Group Meeting #2 Reflection

    In this post, I will be discussing exactly how my second group meeting went and what my group member had to say about their projects. They all had pretty good ideas but everyone with the exception of me at the time of the meeting didn’t record yet so I only was able to see their ideas and what they wanted to do. Let’s start with the first member: 

    First, Addison (same one from the first meeting who could not present due to time constraints) had an idea where her along with a boy were driving a car but then they get into an accident where the girl dies and the boy’s mental state becomes very poor as he tries to kill the person that was in the same crash as he was with the girl. She wanted to show his mental state by showing his room to be very disheveled and of a news report of the girl dying from the same accident as well. The mentally unstable boy is shown one year from the accident. This is an overall good idea, I feel like it is very well rounded and thought of, just it’s that a one year transition might feel a little long for a film opening but that’s all. 

    Gustavo and Bella actually had the same idea as Kiarmary from the first group meeting had: A James Bond style comedy where a girl meets up with another person where she is supposed to exchange a briefcase with this other person, but the girl ends up finessing the other person and ends up running off when the other person notices that there is nothing of value (not the items that they expected). This is turning out to be a good idea and I feel like I understand more of their idea now that they have advanced forward with that idea and now that its starting to take place.

    Ishan had an idea that was apparently inspired by the first movie of The Hangover series. His idea was to basically show someone getting out of work and then drive home but as the person gets home, there is someone else in the house that he does not know whatsoever. I feel like I didn't really understand this idea but having an opening like this does include a lot of potential to how the characters can be played out. Maybe it just was how I interpreted it but I didn't fully get some parts of the story. Some elaboration would for sure help in this case. 

    And finally, Isabella had an idea for a romance/crime opening where she would show two mafia families who are at a dinner table and they are discussing marriage between multiple people in the family but as time passes by, there is sudden violence between the two families over a dispute that is shown in the opening. But what really interested me was how much people were going to be in the film. I don't know exactly how many people will be in the film but I know for sure its going to be at least over five people which kind of impresses me as most of the projects that are being done have one to three people max. I personally like the idea itself but I am just very interested to how this plays out especially with a lot of people in this particular project. 

    Here is a photo of the notes I took during the meeting to help me understand the projects that everyone had: 

    That is all for the group meeting! Next post will be about CCR research for the first question. Until then, see you next time!
