Group meeting #2

Hey friends, welcome back!

Wednesday’s group meeting was super productive, and honestly, I think we all needed it. Sometimes, just talking things out helps so much, and that’s exactly what we did. First, Samira shared a big problem, one of her main characters canceled on her last minute! That’s a huge challenge, especially when filming is already planned. We all jumped in to help her figure out some solutions. She thought about recasting the role or maybe even changing the scene a little so it could work without that character. It was a stressful situation, but I think she lef the meeting feeling a little better about her options.

Then, my other teammates helped me with my CCR. They gave me some really good ideas on how to explain the choices we made in our film, especially about how we used certain editing techniques and why our story connects with teenagers. Their suggestions helped me see things in a different way, and I feel way more confident about my answers now!!! Of course, I also wanted to help, so I spent some time brainstorming ideas for their film openings. We talked about ways to make their stories more engaging and what small details could add more depth to their characters. It was cool seeing everyone bounce ideas off each other it really felt like a team effort. This meeting reminded me how important it is to have people who support and challenge you. We all helped each other solve problems and come up with stronger ideas. I left feeling way more motivated and ready to tackle the next part of the project!
