Group Meeting #1

After several missed classes, I showed up to class after the second lockdown and began a group meeting. As stated before, this group meeting was productive, and shed light on many new perspectives on plot and themes in our video. Although my partner Zach was not there, now I feel as if I can imrpove the plot and suggest it to Zach next time I see him, as I had several valuable conversations that I feel could help me brainstorm ideas. 

My teacher, who had been conducting these group meetings for years, split us up into three groups of four so that we could all have some time to talk about our plot, listen to others' ideas and suggestions, then repeat the same process with every individual student in the group. Almost all students had a deeper idea or theme that they wanted to demonstrate. For example, Victoria wanted to show that queer relationships don't have to be portrayed in a homophobic light.

This is when I realized my plot so far is, undoubtedly, superficial, and a bigger theme is necessary to create a good plot. A higher purpose will, in most cases, greatly improve a film and attract a larger audience. In the future, I will use this learning experience to my advantage to improve my story.
