So today in class my peers and I assembled into groups to discuss the progress we've made throughout the past few weeks. My group had an especially diverse collection of filmmakers ranging from Alexa (a CBTV girl) to Juan Garrido, the man with the golden voice. We started off by having a brief discussion of where we stood in terms of progress and most people had a general idea of what their story was or had a storyboard already created.
Eventually, we got around to the presentations. We all had a personal laptop provided as a courtesy of the school and we pulled up Mrs. Stoklosa's website to access our blogs. We went around to discuss each of our individual sites and gave constructive feedback on how our peers could improve. When it came to me I wasn't exempt from the feedback. The main issues with my blog was the stop motion idea and storyboard. They did a really good job of roasting me for thinking about stop motion. Even my teacher advised me on how stop motion filming requires extensive planning which I should've began first semester. The other issue that they brought was the profound amount of frames required to produce a quality film opening production. The other point of concern was the story board. Many of my friends felt that my story had many issues or would produce trouble for viewers to understand the plot. So we discussed possible solution to resolve the conflicts presented within my story board.
Music was another topic which received a great deal attension amongst our group. Prior to the group discussion, I was honestly planning for obtaining free music rather than obtaining music rights. To me it felt almost impossible to obtain music rights. For example a producing giant like Universal Studio.
I feel that this experience allowed to widened my perspective on this film opening project and has allowed me to prevent common mistakes through the advice of peers.
