Welcome back to my blog! In this blog I will give a reflection on how my group meeting went. We were all split up into groups each from different teams. Here is a picture of my amazing group!
I took some small notes of each of my group members projects and helped them develop their ideas further. It was great to hear and see the work others have been putting in their pieces.
Dani- https://danimediablog14.blogspot.com/ - Her genre was horror and featured a female serial killer who kills her boyfriends. She explained she had to change the ending to make it more open ended. I really liked this idea and thought it was very intriguing. I agreed she needed to establish her storyline early but still leave the viewers wanting more.
Ayden- https://justayden111.blogspot.com/ - Her genre was coming of age with fantasy elements. Her idea was inspired by hades town as she is currently working in a production of that show. The movie would follow the fates as they turn into teenagers and are put in high school to get more in touch with current day. I was shocked by her sheer creativity and thought it was awesome. She is aiming high for this project, and I love it. The only thing I was concerned about was the magical elements and how they were being shown. She is utilizing special effects and had a set plan.
Charlee-https://blogbycharlee.blogspot.com/ - Her genre was mystery/crime. The main character is serial killer. Her idea wasn't fully developed so I gave some tips on how to make the story come to life and feel more realistic to the viewer. A big thing is having actors who can truly embody an evil character. I hope she used this tip well and it helps her develop her opening.
Milver- no blog link provided - His genre was suspense/horror. The plot revolved around a stalker with connection board like cops. This was the main plot point of his opening. I suggested the use of close ups and dark lighting to help develop the horror tone. For him to be successful he needs to plan a lot more and know what shots he wants of the board. The planning of what is on the board will be crucial to the piece.
Overall, I really liked seeing their pieces and getting feedback on mine. They advised me to add more content to my opening and asked about the clothing of the characters. I told them I was going for a sort of edgy grunge vibe. I used this information in my next meeting with my own team. We developed and slightly changed our opening. In my next blog post I'll go deeper on the dynamics of the characters and the media theory we are integrating in our project. I'll meet you in the future!
