Group Meeting #2

Knowing that I was going to have another group meeting this week was really exciting. Having not filmed yet, I've felt like my progress on the opening has been a little slow. So getting updates from other people and their progress has made me feel a lot better. I've actually realized I am going at a pretty good pace considering all the things I have had to worry about this month (finishing the quarter with decent grades, improving on SAT, and training for a Spartan Race). Yep, you heard that right, I signed up for a Spartan Race at the end of April and I couldn't be more excited. But to get to the important stuff, here are some of things I took away from the group meeting:

Sophie

I was really impressed with how much she has done so far! She is doing a magazine and already has a good layout for her cover and table of contents. She is doing a beauty magazine and is demonstrating a green theme for a march edition. For her story, she mentioned how she wanted to show pictures of beauty products and their descriptions. However, she was having issues formatting her masthead and front cover image. 

Justin 

I am extremely excited to see his finished product. His plot is extremely creative and he is going to film at a skate park in Miami. However, he seemed to be a little behind on the blog. I encouraged him to post more and perhaps have longer and more in depth posts.

Ashley

Ashley was the second person in my group meeting is doing a magazine. She plans on doing a food magazine and I am both excited and nervous to see how it comes out. Food magazines definitely seem a lot easier than they are to make. She is still developing color schemes and is in the process of planning her cover and table of contents. With trouble finding the best software to edit, Sophie and her had a great conversation about the program, Canva.

Valeria 

Valeria has an interesting yet difficult plot for her opening. She plans to illustrate a family moving to Miami and mentioned how she wanted the opening to have more a montage feel. With plans to use a drone, she was a little worrisome about her lack of experience. She mentioned her struggles achieving permission for a song (Which I spoke more about in this post.) Also, I love her blog!
