Group Meeting #2 Review

Group Meeting #2

On Monday, my teacher divided our class again into groups. It had the same goals as the previous meeting but with the inclusion of details about the actual production and what their plans were for the CCR. I was originally placed with people I know like my partner Marat and Sebastien, (I didn't get the names of the rest) but was moved to another group as I was not supposed to be with my partner for this meeting. As a result I joined late and two members had already gone being Julia and Meliyah. The group went in the same order as listed below [(With the exception of Julia and Meliyah, who went before I was there)(They're placed at the bottom.]

Group Members and Production Feedback

Sebastien - Genre: Thriller 

I already knew about what his story was about as he explained it in the first meeting. He explained some of his struggles as one of the people that was supposed to work with canceled on him. Another struggle that they had was that they originally planned to film at Regional Park but due to it being completely filled out they changed locations to a church parking lot. I didn't get to hear all of the feedback as I was switched midway through.

 Julia - Genre: Drama/Suspense 

Julia's story is about a girl whose sister was murdered and she is seeking revenge against her sister's killer. There wasn't really any feedback as her outline appeared solid to myself and the rest.

Meliyah - Genre: Psychological Thriller/Drama/Suspense

Meliyah's story is about two sisters with one having passed away and it will be centered with the older sister reminiscing about the younger one that passed away. She also said that one of their scenes will be taking place at the beach. She didn't really have any issues and was instead really efficient as she was able to work with her partner to film correctly at the beach and not use a tripod to film.

Tarynn - Genre: Science Fiction

Tarynn's story is about a disease that wipes out most of humanity and shows the main character surviving alone and foraging for food. Her plot and plan was very good to the point of impressing everyone at the table. She did come across a problem as one of her main actors had to cancel on her and as a result had to change her initial plan of having two sisters be the main characters to just having one.

Caesar - Genre: Thriller

Caesar's story is about two people that are lying on their couch doing nothing but watching tv when suddenly an emergency alarm appears on their screen stating that something unknown has entered the area and to be cautious. His group has already figured out how they will accomplish everything as a result they don't have any notable issues yet.

Ella - Genre: Teenage Drama

Ella's story is about a teenage girl that is being neglected by her parents (Mom ignores her and Dad isn't home.) She is going to be portrayed as very clumsy as they attempt to celebrate her own lonely birthday party. She didn't really have any issues except for the fact that she is filming by herself and states that it is a lot harder than she thought.

Andres(Me) - I received a tip on how to fix the lighting for my film opening. I do not remember who exactly it was but someone showed me that there is a feature in the photos app where you can adjust the brightness for photos and videos which made my job ten times easier.

Emmanuel (Never got his blog link) - Genre: Coming of Age

Emmanuel's story is about a rebellious kid that was rejected by his parents and is sneaking out the house to meet up with some "fake friends" who are trying to convince him to do some bad things (Drugs, tobacco, etc.) He has his entire outline practically done and all that's left for him is to get the correct casting and create the required stunts for the opening. 

Summary

Overall, there wasn't a lot of tips that were given to each but a lot of positive feedback was given instead. Everyone here has properly planned out their opening even if they haven't started filming it yet. I firmly believe that everyone in this group did a great job and will be getting a good score for this project.
