Blog Post #4

This past weekend me and my group (Tomas, Rafa, and Jonathan)  have been texting back and forth trying to come up with a genre idea. We were at first going to do horror, but everyone keeps changing their minds. I believe horror is a hard genre to pull off since it actually has to be scary. And usually when high schoolers try to make horror films they kinda come off as funny which is not what we want. So in order to do horror we'd have to come up with a pretty solid idea. We also have been throwing other ideas out there but they're all pretty random and we still don't know what genre we want to do. I don't think our communication is at its best right now because everyone keeps answering late. Two of us wanted to get on a call just now to talk about what we're going to do for this project but the other two people in our group aren't answering so we are still left with no progress on what our genre is going to be and basically what our whole film opening is going to be about. Hopefully our communication gets better and we all agree on one story line. For now I'll just do some research myself and see what ideas I can come up with.

We were assigned to watch previous projects this past week and I think I learned a lot from it. It was really helpful seeing the film openings past students have made. Seeing their ideas helped me have a better understanding of what I should be working towards. It also made me realize that there are so many directions that we can go with this film opening and that we just have to be original and think outside the box. Also seeing how their blogs were set up and how organized they looked helped me know what I should be putting into my blog. I'm still getting familiar on how to use this site but hopefully I'll be able to organize my blog properly. We also went over a power point in class on how we can make our blogs better and how we should always be specific and talk about the making of the film opening in depth and I think that helped a lot.
