Sebastian was the first person in the group to share. His film opening is a Thriller about a group of boys who find a mysterious glowing bag. His group used our recommendation from last time about adding a flashlight in the bag to create the glowing effect. His only issue was that he has 100 clips that he needs to cut down into 2 minutes. So, we recommended that he edit it all together first and then shorten or cut out the unneeded clips. This way he can make sure the character and story is portrayed properly.

Next, Murat talked about his story. His Mystery opening is about a pair of detectives who are chasing after thief who leaves calling cards. So, the film is called "Calling Card" with a lot of inspiration taken from Sherlock Holmes. His obstacles are that they don't have enough props to use and it was difficult to film in their setting of a narrow hallway. The props portion he has to figure out on his own but for the filming part we recommended using a selfie stick to film.

Then, Katerina shared her film opening. She's doing a Drama about a girl named Caitlyn who has parents with addictions. Her only obstacle was that her two actors (her parents) were in Europe for 3 weeks and she has a lot of extracurricular activities, so she didn't know when to film. We told her how urgent it is to get her filming completed sometime this week.
After that, Sofia went. She's making a Sports Drama about a guy and the mental and physical struggles of running. She's halfway done with filming. The only part left for her to film is her garage scene where he starts smashing things. She was having trouble coming up with things to smash though so we recommended using empty cans or buying some cheap plates.

Afterwards, Sonaksi shared her Coming-of-Age film about procrastination. I really liked this idea/story! She said she took a lot of the inspiration from her own life. Her biggest issue was that one of her actor's family members died so she had to change her entire story.
Lastly, Nicole shared that she's creating a Coming-of-Age film on teenagers who are sneaking out and are very stressed, so they turn to drugs for help. Her only problem was that she forgot the sounds had to be copyright free and didn't know where to find any good ones. So, I recommended she use Pixabay, which I used for my sounds.
Finally, I shared my teen pregnancy and running away plot and everyone was kind of taken aback/shocked. The girls in my group really loved the idea and found it interesting. I didn't really have any obstacles other than not having a bike. But one of the constructive critisms I got was that it sounded short. So, taking that into account, I'm going to finish off the car scenes and see how much I make it to. If it's less than two minutes, I'll make a scene of her entering CVS.

All in all, this was a very helpful and successful group meeting for all of us!
