Group Meeting #1

Today marks the day of my first group meeting! When I walked into class today and was told I was not going to be sitting independently working on the blog all period I was a little disappointed. I thought to myself, "We just started the project, why would we need to talk about our ideas now, when we barely have any." Well, Mrs. Stoklosa wins again, the group meeting was a success. I learned a lot of new things and got a good idea of where I need to be with the project. It was interesting hearing from the perspectives of multiple people. So below, I will be mentioning the people I was privileged with working with and giving an overview of their progress and main details of their projects.

Juan
He was the only one in my group that wanted to do their opening based on the comedy genre. Although, he did not have much idea on what his plot is going to be, its understandable being only the beginning weeks of the project. His blog is well done but we encouraged him to incorporate more pictures.

Santi
Similarly to my genre, Santi chose teen drama. We agreed upon the idea of making sure that our filming plan is actually possible to achieve. One of his plot ideas includes documenting a family moving to South Florida. He plans to go to Miami to shoot the opening scene. With possible use of a drone, I'm excited to see where his production goes.

Onil
Onil definitely had some interesting ideas. Being another teen drama genre opening, her ideas were really well thought through. I enjoyed how she stressed the importance of having a god team member who works well with you. She spoke a lot during this meeting giving me plenty of ideas that I could work with such as contacting record labels soon to get approval for music.

Valentina
She was the only one in our meeting that is doing a magazine. Her chosen genre is beauty and fashion and she seemed to have a really solid ideas about her future plans. Being on the beginning weeks of the project, she is still thinking of layouts to use with her partners. I enjoyed her perspective being one of the few students in the class not doing a film opening.

Daniela
Daniela is doing a film opening, and she chose the drama genre. She has a creative plot idea involving a depressed teen and even plans to transform her living room into a doctor's office. I'm excited to see where that goes!
