UNITE- Group Feedback

Hey everyone! 

This week, T-Stok, our advisor, thought it would be a fun to break our class up into groups and discuss our projects. We talked about what we had planned, what we liked about each idea, what we didn't like, and so much more. I'm going to tell you guys about the most insightful feedback I got, but first, here's the team!


It was so fun working with them! Our goal was to be able to give everyone feedback, so we gave everyone 15 minutes, and if we had more to say, we had an opportunity to add on at the end. We also exchanged numbers to get further feedback later, if we wanted it!


Storyboard
Most of the group had at least started their storyboard, so we really need to get on that. We weren't able to get feedback about shots and composition as we did not have a story board ready :/, but it's okay they really liked the topic of immigrant stories and the idea for our episode being about a Hispanic business owners success.


Outline
Since we didn't have a storyboard, I used our outline to guide the group through the documentary. They really liked the outline, but they were a little confused. Since most of them are doing a short film, they didn't understand that this was just an excerpt of the documentary, so it felt incomplete... but it's supposed to be. Besides that they felt the main topics of resilience, success, and expansion were well thought out, but they thought the expansion topic would be a good place to end the episode. I agree honestly, so this excerpt is probably not going to be near the end, but going to be the actual end of the episode.



Voiceover
Danny thought it would be super important to include a voice over in our documentary to move the story along better, but I feel that the direct interviews will do that as the subjects are a father and a daughter, so the interviews will be very insightful. The council (also known as Isa, Lucas, and I) will take this into consideration, but we aren't really feeling it. There's no harm in giving it a shot, but it'll be something we think upon further as we create our storyboard!

I hope you guys enjoyed this insight into our group meeting! Bye guys, remember, follow our Facebook page!

The episodic documentary, "Make it Happen," works to develop a better understanding of immigrant’s experiences in the United State...
