Group Meeting Reflection #1

 Hey guys! Today marks week 3 of working on our portfolio projects. Today in class our teacher for Media Studies put as into groups and made us discuss elements of our portfolio projects with random classmates.

Out of all the ideas for portfolio projects that were stated there was one that I liked a lot. One of the girls in my group wanted to dedicate their film opening to a very personal cause. She wanted to make a film in which the story of her life is portrayed through an abundance of characters in almost an autobiographical way. Her story is one in which she moved here to the U.S from Colombia and felt as if she lost everything she knew. However, with time she adjusted to her new life and found happiness where she was once more. I liked how personal it seemed to her and I could tell that she was going to put lost of work into it.

All the rest of the ideas that were heard we all pretty decent just not as fully developed. When talking about my own film "Unplugged" everyone seemed to understand it clearly and like my ideas for the development of it.                                                                                                                                          Anyways, that's about it for today. More updates coming soon!!

Group meeting #2 REFLECTION ON THE FILM

 Hey everyone, today in class our teacher put us into groups again for the first time in a while since the first group meeting. Incase you don't recall, at the time of the first group meeting everyone in my group including me shared the ideas we had for out film openings. However, this time we got to work in groups in order to discuss the process that we had done up to date. 

Although we were put into different groups as the first time it was very easy for me to explain my film since me and my partner Joseph have been working on it quite a bit recently. As for everyone else, there were some people in my group who had either already finished their raw footage, started it, or had the film done overall.

 The three other people in my group (Sofi, Renn and Roman) all had pretty good descriptions of their separate films. Roman had a film where a drug deal goes south resulting in the brutal arrest and integration of the person receiving the drugs. Sofi had a film in which a group of girls does and April fools gig that ends up with one of them dying to one of the pranks. And as my personal favorite, Renn was working on a western style film in which a pacifist accidently ends up killing someone and searches for one of the victims family members to request a death wish as punishment for what she did. In our group discussion we all shared different factors of our films like raw footage, editing, fonts for subtitles, shot usage, etc. 

After talking about the films we squeezed in the time to discuss what plans we had for our CCR's that were explained to us just recently. Sofi had a cook'n talk kind of style for her idea and Renn decided to do something in which they ride a bike and comment on their film. Me and Roman didn't really have a set idea on what to do so we both took this time to start to consider (updates on it will come soon).
