create a more romantic setting, as well as the feeling of "no one else is around". The film will start off as the main characters (adrian and me) walking on the beach and finding a spot to sit. They then start talking about how ironic it is that they're at the same place they were on their first date. So they start reminiscing of the old days. The reminiscing scenes will start off with the girls friends saying how they're polar opposites and would never work. Then cut to the guys friends helping him come up with a plan on how to get with the girl. They then start smiling at each other in the hallways and talking to each other through social media, when they finally talk in school. The boy then decides to ask her out on a date, so they go to the beach. At the beach they play volleyball (which is a stereotypical beach date activity) and having a picnic while lightly joking with each other. 

We don't know how our group is going to be able to commute to the beach in multiple days because this project will take a bit of time. We want each scene to be a different setting (lighting wise). We plan to have them reminiscing when the sun is still up, but almost sunset. Then, when the reminiscing scene is over, we plan on having a clip of the sun actually going down. This will give the allusion that the couple was there for a long period of time, and actually trying to deep dive on what happened behind the scenes of their relationship. This is supposed to simulate a stereotypical relationship start that most teens nowadays go through. Crush stage - talking stage - liking stage - then dating.

Blog 19 - 2 1/2 Minute Video

 2 1/2 Minute Video

So I'm not going to lie..I didn't know we had to do a 2 in a half minute film for cambridge. I knew we had to do it, just not right now. It still feels so early in the year to be thinking about cambridge submissions that I didn't even think about it. So.. here are our brainstorms for our 2 minute film opening.

Brainstorming

So our first idea is going to be a love story between me and my real boyfriend Adrian, because since it's true, it'll be easier to make the CCR on and I could go into more detail with the film. So our idea is to start with walking around the mall or beach (we haven't decided yet) and say "Remember our first date here?" and it'll be like "a walk in the past". The video will be basically reminiscing everything like the process of us falling in love, getting together, everything. 

The plot is going to start with the friends on each side the (girls and boys) saying that we are polar opposites-that we'd never work. But then me and Adrian start talking more and more becoming close friends, then eventually falling in love and going on our first date.

We aren't sure whether we are going to do this at the beach or the mall because we think it'll be more of a  romantic setting if we do it at the beach, but then Miami beaches are very packed so we wouldn't know where to go. Also, the people filming in our group might not always be able to go out to the beach to film. Also, if anything were to go wrong with the scenes, we'd need to drive an hour and 45 minutes all the way back to the beach just to be able to re-film. 

The mall on the other hand, would the lesser option because it's loud and not at all a place for filming, BUT it's where most teenagers our age go nowadays to have their first date or walk around and hangout with friends, so it builds more ecological validity. I think we're gonna end up going to the beach, but we still need to figure it out some more so I'll get back to you shortly with the final decision. Also, here's a little behind the scenes clip of us planning ;).

Blog 18 - Cambridge Test Prep

 Cambridge Test Prep

So..in class this week and last week we were working on Cambridge test prep for this Media class. We have 2 papers. Paper 1 involves doing an essay with every detail from a video clip we watched. We are required to make 2 whole essays. The second essay is about our case study that we have to memorize, but we aren't there yet. So these past two weeks we've been working on Paper 1, and let me tell you..I've learned a lot.

Paper 1

So last week on Friday, we did the whole 30 minutes of watching the video clip like 4 or 5 times, then writing notes in between. For this whole paper we have 1 hour and 30 minutes which may seem like a lot of time, but the watching of the videos and note taking, TAKE 30 MINUTES OF OUR TIME. (which is not ideal at all but ok). So we have 1 hour and 30 minutes to write 2 WHOLE essays. So then while we watched the videos we made a whole chart which I didn't think was a big deal but it really helped with my essay at the end. Thats all we did that day, then Tuesday (today) we did the actual essay. This essay seemed very hard but she let us use our resources like our digital notebook, textbook, and notes from last class. So it was a piece of cake for me and I think I did pretty good on it seeing as how the writing mainly just flowed with me. I am scared that I didn't put much vocabulary in it, so i'm gonna work on that before the actual exam.

How this correlates with production

So since we had to look at multiple different camera angles and the meaning behind them, plus the lighting, EVERYTHING, it really helped me grasp how important these camera angles are and how important the music is. This will definitely help me not only get ideas but to make sure I have enough props and right lighting to be able to make me one of those Mise-en-scene charts that we made for the essay. My goal is that if I can't make one of those charts with my film, we're not done filming. I think this will make my films feel much more real and make more sense. This also helps with editing because if we make a chart for it, I'll know where to put in certain music, and where to adjust lighting effects.

Blog 17 - Love Story

 Love Story

Lately, I've been researching more CCR ideas, and my newest idea being a love story concept. I'll talk more about it now, but these ideas are mainly coming from previous CCR films that have already been published. I've also been watching multiple TikTok videos and YouTube videos on the CCR to really grasp the swing of things. I guess you could count that as some of my research for this class, as I'm trying my hardest to get as much knowledge about this CCR as possible.

More about my research

So our teacher was providing people extra credit if we went to You Media. You Media is a place in the local Miami-Dade library that provides people with multiple different instruments, cameras, 3D printers, and even computers that have Adobe on them, and they teach you how to use things like photoshop. I went in there having really no expectations but nonetheless I was happy to see that all those resources are available. They wanted me to get the You Media card to be able to get the extra credit but they would've taken my library card, so I said no (plus it smelled like dirty armpit, so I wanted to leave as soon as possible).

CCR

The CCR starts off with these two teenagers who are in love, walking in the park next to the lake enjoying the view, while a jealous girl from school is watching, wishing she could have the same thing they have. This mystery girl knows that they post videos about them and their films, so she goes up to them to ask about the films, but really just wants to know every detail about them. So, as she's approaching them, the girl gets up and they move to another location. The couple soon realizes that this girl is following them everywhere, so the couple keeps wondering who this person is. The man builds up enough courage to go up to this lady and ask her who she is and why she's following them. The lady then says she's sorry for following them and proceeds to ask the following 4 CCR questions.

This CCR would most likely be just a one video thing, so I'm not sure how it's going to look. But that's why we have these blogs, to make ideas and look back at them once we're ready. Let's just say I'm happy we don't have to film these yet because I'd feel completely lost. I feel like I need some more research surging for now, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it. It just seems like everyone that already did their CCR in previous years "took" all the great ideas, and I'm scared mine won't come out good enough for Cambridge, BUTTT more research awaits.
