CCR Crazy, Again

Week Eight: Time Crunch

I honestly am more excited to film my creative, critical reflection than I was my film opening... oops. I don't want my CCR to be rigid or me staring at a camera answering four questions. I would like the information to come out naturally and allow each question to flow into the next. I plan on doing one take in front of the camera but then add inserts of me doing funny tasks that correlate back to my question. I also plan on including examples from the coming-of-age openings I watched and screenshots of data I found within my research. Both of these will be overlapped by my narration. The CCR doesn't seem too complicated: basic editing, personality, and information that I already wrote about in my blog or notes. 

My CCR notes. Yes, I handwrite my notes because I am a nerd. As I took notes, I wrote down what applied to my project. 
For example, question four asks how technology was integrated into our project. I quickly jotted down a few: Blogger, Adobe Premier, Google Docs, and Canva.
