Group Meeting

What's up blog. So we had another peer review/group meeting session and it was nice discussing with others with the progress on their different projects. The main advice I got was from Dani after she read our script, was that she felt the resolution wasn't strong enough, that it ends anticlimactic if our protagonists never meet. I completely agree and after class I brought this up to M and J and we agreed we would go back and rework the script. Here's what my other classmates were up to:

Duda
- Working on her documentary
- Improving upon her football team documentary 
- Filmed her interviews already

Dani
- Short film is sci-fi and follows an AI bot over 60 days
- Message wants to send is appreciate your humanity
- Needed help/critiques on the middle of the script and if the story made sense
- Working on props
- Filming over spring break

Sammy
- Working on documentary - theme overcoming insecurities - wants to create the last 5 minutes of the first episode
- Wanted advice for b roll shots: suggested using b roll where the interviewee speaks as well (interview shot wouldn't get repetitive)
- Also filming over spring break

Zain
- Working on a short film with Martina, behind schedule because writer has been travelling
- Script has been written but it's not the intended comedic vision so it needs to be rewritten
- Ideally want to use actual adult actors since it takes place in an office

Thank you Zain.

Getting to discuss was helpful, but also got my group worrying as we know I'm going to be out of the country over spring break and will likely have to film the majority of our project upon return. I suggested to M and J they could location scout while gone or try to film some promotional clips for social media so hopefully we don't fall too behind.
