The making of Ccr
As part of the film, I had to answer 4 Creative Critical reflections.These reflections are about my process through the production of Brush Stroke.For them to be creative , I wanted to try different styles of videos to answer them.But before doing all of this I first had to answer the questions and figure out the styles of the questions. I first answered the reflections in a text form which I used as a script and once I was done i decided the style of videos.
How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or
issues?
During the preproduction phase while still figuring out the story I cam across Walter Sickert a famous artist who was seen as perturbed and obsessive with murder cases. this reminded me of the tortured artist trope. A well-known trope where an artist who is struggling in life, usually has a type of mental illness, and is sometimes misunderstood, and usually they are is a creative genius.A well used trope that has some merit to real life if you look at some of the most famous artists and my film uses this trope as my character is an artist that’d dealing with mental health but not in the conventional way. For tortured artist their art is an escape in which they create masterpieces. This trope has a trouble side as its been argued to romanticizes mental illnesses, makes it like mental illnesses are a key to creative and that suffering is worth it to create art..This is not something i want to represent I was to represent the artist that struggle to do their hobbies because of their personal struggles.And how mental health can be debilitating.

Ever since watching who framed roger rabbit, and seeing all that beautiful animation on top of live action.It kind of blew my mind, like the technology they used to create all of that.I mean look at that live action hanker chief being moved by a 2d woman! This made the film very memorable and re-watchable . I wanted to do that with my film.I wanted my audience to see the animation and go like wow. It would steal their attention with the bright colors and fast animation, and maybe hopefully they would be able to watch it more than once to see little details added in.To make rewatch easier I would distributed through youtube as its the biggest platform to show films to an audience without payment, fees or contracts that are required unlike traditional media like theater or in streaming platforms.
In this I wanted to do a blog type of style, one were I could talk to the audience.
- How did your production skills develop throughout this project?-talk over
The creation of this film really tested my skills. I mean in general I had to learn a whole new medium, animation.I had never done animation and especially animation on top of video.Especially dealing with the planning.The process of incorporating animation into the production of my film was difficult. Story Boards helped a lot as it signal where animation happened, but while taking shots it was with the ideas of how the animation would look.This meant that I had to direct the actor a lot as It was especially challenging for her. Especially through out this whole second part, she had to interact with nothing and the only thing she knew about the movie was from my explanations. To counterbalance this I re-enacted the scenes while explaining what she was supposed to do.This helped a lot as she copied what I was doing and it helped her be more confident.
This is going to be a directors commentary on top of the film.
- How did you integrate technologies – software, hardware and online – in this project?
.The most interesting integration of technologies in this project was during the post production phase. With the addition of animation it meant that the process in editing would be different compared to other projects.My post production was divided into 4 sections. First it was the video edit .This edit was to put the clips together, color correction video effects, and other visual effects needed There was no sound as the sound was reliant on the animation happening on the screen and this wouldn’t happen until later. This edit alongside the rest of the editing were done in the free version of DaVinci resolve.A program that I had prior experience and was simple to use.Then I moved the film put together to my iPad 13 through the use of google drive.a cloud service that allowed me to have the clips in multiple devices at once . I needed the video edit on my iPad to use Procreate Dreams an animation software that worked was iPad exclusive. IN procreate dreams I animated on top of the footage in 30 second interval clips as that was the limit of programs.With the animation done i used google drive again to transfer the videos to DaVinci resolve.This time it was only sound editing, which with the animation was a quicker process.With that done it was time to render the final cut.I Used Youtube as a way to share the final cut of my film.

In this question I decided to make puppets with a little room.These puppet were different emotions of a character and I would changed them depending on the conversation.

This one will be a PowerPoint presentations showcasing the process that I described.
These scripts were guidelines and depending on how it went while recording things could be changed or added.
