Group Meeting
Throughout the school week, my AICE Media teacher put us into group to discuss our Cambridge Portfolio Projects. I was put into a group of five people and they each gave very helpful advice. Everyone had an opinion of their own and allowed me to see how my project could possibly be viewed from another person. In this blog posting, I will be discussing the advice that I received throughout my group meeting.
Costume Designs
In the group meeting, I was questioned of the significance of the mis-en-scene of my characters. I was questioned on why my main female character (Maria), only wore blouses and/or professional dresses. Additionally, I was questioned on why my other main character (John) only wore suits. I was given the advice that my characters should have a wider range of clothing for, the same kind of outfits wouldn't be repeated throughout the film.
Introduction to Film Opening
In the group meeting, many people loved my idea of having sunsets and flowers as essential parts of the setting. They agreed that it would help the movie have a romantic feel to it. Their only concern was how long I would be showing sunsets/flowers during the film opening. Their advice was to make it short and sweet, so I could have enough time to portray a bit of the actual film.
Title
As you know, the title of my film is Ever After. As I explained the title to my peers, there was a little confusion on why I chose that name for my film. However, when I explained that the title (Ever After) was inspired by the famous quote "Happily Ever After," and it portrays the forever love the two characters will experience in my film, my peers began to love it. As they understood its meaning, they could clearly see why my film would be named that. Overall, I am very thankful for the group meeting because it allowed me to take into consideration other people's opinion of my film. I also gained amazing advice from the group meeting!
