CCR Planning
Now that I have completed the film by adding in the audio that I was missing, it is time to plan for my CCR. I used to provided questions as a guideline and tried to specifically plan and write a script where I answer them individually throughout my CCR. I will do this by screen recording my computer while doing a voiceover explain everything that the audience is looking at.
At first, I will take them through my blog and explain my developmental process throughout filming as well as explain all of the inspirations I took from my research and how I will use it to connect to the audience and reach out to as many viewers as possible. I will then take the viewer to iMovie, where I edited my film, and GarageBand, where I edited my audio. This will show how my production skills have developed and grown throughout this process.
Eventually I will show a YouTube video explaining how I was able to understand and mimic how real announcers talk at Track meets. I will post the outcome in my next post.

Editing
This week is going to be crazy, as it marks the end of my journey in this project. All I have left to do is record all the vocals as well as the CCR, and edit them into what I have done already in my project.
I met up with my friend Ethan and got him act as the announcer in my film. I went to his house and we recorded the voice over together. Here we are recording.
When adding in his voice over, I had to edit his actual voice and make it sound fuzzing and more realistic. I did this in garage band using the telephone feature as you can see below.

Editing Starts
After my filming took place at UF, I had a long car ride home to begin sorting through and editing the shots I had. I knew that I could not possibly finish it all because I still have two more shots/scenes to film back at my high school. However I decided to go ahead edit anyway. I pieced together my shots into an order that made the most sense and cropped them to fit each other as seamlessly as possible. I also threw a filter over every shot, this dealt with the problem of differing light situations at each shot location.

The image above is a screenshot of part of the opening scene that I filmed. This shows how I dulled the colts in the shot and over exposed it, allowing me to mask the differences between my two main film locations, my high school track and the UF track.
To wrap up my fist editing session in the car, I also slowed down all of my shots to 75% speed. This allows for more of a "flash-forward" feel without too much of a noticeable difference. All in all, I am very happy with the way my film is coming together at this point and look forward to wrapping everything up this next week!
FILMING!!!
This week marked the my journey up to the University of Florida to film most of my project. I arrived on Thursday and scouted out the location, to make sure everything was to be in place. To my liking, it was! With the knowledge that my filming was going to be executed well, I went back to my hotel and prepared for the physical filming I had to do the next day. I forgot to take pictures during my location scouting session on Thursday, but trust me, I did it.
Friday was pretty eventful and I was able to gather a collection of roughly 100 different shots from around the track. I mostly followed the map I had prepared for myself in my past post and hopefully executed the shots well enough to make a complete film opening with no holes. Below are 4 of the pivotal shots that I captured in their unedited versions.

While waiting to film, I decided to create my film title and title screen. I brainstormed with my main actress and friends, and we settled on the title of "Fast Lane". Now all that's left to do with the title is create the title screen. This is my process in creating the title and adding into the rough cut of the first shots of the film.
