Oh... there's more..?

     Everyday I'd traverse throughout the Canvas course for AICE Media Studies AS, and when I looking at the blog postings we should be writing about, and I always scrolled down to the bottom, near where "WEEK SIX" was at, see "research for your CCR" and I'd think to myself, "that's in such a long time! I'll focus on it when I actually have to get to it!" Oh... was I wrong and sooooo naïve. Apparently there's more filming. I am so, very tired, and the light at the end of the tunnel here is the fact that this is due in a little over two weeks. But that's also the reason I'm panicking. TWO WEEKS!!! That's NO time at all. But. I will prevail, as per usual.

    After looking over my CCR notes, I've been thinking... brainstorming, even. The first question is asking me "how does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?" To that, I had no idea (initially), but I got in the zone and came up with something: sketch comedy. However, let me reiterate... I did not invent sketch comedy, but I will be making and writing a skit for my CCR, cause I just love sketch comedy. I will be mostly taking inspiration from sketch comedy channels such as Smosh, Tomska, and especially SNL, since I watched those channels the most when I was a wee lad.

The type of microphone stand I'm envisioning

    However, I also plan to add in my own twist. I love watching stand-up comedy and watch it turn out really bad... it's actually hilarious. I intend to play a comedian in my CCR, talking and making jokes out of the question being asked of me and inserting laugh tracks, cricket noises, etc. You get the point. Props I'm thinking of including is a microphone stand, hopefully some curtains, and a sore attempt at a spotlight. At this point, I might even just ask to rent out a whole comedy venue. 

Lighting I want – dim, emotional, playful, even

    I want the energy of this whole comedy skit to give Panic! at the Disco's concert when they were live in Denver 2006. Something playful, stupid, and the type of thing where you don't know what's coming next. I love the whole entire aesthetic of Panic! at the Disco, so there's no denying that said aesthetic consisting of burlesque, victorian, mixed themes isn't gonna be incorporated into my CCR. Overall, I'd like to think of this post as my vision board.
