Hey there Cambridge!
In class today, our teacher put us into groups to have our second group discussion. This time, I worked with Selena, Santi, Camila, Isa, Andre, and Ethan. We went around and each shared our blog. We explained our plot and where we are at in production as well as ideas for our CCR. I took some notes on what we talked about, questions, and ideas shared:
Ethan's project was interesting. It is about going up to space and he is filming in stop motion! I liked looking at the pictures of his process in building the spaceship out of cardboard (on his blog). He also shared an interesting idea for the CCR, a sock puppet show. We all lit up at that idea as we all agree how creative that is.
Next, Selena talked lots about their main character and how they are slim and tall. She chose her brother for that roll, and we suggested to she do a low angle to make him seem taller. Although, I feel like 5'11 is already pretty tall. 😅
Santi's plot is about a famous doctor who releases a medicine and is announcing a negative to the medicine. Someone goes and tries to figure out what exactly is going on with that medicine. I enjoyed hearing his plot and looking at the creation of his medicine through images on his page. Our group loved to hear about his parents as actors in his film and loved how his studio turned out. I suggested using his CCR to continue his plot with his characters or interviewing his actors at the red carpet.
Moving forward, Camila spoke next. Andre suggested Camila uses wind chimes to represent calm in her film. Camila talked about use of lighting for differentiating between the present and the past (flashback). She shared clear ideas for her film opening and about her beach day filming.
Isa explained her characters and the change in tone from calm to chaos. One of the videos on her blog were not working, so I suggested why it may be (video too large, >100mb) and that she can try making it a link instead. She had a cool idea for her film opening where she will peel off stickers to reveal questions written on a board, similar to that one brand that has celebrities answer most asked questions.
At the end it became my turn to share. I described my film opening and they really liked my plot, so I decided to share how I created my own madlib to come up with the idea. I also shared that I too am not sure what I plan on doing for my CCR. My group members were interested in how I created my magazine, so I showed them images of my magazine (from my blog) and summarized my process for making it.
Later, we talked about sound and I recommended epidemicsound.com to find thriller and suspenseful sounds since I happened to be quite successful with that website when I went to search for my sounds.
At one point, we talked about opening credits. We are still not super sure how we will present the credits in our films, but Selena had a great idea for Andre to put the credits on the screens of the technology presented in her film opening.

Reflection:
This was a really productive group. We asked a lot of questions on audio, the set, how they will make it happen. Some of us haven't started filming yet, but plan to this week (like on Wednesday). We all seem to be on the same point with our CCR, where we do not have a for-sure idea yet.
Yours Truly,
Macie 💗
