Question 1 of CCR Script
My idea to answer the first and second has shifted a bit since my last blog post. Since I realized my last idea of a simple talking head was wayyyy too boring. My new idea is to film myself near my pool and have different angles of myself swimming and floating on my pool and answering the questions. So here is the script for the first question

Group Meeting
Today in class we had our second group meeting. I was not in class for the first one so I was a bit confused at the start. In the beginning we discussed our film opening ideas and what we have created so far. Most of the group showed us footage from their film. Then we discussed ideas for our CCRs. We came up with a few good ones. We could do an interview Hot Ones or a wired interview type story. There was also a crazy idea of a police chase for a CCR.
With the first member of the group I am going to discuss is Aneesa. Her project is called Ataraxia and it is about the end of the world. There is a girl who doesn't care about the world ending. It is a very interesting story. We were told about the special effects that she was going to use to make the planet and it was a very interesting project. Aneesa also came up with the Wired interview.
The next member I would discuss is Max. He had a very interesting story about a girl in a time loop. The project it self is pretty good with high quality camera work. There are also nice transitions. Max also came up with a very interesting CCR idea. He was going to do a scene where he runs over someone. While he is driving he will be answering the questions about the CCR. Then his second part will be his trial where the judge will be asking him the questions.
There were some other group members but there stories were not as interesting as Max's or Aneesa's.

Problem solving
Color Grading
When I was first coming up with this Idea, I knew that I wanted the project to be very cinematic. There was a major step that needed to be taken to make a project cinematic. Color Grading, now I had very limited experience with color grading. I wanted this to have a similar colors and lighting to the 2023 movie "The Color Purple". There are many very visually pleasing shots with warm colors and sunny shadows. I wanted to replicate this in my own project but I did not know how to just yet. I practiced by color correcting some still shots on practice websites such as Lift Gamma gain. Then I was finally confidant to start with grading my footage.
This is the shot I started out with.
I learned from my research that many historical cinematic films have this warm color scheme and I wanted to implement it into my story. I started off with finding other films with warm color grading such as "The Color Purple". I think I created a good result that matches other historical movies and looks pretty good.
I selected these setting for the mid tones, shadows and highlights to give it that warm feeling. (The setting are at the bottom of the blog post) I actually added some warmth and yellow tint to the shot as well. These setting transformed my shots from ammeter looking to more advanced and cinematic.
