Portfolio Project: Group Meeting

    During our final group meeting of this project, I mostly wanted some advance on how to go about producing my magazine article as I was stuck as to what I needed to get done. I asked my fellow group members who are also doing a documentary as many had either already completed it or were in the process about where I was. Being in a group with other documentary makers was very beneficial as I had previously not had access to group members that were working on what I was. I believe that this group meeting really helped me, and sparked ideas of how I will be producing my magazine article. 

    I have decided that I will be doing a topic focused magazine article, because I believe that this will be easiest for me and it will compliment my documentary the best. The focus of my documentary is loss and recovery which I hope to explain further in depth through my magazine article in order to expand on what I will be sharing within my documentary. I intend to advertise this article on my Instagram page as being related to the documentary, and hope to write as a sort of interview with the director in order to link the two products better. I think that this will allow my project elements to be more cohesive in nature which is what I am hoping to go for. 

    I am continuing in my editing process and then I will also begin promoting my episodes on my Instagram as well. I will try to not only reference the episode that I will be producing in my magazine article, but also reference the episodes that I will not be producing, but are apart of my episodic documentary. I believe that this will also improve the cohesiveness of my documentary series as represented through both the Instagram and the magazine article. All in all, I found this meeting to be very helpful, and I believe that this is what I needed to feel confident in the remaining work that is needed to be done on my project.
