Group meeting #2

Helloo, today was our second group meeting and if i'm not wrong, the last one. It went pretty well, this time it was way different than last time since we all now have our ideas figured out and almost done. We were in groups of five and I was grouped with Lucia, Isabella, Addison and Elias. We started looking at everyone's Blog and talk about our plots and our progress. Everyone was working in a group, I was the only one there who is working alone. I talked about my plot and my progress, I am done editing I will just revise some things to make sure everything looks good.

I showed them all of my film, and they liked it. There was not much tips or recommendations since I feel pretty good about it. BUTTT something I really thank this group meeting was the fact that I realized the maximum time for the opening film. I do not really know why I thought the maximum time was three minutes, when it is actually 2:10. Lucia was talking about how she went over the time limit, and i asked her how long her project was and she said about 2:30, and I was like... WHAT? hhahahha. I went to ask Ms. Stoklosa about the time limit and she said that 2:10 min. I told her about my issue, and she said that if there is the possibility I could make it 2:20 minutes long, and of course that was what I was going to do. 

After this, I immediately started to see what I could trim out, and I realized that the garage scene was too longggg, about 30 seconds, which is too much. So I trimmed about 20 seconds and left it with 2:20 minutes, and it was a big relief.

While I was doing this, if I am being honest, zoned out and did not pay much attention to what my group was saying. It is not nice, but I was really worried about my project. After I was done fixing it up, I kept listening to my group.

The people in my group were in the stage of finishing editing. Some still have to record more things or re-do some scenes. For example Isabela, has not enough footage and does not reach the two minutes, so she needs to figure out a way of what footage to add. We were also advising Elias on the sound choices.

We were later talking about our ideas about the CCRs. Most of them were thinking to do one CCR talking to the camera and using visuals, as i do as well. I think is one of the best ways, even though is not creative, is very informative. Lucia and Isabella were talking about Podcasts and interviews. Isabella was indecisive to do a talking show or not, she wants to do something more creative. I am still indecisive of what i will do for my CCR 3 & 4, I do not know to do an interview or a Podcast. If i decide to do a podcast, I will be doing some research.

It was a good meeting, we all can't believe this journey is almost done. I am glad this happened and I got to know the time limit, I do not want to imagine what it would've been like if this didn't had happened.
