Pre-Production research: plans for my CCR

Plans for my CCR 

 Idea #1

I decided to start CCR planning in my pre-production research phase. So recently, I was scrolling on TikTok, as I usually do, when I came across a very intriguing edit of the Blair Witch Project (1999). I never seen the film before, but I started imagining how I could transform that film into my CCR. I decided to talk about my friend who knows more about the film then I do about how I can combine one of my ccr questions and the Blair Witch Project edit. This is out of my comfort zone completely since I really dislike the horror genre, therefore I would have to learn how to shoot, how to act, and how to edit; however, its a risk worth taking. It is just an idea for my ccr but the film in general is not made for me, so I may put my own twist in it.

Idea #2

For my second question, I was thinking of doing a live stream like ones done on Instagram or TikTok. Well not a real livestream actually, but it will be edited to look like an actual livestream, which is very fun and creative in my mind. During the "live" I can act like a livestream Tiktoker, saying very generic things they say on the lives to gain for traction and money. The whole gist of tiktok lives is to "gift" the live streamer with money gifts, so I can play around with the role and pretend to speak to my "viewers" while incorporating my answer the ccr question. I looked on Tiktok to see if I could find a filter that looks like an actual livestream, but I ended up finding a whole app dedicated for making fake lives. The app is called Fake Bluff, it incorporates AI to generate viewers, comments, and interactions that are based on what the person is doing and saying. This way, I can have the most realistic live stream without actually creating a live. This will still be in the works as I get closer to post-production phase.

Idea #3

During my chess film days, I made a skin routine ccr, where I basically did a skin routine like a Youtube influencer, and discussed one of my ccr questions. I really enjoyed doing this idea since I have a lot of interest in skin care. After getting great feedback from classmates, saying that it was very aesthetic and they definitely enjoyed it, I decided to do another one. I felt that it may be a little repetitive so I hope to bring in new products to showcase for this skin routine video.

Idea #4

For my final one I wanted to do something more written. I searched a few written social formats and a few that took my interest were:

• A diary
• A conversation via text message
• An advertisement 
• A newspaper article
• A journalist article
• A magazine
• A social media post 
• A book blurb or back cover

I still have time to fully explore these options and decide which one I want to roll with for my last CCR. It's helpful to have ideas brewing now so that later I will not have any last minute struggles trying to figure out my CCRs.
