Behind the Scenes of My CCR Talk Show
For my Creative Critical Reflection (CCR), I wanted to do something fun, engaging, and different from the usual sit-in-front-of-a-camera video. I took inspiration from The Tonight Show and turned my CCR into a late-night talk show interview. Instead of answering questions directly, I had my friend Candelaria play the host while I was the guest, making it feel like a real conversation.
The Production Process
Filming this was a mix of fun and chaos. Since we wanted it to feel natural, we made sure to time our responses well so the conversation flowed smoothly. We filmed both of our parts in the same setup, keeping the lighting soft and clean to match a talk show vibe.
One of the biggest things we focused on was making the dialogue feel real. Even though we had a script, we didn’t want it to sound too stiff, so we added little reactions and pauses to make it feel more natural.
For the background, we kept it simple so the focus stayed on us. Audio was another challenge—we had to make sure our voices were clear and matched in volume.
Challenges & Funny Moments
One of the hardest parts was getting the pacing right. There were times when we accidentally talked over each other or left too much silence between responses, so we had to refilm certain sections. Editing also took a while since I had to cut everything together in a way that felt like a real interview.
Funniest moment? Candelaria kept on messing her part up and had hilarious reactions to it. We could not stop laughing.
Final Thoughts
This project was a blast to film, even with all the little challenges. Doing a talk show-style CCR made it way more engaging than just talking to the camera, and having a real host made it feel natural and fun. It definitely pushed my editing and directing skills, but in the end, I’m really happy with how it turned out.
Would I do a talk show format again? Definitely! But next time, I’d give Candelaria an easier intro line to read. 😆
