OUR FIRST GROUP MEETING!

         Earlier this week, we had our first group meeting for this project! I heard so many different ideas and I'm really excited to how all of them come out! 

    Here's a little breakdown of what everyone is doing. 

    Renn: coming of age short film that highlights friendship and growth by using a plant growing and changing as a metaphor. I found this story really cute and I'm excited to see it

    Joaquin: dark comedy short film (Satanist Crusade) about a girl who's tired of the world and joins a cult to spread satanism and is aided my a mysterious character. This story really confused me but apparently it is much simpler than it seems!

    Robbie: short film in which a guy with a dad as a famous tennis player tries to be as good, but he fails and becomes homeless in a park, when he hears that there is someone impersonating him trying to make money from tennis. The ending is still not decided but we gave him ideas of possible ways to turn it into a comedy

    Zach: meta dark comedy/ rom com short film about a love angle between a camera and two subjects. This one is specifically tricky because it would be hard to make it obvious that the camera is a camera rather than a POV

    Samara: documentary about hispanic culture and how it brings everyone together. The episode she would actually develop would be focusing on music and dance as that is the most contacts that she could have for it. We gave her a suggestion of making each episode be specific to one or two countries so that it wouldn't feel like it was just listing things

    Ryan: thriller/comedy short film about a custodian late at night in a school who finds a body that died due to him forgetting to add a "Caution Wet" sign, so he tries to hide the body because he has a daughter to take care of. we told him that his film needed a little bit more because it could get boring if half of it is just him dragging the body away

    When it was my turn, I told them my idea and the problems I'm having and they really helped me! They reminded me to overshoot by a lotttt so I would have a lot to work with and they gave me ideas of what I could do for the social media page. They also told me that I could add lyrics into the video at parts, so I'll have to consider that to see if it's something I would want to incorporate!
