Group discussion

Hi guys this project just keeps on progressing not going to lie gets more difficult every time I think about it but that is not the point today, we got started in class by watching a ted talk from one of the co-founders of Pixar it was about how to story tell properly. The ted talk was extremely interesting and gave me some more understanding as to how make my story better. One key element he stated was that if I can create curiosity or wonder in the viewer, my story will be successful. There are many ways in which this can be achievable, but I think I have developed an overall idea.


While talking with the people in my group I realized it was a better idea to either minimize the amount of people in the film opening since it might be difficult to have many people be available or if anything I will only use the main characters as actual actors and try to find a group of people to assist me.


Another thing that the group helped me realize was that I had to figure out more techniques that would show my main character's loneliness since well I only have one element right now which would be to fade noise away to show him becoming distant. I researched ways that I could send my intended message and through the research I found out ways to show the character “separated” is through dialogue and physical aspects one of these aspects will be the dark clothing I have mentioned before I also want to add some sort of fidgeting to show he is stressed and last but not least make him talk to himself. The way I want to do this is by adding to the script for the film an opening and voice over which would show the character's thoughts instead of him talking alone, showing him overthinking and overall being anxious.


Here is the article I used: https://www.novlr.org/writing-tips/how-to-write-characters-with-a-sense-of-detachment


Overall, this group activity helped me finalize how I'm going to really reach my audience and make my intended film opening come to life. Although I have a lot more work to do, I am on the right track to see you guys' next blog!
