Group Meeting #2

 Today we had a group meeting just like the last one. But this time we saw a little bit of each others footage and the discussed our CCR ideas. We fist started off by sharing our film opening ideas so that we could understand better. 

Cristian

In Cristian's film's opening, a teenage girl experiences nostalgia as she graduates from high school. Her friends then advise her to celebrate by throwing a large party and to make the most of it. The character needed to have her phone in the bathroom so that her friend could call her, but the dress she was wearing had no pockets, so that presented a minor challenge throughout the filming process. The group had to put it inside her dress in order to get it to work.

Alejandro

Alejandro's film opening is about a guy who is trying to quit drugs. He said his movie has a lot of action involved and that they put a lot of effort into the set of the opening. They filmed at an empty house one of his group member has because they are going to sell it. However, they had very limited time to film and the shots had to be perfect because the house was sold and they couldn't go back to it. 

Veronica 

Veronica shared her idea and it was about how a Venezuelan girl struggled to fit in to the new country she moved. She said that she was going to show her culture by making her eat Venezuelan food like " arepas or tequenos" and showing famous Venezuelan monuments in the background . One of her biggest challenge was filming quickly so that the sun didn't change position and affect her lighting in the shots. She then shared that one of her CCR ideas was to recreate something like " Hot Ones" but then our teacher shared that we should not be recreating things and that we should come up with it ourselves so she had to rethink her whole idea for the CCR. 

Mine

After I shared my idea for the film opening, I said that my biggest struggle was not appearing in the mirror when I was filming. Also we all agreed on how time management was our biggest challenge through out this whole project. I then shared my CCR ideas of the teacher and student approach and the phone call with friend and that concluded our meeting.
