How Would I Answer the CCR Questions in The Form of A Video Essay?:
The Following is An Example of A Video Essay Discussing No Country for Old Men (2007):
Approaching answering the CCR's questions in the form of a video essay is one that's personally interesting to me, as I frequently watch video essays on films, video games, and other media in my free time on platforms like YouTube. With this prior exposure to video essays, I'm quite familiar with how they're typically structured and will be basing my approach's conventions off of this. I would likely choose to approach each question one-by-one having footage from the opening sequence play in the background as I commentate over how the film opening contributes to the subject matter each question concerns. I would also include examples from other films in order to emphasize the points I make, and provide more clear context for the viewer. Whilst this approach may not be as engaging as the more active conversation-style of a podcast, I'd want my commentary to be thought-provoking whilst still answering the CCR's questions. The best way to do something like this is to set-up an audio recording software like Audacity, or even the iPhone's Voice Memos app, and simply commentate over clips of footage I will string together. It's extremely likely that I'll include text and image elements in order to provide some visualizing feedback to the viewer of what I'm talking about. I would have to draft a script for such a broad approach however, ensuring to not make the script sound too clinical in its delivery, as video essays often have a more engaging "conversation with a friend" approach to narration.
