CCR Question 3 Script

For CCR questions three and four my idea is to make them like a modern-day promo with a dark background in a hotel room.

PRESS JUNKET INTERVIEW SCRIPT

INTERVIEWER:
How did your production skills develop throughout this project?

DIRECTOR:
This project really pushed me as a director. At first, I knew how to handle basic shoots, but taking on a sports drama meant managing bigger setups multiple cameras, choreographing action scenes, and coordinating character movement, especially during those intense training sequences.

Cut to BTS footage of the director setting up football scenes, and guiding during drills.

DIRECTOR:
I improved my ability to pre-visualize. I learned to think ahead, designing shots that not only captured the action but also told the emotional story underneath. It wasn’t just about showing training it was about showing the relationships on and off the field.

Cut back to DIRECTOR at the junket.

DIRECTOR:
I also developed a sharper eye for lighting and color. We used warmer tones to make the character’s personal moments feel intimate, and cooler shades for the tension during competitive scenes. Before this project, I didn’t fully appreciate how much color palettes can affect tone.

DIRECTOR:
And honestly sounds. I dove deeper into how background noise, like breath control, weights, and contact with the field adds to the realism of a sports film. It became clear how vital sound design is in elevating the audience’s immersion.

DIRECTOR:
I came out of this more confident, more collaborative, and more prepared for complex projects. It’s been the biggest step in my filmmaking journey so far.
