Hello! To help develop and elaborate ideas, my class had group meetings with different people so that they could listen to other's planning and let them know if they like it and how to improve it or what they should change.
Today my group was made up of my 4 classmates: Addison, Gaby, Renn, and Vicky. I will discuss their ideas and things I found interesting.
Addison was thinking about developing a film opening under the genre of psychological thriller. She wants to make her film fast paced and make it about a woman who murders her husband. She talked about her idea to make a fake body to really catch the viewers attention while watching this opening, and she even spoke about how she dedicated an entire post to the making of this "corpse." I like her approach to begin the opening by digging a hole in the ground, even though it might be a bit tricky, since there aren't any public places where a person could dig a hole in the ground. Besides this small setback, I think the overall idea will be really interesting to see being done in the end.
Gaby is making her film opening a coming of age movie about a girl that lost her brother. Her character will struggle with drug abuse and having a bad relationship with her parents. The mise-en-scene for her opening will be very important since she wants to reflect her character's state of mind by showing how messy her room is. The whole group really helped out with opening's flow by suggesting small things she can do to better develop the plot for her film.
Renn was thinking of making a western film opening about a cowgirl who was out for bounty in a society where it was not seen acceptable to be a female in the position of a cowboy. Renn hopes to make the film eye-opening and reflect the battle of defeating gender-specific stereotypes and ideas with this opening. I really look forward to seeing how this opening will look like in the end, since the western aesthetic for landscape might be a bit hard to find in our area.
Lastly, Vicky spoke about her idea to make a dystopian film opening about two friends who are presented with the chance of getting superpowers. Since this was the last member to speak, and class was ending, I didn't get the chance to get many notes on her opening's idea. However, I do know that she wants to make one of her characters be excited for this chance to gain superpowers while the other is still unsure. In the end, these superpowers would have to be used for fighting against crime.
In the end, I was very pleased with this group meeting. Although it started off a bit slow, I believe that we got the hang of how to present our ideas and give suggestions to each other. I also liked that everyone in the group had a different genre, as we can see how it affects the overall theme of the film and the type of scenery needed as well as type of character personality.
I'm really looking forward to having similar meetings in the near future!
