Group meeting and help from peers!

    Today during class we had group meetings!

As my classmates and I gathered up into groups we went counterclockwise for everyone to talk about their own ideas and weaknesses within their projects. I felt productive, relieved as well as useful! I am relieved because talking to my classmates they made me realize how my film may look from a different perspectives, they were a big eyeopener. I was also glad I got to help with the script outline of one of the people in my group table. 

I also noticed I wasn't falling behind with my blog posting and editing time. However I did realize that the week to start shooting and editing will be finalized as of this week, so stay tuned for the next few blogs on my process. 

Here's a group shot of all of us!  I believe we all benefited from each other's constructive feedback and ideas for improving each other's projects. Their comments on my project were extremely helpful and i also took the chance to ask them about the credits scenes. Since I will be the videographer, editor and more I was questioning wether it was a good idea to put my name above every line. This was only until my classmate John told me it was okay to place the name multiple times and you can also switch it up by naming all the credit sections and finally put your name in front of all of them. 

Another opinion my classmates gave on my film opening was the production itself. I never realized but the purpose of my film can come out as a montage. For those of you who don't know what that means it is basically choosing, editing, and putting together pieces of footage to produce a continuous whole. Instead of my shots coming out to look like something portrayed, I have to make the viewer 'wait for their meal' now that is a saying that one of the producers in Disney said when making a TED TALK. Basically this saying portrays how the viewer is going to feel when they are looking at the first minutes of your story. Are you going to keep them captured inside? Or worn off into space.
