 Group Meeting Number 2!!

On the Monday of this week, the 10th of March, 2025, our teacher had split the class into groups, separating us with our project groups in order to communicate with our the classmates.

Class Group Members: 

• Kailen
• Gaby
• Anabella
• Aneesh
• Adil

Help:

    While talking about our projects, I was able to get critics on my project, understanding the quality of my shots and my project so far. I was able to hear good comments on the quality of the fake blood me and my project group had made, as well as getting the confirmation to that other eyes, the blog was actually viewable, and comprehendible that the action is occurring. This made me happy now knowing that the shots I made with the intention of highlighting the darker atmospheres mixed in with the low-key lighting were actually visible. I reexplained my entire opening, story, and idea behind the movie. One of my prouder moments was showing my storyboard, helping them understand more the context of the story, as well as getting feedbacked. I was specifically able to ask questions about their editing software, getting responses like Imovie, Capcut, and also the same one I'm using, Adobe Premiere Pro. We were able to address issues within our projects in which we all faced and were either able to get past or are still struggling.

Issues

Gaby: One of her actors had flaked on her and didn't appear for her filming last second, she had to rewrite her script.

• She told us that this greatly set her back, struggling and needing to fill that hole, then resulting on needing to cut back an entire character

Anabella: She had to borrow an entire dog for her project. The dog wouldn't cooperate that well for her project so she still need to spend hours trying to keep he dog controlled and kept. 

• This causes problems since the dog isn't always listening, it causes their shots to constantly fail, needing them to spend longer on taking the shots, even leading to them 

Kailen: When she first started acting she only had one available actor, making it harder for her to film this projects and had accidentally not filmed it correctly, needing to refilm the project entirely.

Aneesh- He's already filmed but is struggling to correctly convey his story the way he wants, we were able to give him some tips during our meetings in order to let him know what times were best for filming the type of atmospheres he wants.  

• The bad thing is, after we helped him, he'd explained to us his story about a stalker based off a video game, but since one of the rules is we can't do stalker-related prompts, he has to try and change his plot WITH only 2 weeks remaining in the class.

Adil- It's been hard for him and his partner to find available times in order to continue filming their project, making it kind of hard to film on specific days.
