Hi Blogger! Today was super exciting since we had our first group meeting :) I was super excited to discuss my progress and to see how other people were doing as well. Most importantly though, I was really looking for advice on things that I could add/incorporate in order to improve my portfolio project.
While group members were discussing how there projects were coming along, I made sure to take notes that way I could get more information on what my peers have done, what exactly they're doing, how they're coming along, etc. Below, you will see some aspects that I noted about their upcoming projects.

By taking note of the characteristics of my group members progress, whether is was genre, social media, intentions, social media pages, what can be improved/changed, it helped me gain further insight into what I can maybe do within my own portfolio project. After discussing the highlights and drawbacks in my group members' endeavors, it put into perspective that you can always improve or change something within your project for the better.
As for my own project, my groups members had some constructive criticism in order to help me with the future in my portfolio project:
-Intense moments: Close ups
-Stick to a more colorful pallet due to target audience
-Accent lighting
-Consider what I want the shots to look like (realization)
After receiving these comments, I now have a better understanding that although my project is a solid idea with great potential, I need to start actually putting my ideas into action and realize how I want my episodic documentary to be constructed. Although I now know who I will be using as my subjects within the production itself as well as the social media page after the group meeting, I need to start making moves with these ideas that I have. Even though I was conflicted at first about the look of my episodic documentary, Zain gave me a great idea to use brighter colors since my target audience is young adults are the use of more captivating colors will provide further engagement for this age group.
I really enjoyed this group meeting and thought is was super useful for the future of my portfolio project. Not only did it help me better understand what I want to include within my project, it was a great wake up call that I need to be putting my plans into motion. Although I am still conflicted on how I exactly want an episode of my episodic documentary to look like, I am grateful that I now have a better idea of what are my next steps and how I should go about them. However, I have made significant steps these past week through outlines, storyboard drafts, figuring out who I want to use as my subjects, and other aspects that will heavily contribute to what I am implementing within my portfolio project. Now that I have grasped all of this new information, I am ready to move along with these exciting new things that are involved in this eventful journey. Despite me not making my Instagram page for my episodic documentary super active this week, I now can introduce my subjects this upcoming week and post a variety of other pieces of content that will allow my audience to become more engaged within my product. I am super excited for planning this next week as well as captivating my audience through posts within my Instagram page. Until next time!
