Choosing My CCR Format

Hi blog!

Today I'll be choosing my CCR formats! Here goes:

My thought process is that CCR Questions 1 and 2 seem more complicated than Questions 3 and 4, so it'd probably be best to do something that allows me to engage in dialogue.

I think an enhanced podcast with an interview style discussion would work for this. The engaging dialogue would keep it dynamic while allowing me to reflect on the project. The interaction would be between a host and guest, and I could use my skills in Audacity and sound design to add music transitions, an advertisement section, and even sound bites from the film to avoid it just being talking.

For Questions 3 and 4, I wanted to even be more creative, so I thought about existing formats that are popular on Youtube and how they could be adapted. One thing I found while researching was the Wired Google Autocomplete interviews.

Copying these wouldn't be creative, but I brainstormed about potential similar formats, and I thought about going through my Google Search History.

I could sign into a new Google account or go into a new browser and type in questions that I can answer in a video. The video would include the questions from the Search History on screen as well as voiceovers where I explain how the questions and the research they led to shaped my production. To keep things engaging, I can include cutaways to footage and screenshots. 

I think these are creative ways to explore my production in depth, keeping the viewer/listener engaged while fully answering each question. 

I have a lot of work to do making these ideas a reality so see you next time!
