1st Group meeting reflection

 Group Meeting 1

    We are finally at week three of our film opening project and all our ideas are finally being finalized and with the help of this meeting, edited. When we got to class, we quickly got situated with our groups. Within my group I had only ever spoken to one other person before and it was always brief, so I was really excited to hear their input on my ideas. I also really liked that only one other person was doing the horror/thriller genre because that meant I got a chance to hear different perspectives and outlooks to the same task.

    I really liked that all group members shared their URLs with each other because first we got to know a little more about what each person was thinking. Specifically, I was asked some questions about what "horror" movie basic characteristics I would be included and was offered some feedback on how to incorporate these elements. My group's idea is to create a horror/thriller movie based on amber alert, specifically the disappearances not the kidnapping. I was sharing with the group how we want to have a supernatural force that is behind all of the missing people, but we weren't sure how to achieve that. Some people though, cleverly, suggested that I, rather than show this supernatural force, just make it be heard.

    I fell in love with this idea and the second the meeting ended I ran to discuss with my partner exactly what I had in mind. We completely agreed that that was perfect for the ominous character we are trying to make of this "monster".

    Overall, everyone really liked my idea and they thought we had come up with a pretty original concept so I didn't really receive any critique but I did however gain ample resources thanks to my group. Everyone had used one or two of these sites and it was really helpful to know that if I needed anything related to their uses I would be okay.

    I'm most glad that I finally decided on a font for my credit sequence. I was really struggling with that and I shared my concern with the group members and one of them had a really cool app where you could type out styles and it suggests font types so that's how I landed on "Felt Tip". The app is called Adobefonts and if you have access to Adobe, I highly suggest getting it because it was super helpful and made my vision a reality.
