Group meeting!

Hey, blog! Short break in all the talk about the actual project, just to talk about the Creative Critical Reflections. Last class we had group meetings, and obviously, most people are farther along than I am so that's what we were talking about. Although I've been pretty busy getting caught up on the actual project, I have been thinking about what I'll do for my CCR and what I have to say. 

I definitely want to do a Directors' Commentary for one of them, I did something similar in the past and I think it's one the best ways for me that I can share what I've learned.  For the second one, I wasn't really sure yet what I would do but I was listening to some ideas other people had and I really liked them. Some people from my class are doing those google most asked questions videos with the peel-off board and I think that's so cute and such a fun way to answer these questions. I kinda wanted to do something like that, but as we know I'm short on time so I think for my other video I am probably going to do, some sort of interview which I'm hoping I can convince my brother to act in haha. 

I have also been thinking a lot about how to answer the questions. Of course for how my production skills have developed, I definitely want to talk about the huge lesson this project has given me on time management with long-term projects like this, a lesson I am definitely going to remember if I take A-level next year. 

For the representation, we are representing our character's addiction in an abnormal way. Usually, movies like these show gamblers as cunning, professional, or low lives and wasting away. The approach we are taking forever represents the actual impulse control disorder that is gambling addiction. I really think that we will be able to shed light on the psychological side of this issue and enlighten people on the emotional impact this has on a person. Our film is aiming to show the inner workings of our character's mind and how he is affected. Once we film it that is... 

Back to that!
