Group Meeting Post: Introducing Trey to Strangers
Today I met with the other students about Trey's Split. At first, I felt quite nervous about revealing my project. It wasn't a matter of insecurity but rather a fear that my fellow classmates simply wouldn't understand the nuances of Trey's Story. So I explained the premise to them in a very blunt way for them to truly comprehend what my movie is about. Here's what they said;
Trey's Story is Relatable
To my surprise, people can actually relate to Trey's struggles of not being able to fit in with his respective culture. One classmate states that because she's a lot more religious than the other Latinos in her school, she's never able to fit in with them.
Production Advice
Since I'm a member of Cypress Bay Television, they asked me a lot of questions about how I would go about filming and editing my opening. I told them about the equipment I would use, the locations we would film at, and the post-production resources that we would need to make it all happen. They also asked me for assistance with their own projects, seeking to make their productions look more professional. I told them that they could get equipment from BECON TV for free, and that if they really needed something I could check the equipment out from the CBTV studio for them (under my supervision of course.)
Praise For The Production/Reflection
The general perception of Trey's Split was positive, and they really liked the aesthetic I was going for with this project.
I learned that my film can spread its outreach to different cultures and races in ways that I could never imagine. Every misfit could relate to Trey's struggles, not just those from the Black community. I've come to realize that there is a lot of pressure to make this video turn out good. Not just for the grade, but for it to truly resonate with people who need to hear the film's message.
