Group Meeting P2

 Heyyy, sooo earlier this week we had our second group meeting in class!! Honestly, it was really nice to hear how far people have come with their projects and to hear other peoples ideas. As well as getting those recommendations on how I can further improve my project. Hearing from our instructor is good, but there is only so much she can do. So being able to get feedback from my peers allows for a different set of eyes and ideas. Anywayyyyy on to the group meeting reflection!

Lucia: Her film is about amber alerts, which I think is super cool. So lucia showed us her editing, which she is very proud of. She showed us multiple clips of her project, and asked on our opinions. On one of the main climax scenes, we mentioned how it was a little too dark, and it was hard to make out the charactes facial expressions. I recommended considering re-shooting, just so she can add some more lighting to it.

Me: I shared to my group how our editing is going and showed them my opening title. They mentioned how my title slide was a built difficult to read and I should tweak it a bit. The recs I got was to consider choosing a different font for the title or making it more bold so it's easier to read.

Sara: Her film is about how a girl comes to the states and has all these good memories and has accomplished a lot, but her life wasn't always like that. Her film is primarily in Spanish, we told her that it was a great idea, but to add English subtitles at the bottom so a wide variety of people could understand. She also shared to us the editing platform she is using, it is called Davinci Resolve. I personally found this helpful since I don't like editing, and she said it was quite simple to figure it out.

Isabella: Her film is about two bestfriends trying to complete a school bucket list. She was showing us her footage and she actually noticed that she wasn't going to have enough footage to reach the time limit, which is obviously an issue. We told her that she would have to add more scenes to her film, and we recommened developing the story more.

Elias: His film is about a 16 year old who falls into trouble. He showed us his editing and mentioned he had an idea but wasn't sure what he was going to do. He wanted to use one song on one scene, and then cut to another scene with a different song. However, the songs had a different tempo and we said it might look off, so we recommended to just choose one song. But if he really wanted to do two, he had to pick two songs with very similar tempos.
