CCR script
CCR Script
Hey everyone! I hope everyone is good! just letting you guys know it's a national holiday, aka.... MY BIRTHDAY!! Sorry but I am FINALLY 16 so I think everyone should celebrate. Anyways, I wanted to come here and share my CCR script which took me quite a while to make. I had to consider essential questions during the development of the script. I mentioned several details about what it was like working with Hannah, how I felt during the process, and how the concept would entice audiences. Below is my script, let me know what yall think about it.

Editing journey
Editing Journey
Yolo queens! Wow, Hannah and I have not gotten a break from all this yet! After hours and hours of editing in Hannah's room AND mine, we finally finished our film opening. This was probably the most time-consuming part of the whole project, but I think that using CapCut, it was much easier and faster that way. For me, editing has never been one of my strongest skills. I am good at developing an idea, acting, filming, creating the set design, and thinking about costume design. After discussing it, Hannah openly told me that she knew how to edit and was actually good at it. So we got right to work after filming everything we needed to. Hannah and I spent about eight hours working and playing around with CapCut, in other words, Hannah did most of the editing while I was next to her for moral support since every time I tried to edit, I would screw something up.
The very first thing Hannah and I did was take all the footage and insert it into the editing platform. We wanted to cut any unnecessary footage that didn't work out or was useless. We thought it was better to have an excessive amount of time than less so that all we had to do was cut down on numerous clips. I actually made an album with my phone with every piece of content we created because, more most of it, it we used my phone as the main source of filming tool. Below is the album of all footage and content created by yours truly.

Film shooting extended
Film shooting extended
Hey ya'll! I'm back with nothing but more and more updates on me and Hannah's film opening project! So although Hannah and I are mainly finished with the process, we still had a few clips that needed to be filmed in another location...
Change of scenery
So as you guys know, Hannah and I wanted our character to be watching a film that inspired her to follow her dreams and become an aspiring actress regardless of her unfortunate circumstance of being in a wheelchair after looking at the directions again. Hannah and I realized we screwed up and had to make EVERYTHING from scratch. So we knew that using the "Rocky Balboa" film could not be an option; we would have to make our own film. So Hannah and I were brainstorming about what kind of film we could do. Originally, we were going to make a film with me being the lead, and it would mainly focus on a girl and a man in the kitchen; this would be set in the 50s in black and white when women were meant to be housewives. The woman was going to stand up for herself and her rights. But we realized that I couldn't be the star in the film we're making and the film I am watching in the film opening. Also, making this would require a male role; we did not have that in our favor. So, developing the concept would take too much time and require too much effort. So, we decided to make a documentary with Hannah's mom as the lead role. She would be acting as if she was an actress and sharing her story with fans in an interview. She would be inspiring young people to follow their dreams no matter the circumstance. I wrote the script and held it up as she read off of it while Hannah filmed with her tripod.
Some things we did when shooting this portion used different angles and shots to create more of a realistic and entertaining documentary. We cut each line of the script so that each line had a different angle or shot so that the footage was not too continuous. Examples are shown below...

Lighting/mise-en-scene
Lighting/ mise-en-scene
So I wanted to quickly go over with you guys what we did for the lighting and mise-en-scene elements of the opening. I will be discussing what we did, how did it, and why did it so that ya'll get a little bit more insight.
Blue hues
In regards to the lighting of the film, Hannah and I used more blue tones to portray the emotional aspect of the film. Blue, being the dominant color used, can signify a lot of meanings to the audience. It can mean coldness, isolation, calm, loyalty, melancholy, etc. In this case, it would be melancholy. Our character is dealing with self-discovery and when Stella looks is at the movie theatre and watches this film, it inspires her but also makes her realize that she is unable to chase her dreams and be the star she was born to be. Below is an image of part of a clip that we filmed which it involves our main subject and the blue reflecting back at her.
