Production of CCRs

To get ready for filming the behind-the-scenes CCR, I wanted to find a background that would look like a behind-the-scenes area on a movie set. I didn’t want it to look too perfect or staged, but more like a casual space where someone might sit and talk about a project. I looked around and decided that my backyard would be a great spot. The greenery in the background gave it a natural, simple feel that fit the look I was going for.

Once I picked the location, I set up my tripod and placed my phone on it. Then, I grabbed a chair to sit in while I filmed. I kept everything simple to match the style of a behind-the-scenes interview, and I think it worked well for creating that “bonus feature” look I wanted. Combined with the clips of the film opening cut up through it makes it look even better.

For the second CCR video, I decided to keep it simple by making it look like a press junket interview. I thought the best background for this would be something clean and plain, so I chose a blank white wall in my house. It gave the video a simple and professional look, just like you’d see in a real interview setting.

To make the lighting feel more like an actual interview setup, I opened the curtains to let in more natural sunlight. Then, I used some adjustable lights and pointed them toward me to make sure my face was well-lit. This helped create a bright and balanced look on camera, which matched the press junket style I was aiming for. I made sure to also film myself walking into the interview and sitting down like a real-life one would.
