Group meetings!!

     This Tuesday, during our class time we met with people from other groups and expressed our ideas for our film openings. I thought this was extremely helpful. After pitching my groups idea, there were a lot of critiques towards my project that opened up my eyes a lot.

     Some of the feedback that I got from my peers was to make a part in the beginning more of like a day dream of myself performing on stage. This will help show how I am constantly thinking about my future of wanting to be a professional dancer. I liked this idea a lot, I feel that this would help the film opening have a clear understanding to develop the conflict of the film.

     Another idea that was recommended was to have shot of Mia's mom making her remove her rainbow pins on her shirt. Mia is apart of the LGBTQ community and and having this shot will help show that she is not accepted by her own parent.

    Other group members were saying how we might have too much going on. Since it is a film opening, we need to have just enough for it to leave viewers on a cliff hanger. With that being said, my group and I took what everybody said into perspective and made some changes to our outline. We decided that we are going to incorporate a big flash mob scene since it is a musical. We took the critiques into consideration and are going to have our film open up with the daydreaming scene.


    These group meetings helped a lot, after meeting with people my group and I came up with a concrete outline of our film. I cant wait to meet with groups again!
