Instead of just giving regular answers to the questions, I chose to use more creativity in the creation of my CCR videos. I recorded the videos at my friend's house. We pretended that I was being held captive and that I could only be released if I correctly answered two questions in each video. I had to answer the two questions for each of the two CCR videos I had to create. In order to make the recording feel more like a scene than a typical school assignment, we made an effort to make it more unique. My friend Simon helped with recording the video and made sure that everything was clear and that the camera angles looked good.
I realized throughout filming that setting up the idea in advance made the production run much more smoothly. The hostage idea made the video interesting and special when compared to other ideas I had, when compared to just sitting in front of the camera and speaking. In addition, we had to think about the camera's placement, the room's lighting, and how I would clearly and actually respond. I had to focus on giving accurate answers to the CCR questions so that each aspect of my project seemed clear, even though it was intended to be slightly humorous.
In perspective, I believe this concept improved the CCR's recall and attraction. It helped me show my creativity while still describing the important parts of my project. Since we had more space and time to film at my friend's house, the process also became easier. In general, creating the CCR in that way allowed me to combine my creativity with an explanation of my work, giving the video a more personal feel than an average school presentation.
I got my idea from the movie The Dark Knight, when Batman interrogates the Joker. I was scrolling on my phone when I saw a clip of this, which sparked this idea of the hosting CCR videos.
