Today in class, we conducted our second group meeting. The purpose of the group meetings is to share ideas and develop them through advice and constructive criticism. My group consisted of 6 of my amazing classmates, and through the duration of our meeting, I learned so much.
I was the first person to present to the group, and I showed them my line edit and some of my color grading and discussed possible CCR ideas. Everyone seemed to like my line edit and how I color graded it. When discussing CCR, I asked for help from the group since I missed the CCR lesson and had no standout ideas. My group members took turns telling me their ideas. One member, Max, had a whole short film planned, which seemed cool but tedious. Another idea I liked was doing a baking tutorial while answering the CCR questions. Hearing the creative approaches everyone was taking really opened my eyes to the boundless possibilities I could pursue for my CCR.
Back to film openings! My group members all seemed to be on the right track to great film openings. After watching everyone's line edit, I have to say my favorites were Nikita's and Dylan's. Nikita had a hilarious and incredibly creative idea for doing a film about Henry Flagler, an important figure in Floridian history. His line edit looked very good and he even added cool editing techniques like a match cut. When watching Dylan's film opening, it was clear to me how much time and effort he put into it; he organized an entire staged car meet for a few shots and even hired a police officer to act in his film.
I love group meetings because I always come out of them inspired and motivated! That's all for this blog, see you next time :)
