CCR Production

 Creating my two different videos for my CCR was a very fun process that allowed for lots of creativity and ingenuity to result with a product that I was satisfied with.

For the video relating to questions 1 and 2 my friend Federico was kind enough to help me out and be my host on this show. Originally in the script we had planned for the foods that I was to eat was a pickle and a carrot, as I don't like those foods, but I forgot to grab the carrots at the store and was trying to figure out how to solve this problem. As I was scouring through my kitchen, my brother gave me this candy he had gotten from one of his teachers. On the label it looked foreign and had an odd looking flavor that I couldn't understand as it was in a different language. We all assumed it was avocado flavored and couldn't be too bad. When we shot that scene we all had no clue what was it would taste like. As I ate the hard candy I bit into it, and that is when the flavors hit my mouth and I had to rush to the bathroom. That candy was definitely not for me and that reaction in the video is my real reaction to its taste. In the end it made for a good video so it was all worth it.

For the video relating to questions 3 and 4 I wanted to do a street interview type of video like the ones seen on social media, but I though the idea of filming on the glasses would be a nice unique touch that could separate it from the others. At first I was hesitant and a little bit anxious as I wasn't sure how good the quality of the audio would come out especially with other elements contributing to the soundscape such as wind, other people, cars, and the usual bustle of a city center. This turned out to not be a problem at all and the quality of not only the audio but also the visual elements from the glasses camera impressed me. I had my friend Nico be the filmer and he was the one wearing the glasses. during shooting. This was a lot of fun to film as it was in public with lots of people watching us which made it awkward but funny at the same time.

Overall the production of these two videos for the CCR portion of this project was a very nice addition to the project that allowed me to think deeper about the decisions I made throughout this project in relation to several different aspects.
