CCRs are done!

 Ah! I finished editing my CCRs. I can't believe how fast this project has gone by. It feels like I just started my journey yesterday. Editing my first CCR was a bit tricky. I wanted to add a lot to me getting ready because I didn't want it to be boring, so I added clips from my opening. I also added clips from other movies and also some articles (which I credited of course) I was referencing as I was speaking in my video. This sounds a bit confusing so let me show you how the editing screen looks like. 

Here's what it's looking like-

As you can see here, there's clips overlayed on top of each other

I think these clips make the video more engaging and entertaining. I'm glad I added this detail, I think the CCR might have been boring if I hadn't. To credit all the sources I used, I had the idea to use a credits screen at the end (kind of like how movies do it). 

This is what I'm referencing- 

It was very easy to add this at the end of my CCR since iMovie has a template for scrolling credits- 

I changed the font a bit on mine because I didn't like how they made it bold but besides that it looks super similar. I thought this was a super cute way to incorporate something that happens in film into my CCR. I didn't know how to cite my sources without it being too much on screen but as soon as I saw this template I knew I had to do it this way. 

Here's what mine looks like!

Most of my resources I used I had already found due to previous research I had done ( which is shown on my blog). However, I had to do some research for my first CCR (the getting ready one), which I totally forgot to mention in the last post! I did research on target audiences for dramas and found this awesome website that drew everything out for me, I'm so thankful I found it. 

Here's a picture of the website-

They also have a chart on there, isn't that amazing?! According to this website the target audience for dramas is mostly women that range from the ages 18-29. I think my film opening is perfect for this target audience since the main character is a woman and women are the target audience. The main character being the same gender as the target audience may grab their attention and create a sense of relatability. Also, being in your early adult life, i've heard, can be very emotional and difficult. So I think the fact that this piece is emotional and a bit sad is perfect for this audience.
