Woah. I just finished almost everything. So far, my first CCR is completely finished, with my second one all filmed and ready to edit together, so I'll probably do that soon before I procrastinate until the very last second. Anyway, I am pretty freaking nervous about everything, but at the same time, I'm confident that I did awesome with both the film opening and CCR. It doesn't help that a couple days ago I had a horrible nightmare about not submitting the project on time (I woke up THANKFUL it wasn't real).
For filming, I relied on the Shot, Reverse Shot technique for talking to both the pig and the interviewer. When the camera was on me, I set it up at an angle, so I didn't need to look directly at the camera. I tried to use a wide variety of angles and even added some movement of my body to try and not align myself with the common "talking head" submissions.
While editing, I already had a good idea in mind for what I wanted to do about the pig sections. I had added a sound effect when the pig was talking, along with subtitles on top of those scenes to depict what the pig was saying. I added a bunch of little effect that came built in Adobe Premiere Pro, like the fade to black and fade from black to change up the setting of the scenes. I also added in a few screenshots of the subject I was talking out to add some variation to the CCR. These sightly zoom in to keep the movement of my CCR going and create more engagement than just a plain screenshot. I also added some scenes from our actual film opening to provide context to what I was talking about.
The PIG...
Here is the final look of the pig shot for the second CCR, I know it doesn't look that massive, but remember, this is the hallucinations of the pig, not the actual enlarged pig! (I know I sound crazy but trust the process)
Editing the first CCR together was so so so much fun, and I'm extra excited to finish everything up and hopefully upload the finished project by tomorrow!
