Cambridge Portfolio Project - Group meet 1 reflection

 Today in class since its the third week we had to have meetings with random people from other groups for feedback, suggestions and more.

Since my idea wasn't fully created, I couldn't fully articulate it, as a result, there was little to no feedback on it. One of the students here did tell me about a book with a similar idea (The Giver, Lois Lowry), and suggested I read it to

1. not copy its plot accidentally (for the most part) 

2. get certain ideas from the novel.

One student suggested to all of us we use an audio motif.

One of the students in the meeting shared a lot of great sources to use:
SimplyScripts (Scripts of many many movies.)
Pixabay (sounds for download)
Adobe Fonts (self explanatory)
Bensounds (worse audios and sounds but can be more specific)
Splitter AI (I dont like AI that much but this can *allegedly* edit out certain aspects of videos or images that would be non editable to the average person [like voice in a video])
YoutubeToMP4 (mostly self explanatory)

This meeting was pretty fine, but the only real benefits might've been the provided sources as most of us were pretty well established (besides me mostly).

anyways, about the groups and stuff, check out their blogs, I will also tell yall about their ideas.

Sorry if these descriptions aren't too accurate, I'm not going to lie, I couldn't hear everything since the whole class was talking.

Aicemediawithlucia: Lucia's Idea was unique, it was a horror film relating to amber alerts where amber alerts would make people disappear (I'm pretty sure), Lucia had the clever idea to name her protagonist Amber, and had a few ideas on building suspense for the film, she also said she was planning to film some of the opening (or most) on a golf course.

Elksnotes3172: Her idea was a coming of age film, she said that she was inspired by the film "Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer". She also stated that she wanted to film in the school hallways, but was worried that the setting might create problems.

Saraheevdawg: This idea was a zombie apocalypse, the sequence was meant to be: Learning about the zombies, running away from zombies, and then cut to location change future. This was confusing and it was stated by multiple of us, so we told Sarah to not do the location change and instead focus more on the part where the protagonist learns of the zombies, that way the whole intro feels unresolved as it should.

gigixcurr: Probably my favorite idea right here, gigi decided on a mystery dedicated to an insane doctor who would keep his patients sick for money, on top of that, she decided to have a jar of marbles represent the patients well being, its a really cool idea.

Londonlaysitout: His idea was the most completed out of all of us, he was creating a western and had the majority of his audio ready, most of his story done, and was already filming. The idea was a standard western following the protagonist (which i cant really remember) and a standard antagonist. He planned on recording very scenic shots lined up well with rule of thirds stuff, it was really cool.


All these ideas were really cool, and I hope to be able to see some of them in the future, as for my idea... 

I will be explaining my idea (fully thought up) next time !
