Here is the script for question 4 of my CCR:
[Phone Rings, Friend Picks Up]
Me: Hey! How’s it going?
Friend: Hey! Good, just chilling. What’s up?
Me: So, I’ve been thinking a lot about Fallen Rhythm lately, especially about all the tech I used during production. It’s crazy how much I had to work with, but also how I had to make the most of what I had.
Friend: Oh, I bet. What kind of tech did you use?
Me: Well, the main thing I used was my phone for the camera. I didn’t have a professional camera to work with, so I had to make do with my phone, but it actually turned out pretty good. For lighting, I used a ring light, which was the only light I had. I wanted the film to have a darker, shadowy feel, so I used the ring light to create some shadows around Triana while she was dancing. It helped keep the vibe moody and tense, but it was also tricky to make sure the shadows were where I wanted them.
Friend: Nice! So, the ring light was the only light?
Me: Yeah, exactly. Since the whole aesthetic was darker with shadows, the ring light was the perfect tool for that. It was kind of a challenge though, because I had to position it just right to make sure it didn’t light up the whole room too much but still kept Triana visible. It worked out, but it was definitely a bit of trial and error.
Friend: That sounds a little tricky, but it seems like you made it work. What about sound?
Me: For sound, I had to get creative. I used a wired headphone as a microphone. It wasn’t ideal, but it worked for what I needed. I couldn’t afford a good mic, so it was just about getting decent sound while filming the dance scenes. Not perfect, but enough for this project.
Friend: That’s pretty smart! What about editing? How did that go?
Me: Editing was where things got a bit complicated. I used Premiere Pro for most of it. I already had some basic knowledge, but when it came to all the effects and advanced features, I had a bit of a learning curve. I had to watch a lot of tutorials and try things out before I figured it out. For the text and fonts, I used Canva. And for any graphic design work, I turned to Photoshop to create and tweak the visuals.
Friend: So you had to learn as you went, huh?
Me: Yep, exactly. Premiere Pro was a challenge at first. I knew the basics but had no idea how to use the more complex tools. It took me a while to feel comfortable, but after some trial and error, I got the hang of it. It’s crazy how much you can learn just by figuring things out as you go.
Friend: That’s awesome. So, what did you take away from all of that?
Me: Honestly, I think the biggest thing I learned was how to work with the tools I had and adapt. I didn’t have the best equipment, but I made it work with my phone, the ring light, and the headphones. It wasn’t perfect, but I figured out how to make the production look good anyway. I also feel way more comfortable with editing software now, and I know that’s going to help a lot in future projects.
Friend: That’s really impressive. Sounds like you learned a lot. I’m super excited to see it all come together!
Me: Thanks! I’m excited too. It’s been a lot of hard work, but I’m really proud of how it’s turning out. Can’t wait to show you!
Friend: For sure. Hit me up if you need anything!
Me: Will do. Talk soon!
[Call Ends]
