Group Meeting #1

Group Meeting #1

     Hello blog, we had our first group meeting, and in this meeting we got together with our peers, and with people who aren't in our groups, and we talked about our ideas and what our movie was going to be about, as well as sharing our blogs. We helped each come up with ideas and we also gave each other tips on how to make our blogs better. This meeting was incredibly helpful for me, especially for my blog, they helped me make it look a lot better than it did before and they showed me some settings that I didn't know it had. 

     Julian

   Julian is working alone. The genre for his portfolio project is going to be action/comedy. He didn't really have a plot before but we helped him come up with one. He will do his project on a guy robbing a bank and getting caught, and there will be the bank bell noises to represent the robbery, he then gets chased by the cops around the city, and there will be three main characters, and he doesn't know what the title should be yet. He plans to film it in his house and get help from his friends to be the characters or to help him record. 

   I think Julian should watch "Baby Driver", I think it could help him come up with more ideas. 

   Julian's blog good, I think he missed a couple blog posts and I also think he could add a backgrounds which I think would make it look better and more full. 

     Elisa 

   Elisa is working in a group. Her and her group plan to create a horror/thriller opening scene, with a supernatural creature/monster. It's going to be about a girl who goes missing, there will be posters for her around the city, and a search party will happen to help look for her. The search party will be in the woods, or just anywhere outside, and they plan to record it at a park, during the search party a guy goes a different direction, and suddenly gets dragged down by the creature, resulting in him going missing as well. For a title they thought of "Amber Alert" but it is not set yet.

   I think Elisa could watch "Stranger Things", it could give her some ideas of how to represent the people missing and the search parties.

   Elisa's blog is really good. I like the way its set up, I think it looks really good and it's very appealing. 

     Robbie

   Robbie is working alone. He is doing a teen comedy, set in the early 2000s, and there will be 2000s music throughout out the movie. It's about a guy who isn't popular, and he decides to throw a party while his parents aren't home, which causes him to become super popular. The film will show the guy trying to handle popularity as well as keeping the party a secret from his parents. His film is inspired on Rodrick Heffley from Diary of a Wimpy kid. He will probably to it at a friends house. The title is going to be "After Party." 

   Robbie should watch "Project X", it shows a teenage boy who threw a party and it was a very good party. He could get some ideas of how to prepare the setting.

   Robbie's blog is good, I like the background and how everything is set up but I feel like the background takes the attention away from the actual post. 

     Sophia

   Sophia is working alone. She is doing a horror/thriller film, inspired by the movie "Tag," and the opening will be kind of like "Dexter" only showing the persons hands. Her movie will be about a group of teenage girls playing April fools prank on each other, they have a tradition that they play April fools prank on each other during the first week of April, and they have a contract on the rules of the game. One of the pranks will end up badly, with blood and someone dying. The opening will show the group of girls hanging out and the it slowly zooms out to show them standing in front of a bathroom door with blood coming out of it. She will film it at her house and the title is going to be "April Fools." 

   Sophia's film is already inspired on the movie "Tag" and that is what I would recommend for her to watch to get some ideas on how to convey her idea. 

   Sophia's blog is good, and her posts are good as well. I just think she should also put a background to make it look more appealing. 

     My own

   For my film opening, I'm working in a group. The group meeting that we had did not include people who are doing the project with me in my discussion group, so I presented our idea and my blog to them. They said they liked our idea and that it was interesting. About my blog, they said it was good, but the set up was different, so they helped me change it and make it look better and easier to find where everything was.
