Today was a very interesting day, in class we were separated into different groups with different people doing other projects. Our teacher gave us this opportunity so we could get some insight from others' points of view. This was very helpful and provided me and my partner with many ideas that we hadn't talked about.
The idea that my group gave me was the fact of recording them both getting ready for the football game where they are supposed to meet. Then proceed on playing a TV announcement in the back that announces the pandemic and ordering people to be careful about it. They said that my idea of crosscutting between both characters while they get ready was a good idea and that this would be good to show the audience that these are our two main characters and the love interests. They thought that this would also be a good way of showing the different lifestyles.
Another, idea that one of the students in the meeting suggested was showing a scene of Michaels's phone getting a lot of text messages asking if he was going to the football game. Then on the other hand show Daniela painting in her room and her mom coming in to force her to get ready to go to the football game. This is something that would help show their characteristics and introduce the fact that Daniela is very shy and doesn't know tat many people when on the other hand Micheal is very popular and know by everyone.
These ideas that were suggested were very helpful to me and my partner. Talking to other people and receiving their point of view on our story really helped us come up with what we wanted our film opening to be like. Deciding this is very hard but talking to other people helps us see that we are not alone and that there are also many other students struggling with coming up with many things just like we are. This helped us see realize that if we are ever stuck and don't know where we should take our film or how to interpret our idea we could talk to others and get their insight and perspective on what we are doing.
Coming to the conclusion of what our film opening is really hard since it is only two minutes we have to demonstrate something that helps the audience realize what our film is about and gather the basic information to be able to follow along with the movie. This is very complicated but I and my partner are really close to deciding what scene we want to develop to be our film opening.
