Hello and welcome back!
I'll be completely honest with you I have been putting this off because I just don't wanna write.
Anyways, let's get this over with.
last class was very helpful we had our first group meeting. Basically, we met with our classmates, discussed ideas, issues, and concerns regarding our projects.
My group was made up of my classmates: Maia, Luke, Isa, Vanessa, Giovanna, and Emma (and Me! duh)
I'll leave the links to their blogs here so you can go check out their stuff:
Everyone had some really great ideas for their film openings. I think Maia's was my favorite though. Not that the others didn't have great ideas but hers seemed very fun and lively. Her idea is about a girl who starts a blog as a way of proving to people that she can amount to things in life. We all went around giving suggestions on how to improve her idea. I suggested she make her credit scenes a typing sequence with immersive sound and visuals.
I went second in my group and everyone had some really helpful advice. In my film I wanted to have an overhead shot of the girls laying down on the merry-go-round but I didn't know how best to capture it. Maia suggested I used a ladder and someone films overhead with a tripod/selfie-stick . This could work but I'm still thinking about other alternatives.
Another issue I hadn't thought about yet is my title cards and credit sequences. Maia suggested this really cool idea that I think I'm going to use. She said that I could insert the film name (Title) right after the best friend gets hit by the car. The screen can cut to black show the title and than transition to the funeral, GENIUS!
Emma also suggested another idea that I could start off with the best friend already being a ghost. I've played with this idea a bit but I'm not too sure how I'd execute it.
Luke and a couple others said that they liked the idea but were worried it might be too much to squeeze into 2 minutes. I'm pretty nervous about this too but I think it's doable (hopefully). If its not I'm pretty shit out of luck so do me a favor and cross your fingers for me!
Overall, this meeting really helped me to realize what I needed to adjust and helped me to look at my project from another point of view so if anyone from my group is reading this, Thanks guys!
Some honorable mentions:
Isa's film idea: Appears as horror but turns out to be a fun teenage story between two polar opposite friends
Giovanna's film idea: She either wants to do suspense, or CoA. She's leaning more towards suspense though and knows she wants to do something mysterious in a lab. We suggested she use the forensics or biomed classrooms.
Emma's film idea: Mystery/Suspense story about a girl stuck in a prison or a cage.
Vanessa's film idea: She wanted to do a Thriller/Suspense about a kid that was bullied who than goes on to kill his bully. (think Adolescense)
P.S., I'm only now realizing I can be less formal with my blogs. Also don't forget to check out my groups blogs!
XOXO, Gossip Girl
