Seasonal Group Meeting

 

    The group meeting that I had with Mateo, Manu, Dani, and Mariano regarding the current status of each of our projects, being an exchange of ideas and opinions towards solving any present-day conflicts was very beneficial, as not only did I get good ideas to consider implementing (so did Sofia that we shared together from our individual groups), but it also gave me the chance to summarize where I am at with my project and reestablish my current goals, such as storyboarding and uploading social media. Although I completely forgot about this part of the midway check process, I think it served my group well, with notes on my peers and my own suggestions down below:

    

    In terms of my project, I introduced the conflict of trying to balance the dual narration of Sof and I as well as the being observers/narrators balance, as well as the conflict of the introduction/ how we are still trying to find secure options for that. A suggestion following that was what if we integrate ourselves into the hobby/activity that the local community does, that way we can indirectly by putting ourselves in the frame for narration and also just allowing the group to take over and interact with us/ give the audience as well as us a sense of who they are. 

    I introduced this idea to Sofia and we are considering it, reminding me of Ugly Delicious in the way Chang gets close to the guests on his show and also leads the narrative more implicitly/ with a balance, letting his guests make their impressions on the viewer through his dialogue with them. Some suggestions Sofia received from her group meeting (which you can hear more about here), were to ask similar interview questions to each interviewee to show how they differ, as well as to highlight how each ep. has a distinctive local group it is focused on, yet the entire docu-series is about overall connection and society as a whole. From this, I'm reminded to not lose sight of the overall purpose while making each episode a different feel complementary to the group being focused on. Overall, the group meeting allowed for different perspectives to give their insight and also was a nice way to catch up with friends on how they're evolving their projects.
