CCR Research question #4

 Hey guys! In this blog post I will be discussing my last question (question #4) for my CCR project.

This is the question:

- How did you integrate technologies—software, hardware, and online—in this project?

Hardware:

In my film opening, I was able to integrate technologies (software, hardware, and online) during the production. To start, for hardware, I used filming equipment like cameras. I used a Sony ZV-1F. This camera is an entry-level vlogging camera. It has a 20mm lens that allows for people to fit more of the background into the frame. This is good for showing surroundings and creating a better experience for the viewers. It also helps capture the crisp details of Maya's reaction and expression during the controversial photo.

I used an iPhone for the scenes where Maya checks her phone and where she is confronted about the photo of "her." The phone is a central part of the film, as it is an important item for the story of the film. I used close-up shots to show the screen of Maya's phone when she was checking the notifications and close-ups when in the scene of Maya seeing the photo.

Software:

I used CapCut to edit my film shots and clips, which helped me edit the film and create a good-looking result. I was able to smoothly put the scenes together, adjust the pacing, and apply color correction for the shots that came off too dark.

For the editing, I also was able to incorporate text writing for the beginning credentials. 

I used background soundtracks to make my film to set the mood into a calm vibe. For example, in the introduction, where it leads up from the hallway to Maya's bedroom, where she is first seen sleeping.

This is what I have found when researching so far for this last question.
