CCR #3

 The next question to answer in my CCR is question number 3. This question is a whole lot easier than questions 1 and 2. In this question I need to reflect on my process and how I evolved throughout the production. So now that I have realized that question 3 and 4 are easier than questions 1 and 2 I am most likely going to pair question 1 and 3 together and question 2 and 4 together.

                        How did you evolve throughout the production process?

        At first I was struggling a lot, I didn't want to do my work, I thought it was annoying and too time consuming. As each week passed the blog posts felt easier and more doable. I was flying through these blog posts now. Then the blog posts felt harder to do and I would procrastinate and my schedule would be all over the place and I just couldn't take it, I had to do something. So I decided on doing my blogs earlier on in the week, I did this one time and then stopped because the workload with my other classes and these blogs were stressing me out. At first this project had me very upset but it's not like I could do anything because this is my final and I need to do good on it to pass the class. So I decided to suck it up and just do my work. I thought the blogs were hard and then I got to the actual production and then editing. This was horrendous, I was stressing even more than before because I needed to do so much more work and put in so much time and effort. I'm not usually the type of person to put so much effort into something and I usually procrastinate so I was surprised that I had even done most of my work on time. So I went from being a procrastinator early on in the year to a person who actually does their work and gets things done.

                 

 What were some things that helped you during this project?

In relation to the year some previous project that helped me during this project was the sound project and the one word film project. The sound project played a very big role in my portfolio project because it gave me background knowledge and experience in creating a soundtrack for my portfolio project. When I had originally done the sound project I hated it. It took me so long to do and adobe was planning on my downfall because I wasn't able to export it to send to my partner. I hated doing the sound project, it might've been my least favorite project this year. However, I am now glad that I had done it because it let me have an advantage towards creating the soundtrack for my portfolio project. Also the one word film helped out as well because it allowed me to put different shots together in a way that allowed a story to be made. Then I added over some music in relation to the film to create the mood. During this project I learned how to be a better actor and edit my shots together. I'm glad for the previous experience with projects because without it I would not have been able to get through this project.
