Group Meeting

So today we all gathered around and talked about what we are doing for our portfolio projects and everyone was able to give advice and throw in ideas. Luis and Jake are doing a short film based in a virtual reality. Some advice that was given to them was to not have so much dialogue between so many characters and to just `have dialogue between two people. Since you only have five minutes for the short film it was said that in their competition scene with the teens that they should just do the scene with one round instead of multiple rounds of them competing. The next person who talked about their project was Ana. She said that she basically had no idea what she wanted to do but everyone in class helped her out with an idea for her short film. Since Ana immigrated to the U.S everyone gave her the idea to do the short film on the process of her moving her. But instead of the film focusing on how she adjusted in her new school, it would be focused on the legal attributes that affected her through the immigration process. She was talking about this one scene where she wants her character to scream while she rides her bike, so it was suggested that she could use shots of wheels on other vehicles as symbolism. Mariana was the next person to speak about her project. Her idea for her short film was about a women who's husband dies and she sees a random man in a public place and he has all the qualities her husband had and basically seems like her husband except he's dead. We talked about how this story line can go in different ways such as the woman ends up being with the man who may have reincarnated through another person or maybe towards the end you see that she's just making up all this stuff about the man seeming like her husband to cope with her husband's death. It was now up to Mariana to how she was going to execute this idea. Jonathan is also doing a short film and he's choosing to do it on a gay love story. We suggested that instead of the characters actually speaking, there can be an internal dialogue that basically shows what they're thinking in their heads. It was also said that maybe there shouldn't be a 'happy' ending since in the real world, relationships aren't perfect. I was the last one to talk about my music video project and I asked for some advice for the marketing part of my project. It was suggested I could do a audio interview of my artist talking about what his song means and I was also given names of other artists to look at that have something similar to the rap genre I'm doing such as Amine and LSD.
