Group Meeting #2

Second Group Meeting 

Today, in class, we had our second group meeting, it was super helpful, since we talked about the CCR (creative critical response), some obstacles that we had, and about the opening itself. My group consisted of 6 persons (counting me) which one of them, had their film opening almost ready, and she showed it to us, and watching it really helped me a lot. It helped me see what difficulties I could face on the editing, or even while recording the parts that i haven’t done. 

Other projects

The first to go was Abrielle. She’s the one who showed us her opening, and I liked it really much. It was about an underage DJ, who struggled to DJ because of his underage. At the beginning it showed him ripping out the part of a poster of a party that said 21+, then he continued to produce more of his music, and the music starts playing. After showing him on his room producing music, the scene changes to a car scene, in which there’s a lot of people just dancing and feeling the music. I don’t know if my explanation of her project is the best, but you can always go check to her blog. One of her biggest obstacles was that she didn’t meet the time limit, because her opening was too. Short (1.38 out of 2.00), but she’s not that worried about that yet, because she hasn’t finished recording or editing. For her CCR, she had no idea what she wanted to do… Brianna gave her the idea to do a messy interview, like to have many “journalists” surrounding her and asking her each of the CCR questions. I think that Abrielle liked this idea, since it is creative, and fun

Me and my group :)

For the rest of the people, a similar process was done, they talked about their ideas and the rest gave critiques and suggestions. 

My Project

When it was my turn, I talked about my project, and about what I have recorded, but for the CCR i sort of had an idea, but my classmates gave me one much better… I told them that I had an idea, but that I didn’t love it, and one of my group members gave me the best idea that I couldn’t have possibly thought of… to have me in the place of Maverick, tied up in a chair, answering the question while I try to escape, to make it fun, and engaging. This idea is much better than doing a podcast, or a talk show, and just having a floating head…

Today’s group meeting was really helpful, and fun, and it helped me to give my classmates feedback, and I met really cool people. But anyways, this blogpost has ended, thank you for reading, and catch you guys in the next post!
