Group meeting #1

     

        Today during my class period the entire class got split into groups, the idea of being split into groups would help us develop our films in case we didn't know what we should do if we were stuck or just needed some ideas. My teacher split our class into groups of 6 Danielle, Nicole, Andre, isa, and Diego we all shared our ideas and gave good and helpful critiques.

    The first person who gave their idea for their story was isa. Isa watched a lot of different movies about her genre which is coming of age, she didn't really have much of a plot but she has done a lot of research and has gotten a small idea of where she is headed. The two people who had the hardest idea might be Danielle or Andre. Danielles idea was a horror thriller genre and wanted to use her mom's eye doctors office into a crime scene, she doesn't have her full plot and characters but wants to be able to put on a pair of glasses so you can almost see dead people but we gave her the idea that she can touch things and it will bring her into the persons perspective of when they died. Her idea was very neat and different but it had a lot of editing and could be hard to build a plot off of that. For Andre his idea involves a lot of editing since his genre is action, we gave him the heads up he should start filming soon since editing is going to take up a lot of his time. Andre doesn't have too much of a plot for his story but he knows where the story is going to take place in his garage as a poker room vibe. I thought Nicole was very helpful at giving ideas and she knew where everyone's story should start to develop how to get their story process moving.

     For my film opening I didn't really know where I wanted my story to start but I have got a really good idea of where it is heading after being in groups. I think that being in groups with other people really helped develop where my story should go since 5 other peoples ideas are totally different and have so much to offer. I got major help on my credit scene that my partner and I should do. the idea got brought up that I should use instagram as a way to do my credits for example, I could be scrolling on my feed but I click on someones user and the name would be "directed by..." that would be a cool easy and fun idea I thought would work since it won't take too much time away from my actual opening either since time is so limited when working on this.

      I thought that going into groups was super helpful in my opinion and gave me a lot of new ideas that were so smart I never thought of before the meeting. Most of the group were all on the same pace we didn't really have our full committed plot but we had a good idea that should help us through-out the week. I took many notes down on how I could improve my video but also take note of what other people are doing maybe to get a little more Inspo on what else I could improve. After we were finished with the group meetings my partner and I got together and shared all of the great ideas we got from being in different groups.
