Group Meeting #2

GROUP MEETING #2

My classmates and I were sat down in a group to do our second group meeting but this time we were asked to explain our plot/story for our opener and explain our ideas for our CCR Question #1.

The first blog that I saw was ilovepalito's blog which seemed to be the one with the most progress, their project has already been started, and they have a majority of their video recorded. I love the idea of the inside of the car and the camera being rotated for a very unique shot. The obstacles of the shot though were the lighting and they said they were going to reshoot it, but I still thought it was a great idea and added lots of character to the blog. We told them ideas for the CCR video, and they put it into account.

Here's the group!

Another blog that had a lot done was Vouran, she and her group recorded in the Indian trace park and used very fancy equipment, their story is about a bully who later dies, one of her obstacles her and her group had to go through was a old lady hogging the bench at Indian trace park but they were then able to find a way around it. They talked about how they all met up and recorded the whole thing, we also gave her suggestions on the CCR question, and she took it into account as well.

Another blog we saw was Clara's blog where she explained her video was going to be recorded over the weekend with her friend at the church, she plans to make a video about kidnapping and how her friend would be tied to a chair and hurt. This idea seemed interesting to me, and I am curious how it's going to look in the end. We also spoke about the CCR and gave her some advice. 

I also shared my blog and talked about my hopes for the project and how I asked my friends to be my actors for the movie opener. I explained how I take inspiration from Italian mafia movies/shows where the people are part of a small gang and they have all committed crimes like robbery, murder, or laundering. I also explained how I'm going to integrate cutaways into my movie opener in showing what crimes the 2 other characters have done. I shared my CCR idea and it will be a podcast where a host asks the main character question in which my normal self will be the host and my main character self will be the one answering the questions. This fills the role of good context and a creative CCR.
