Welcome back, everyone! Today was group meeting day in class and I'm going to share the experience with you all.
My groupmates had some great ideas. We set up our tables in a neat circular way so that we could all talk with each other. It felt like a mini Socratic seminar!
Group Mates
Brynn wants to make a romantic comedy. Her idea was great, and she already has a lot of stuff planned, such as setting, camera shots, and most of the story. She made a comment about how she will use music to affect her film opening, and I realized I should do the same. A good music choice will help set the mood for my film.
Next, Sofia pitched her ideas. She wants to do a mystery comedy. At first, I had a hard time imagining
what this would look like, but then she compared it to the movie "Knives Out", and I understood it better.
Sofia gave me a great tip: to use YouTube Audio Library for sounds. I will probably use this, as many sound effect websites were lacking the sounds I needed for my Sound project I did in December.
In continuation, David told us his ideas. He does not know exactly what he is doing yet, but it is most likely a noir black and white film opening. He made a very important point, which is that similar to sound, color also affects the mood. I will look into how I can use colors to affect my film opening.
Then, I pitched my idea to the group. They liked it and gave me some great ideas. Brynn gave me an idea of cutting to another character and also of showing security film footage of my character. Sofia gave me a good idea for the title. She said it should start with "Mission", then end with something interesting. I will probably implement these ideas to my project.
Lastly, Santiago went. His group is working on a thriller film. There was not a lot else discussed, other than that it might include shots of them running away from something.
The group meeting was fun and productive. I loved hearing my classmates' ideas and feedback. I will definitely keep those tips in mind!
These are the notes I took:
