Plan for Today?

 Group Meeting

    

    Today during class today, we had our last group meetings of the school year, which was a little sad, but I was glad to speak to my peers about their projects and provide as much advice as possible. We went around the group and talked about our projects one by one. First went Bailey, who is doing the Music Promotion Project and then we jumped right into my project, and my group helped me so much.

Pacing:

    Due to the fact that we are supposed to stay under 5 minutes, but my film is around 7 minutes long and it was originally a 13-page script I feel that the pacing of the story was really fast and the story was being rushed. But after showing them the film they didn't really have issues with the pacing of the story expect for one part. 

    In the film, the part of the story where Julia and Bobby get to Julia's home and meet her father feels rushed. I asked around the group to discuss ideas of what I can do make things better. I asked my friend Luisa specifically since she has a lot of experience with making films and videos. She thinks that it was best to add music under the scene to build more of the suspense within the scene, so it doesn't feel rushed.  

Postcard

    During the meeting I also mentioned to my group that I was having issues with the final post card for the film. I explained to them that the reason why I had two options for the front was because Althea is such an important character in this film, so I wanted her to be highlighted. They also agreed but told me to move over the animations a little closer to the right and make the text bigger. For the back of the post card, they actually had a lot more suggestions. 

    The postcard on the left was the original postcard I was planning on using for my final project but after discussing it with them I made some changes because they had a good point that it felt really cluttered, and they think that maybe taking out the tittle since I already have it in the front would help. So, I played around with the back and showed them this version and got their opinions. They thought it was a lot better from the first one as it is better to read, and it also matches the colors of the front of the post card. 

Extra Updates!!

     I officially have rights to an Original Song!! By a real artist!!! Martin sent me this last night and I got so excited since he is super talented, and I am so happy to put him as part of this project. But stay tuned for more social media posts, and the final version of the film!!!
