We had a group meeting in class with other students working on their portfolio, but everyone in my group was doing documentaries so... I didn't get too much help out of it haha. Also means I couldn't help them as much as I should have or wanted to. I did recommend a title for my friend Gabi for her doc about queer youth. I suggested We Are Young cause it's a cool title and a reference to a cool song.
I shared the entire idea for my project without getting into deep specifics, I didn't want to spend so much time on mine when we had a few to get through. If we had infinite time I would've asked them to review my script. I did get more assurance on my concept and was pointed in the direction of approaching the film as more of a comedy than any other genre, which I was keeping in mind and it does make sense. The Life & Go Dept. Clinic is a very out there idea, to approach it in any serious manner (especially in 5 minutes) would be too difficult and cluttered to really develop and flesh out. I'm now approaching it as a more comedic film with an honest theme/message behind it, and I think that's a good slight shift of mindset. The concept in itself is fairly comedic, especially the idea of doing tasks on a list while crawling to your ripped out heart, so that's good. Script is done I'm just waiting on peer review before I post it on here, but I will also make sure that the dialogue is more comedic. This makes The Nice Guys more of a production to take after since it is a comedy about two guys (woah. it's like I'm making a kinda comedy about two guys kinda). Group meeting helped me center my whole genre better which is good!
