Portfolio Project: Group Meeting

     During class I got to meet with a group in order to discuss my project and get ideas from outside perspectives. I found this to be very helpful in expanding some of my ideas and getting input from others who may have different ideas than what I have thought of thus far. Some of my biggest setbacks at the moment are coming up with the name for my project which I will need in order to continue my social media platform. I was able to get a few good ideas from the members of my group that I will be considering for the name of my documentary series. Another setback has been what I will be doing for b-roll which I was also able to get ideas for. 

    During the group meeting I was also very inspired by the projects of my fellow group members and how far they have come with their projects. I will be putting some of their suggestions for me into my project and continuing to think about my project title. My thought that I should be finalizing my questions and my voiceover script this week was reenforced which is primarily what I will focusing on this week in hopes of getting to be filming the interviews by next week. 

    During this meeting I was also able to discuss who I will be interviewing, and I am hoping to get two interviews that will be seen in my 5 minutes excerpt. One will be the main subject, my mom, and the other I am hoping to get one of my brothers to sit for a short interview discussing their perspective of my mom's experiences. However, I will have a relatively small window of time to interview the brother that I believe would provide the best answers as he lives in Orlando full time, but will be visiting this weekend. 

    I expressed that I will be conducting all indirect interviews, and with some input I decided that it may be cool if I am able to get the interviews from various perspectives and angles to make my documentary more visually appealing. All in all, I felt that this group meeting was very beneficial, and provided me with a lot of ideas for how to move forward with my project.
