1st Meeting (Kind of)

Meeting recap:
- The first thing we addressed is our equipment. Due to some budget cuts, we no longer have Premiere Pro to work with so we will most likely be using WeVideo to edit. However, we did discuss maybe paying for Premiere for one month after our footage is done but we don't know yet.
- Ideas: A while back I was on Youtube and stumbled on to some short films made by an account called Omeleto. We really enjoyed how simple the story was and how the producers managed to create a quick but fun movie.
- Schedule: Pearse and I have taken a lot of new responsibilities this year so time management is huge for us. Since we are both working and have various extracurricular activities we have agreed to work on the weekend. Both of us are relatively free on Saturdays and Sundays so those are the two main days we will be working on.
- Blogger: Our blog posts will include more detail about or progress. Since this project is more complicated than last years there will be more blog posts about the story we plan on transforming into our short film.

It was a successful meeting and we did spend various amounts of time watching short films on Youtube. There were many we didn't particularly like and we took time to discuss why. For example, we watched a 20-minute short film about two people talking at a wedding. The acting was very amateur and the dialogue wasn't engaging. But we did find one we really liked which I will include the link to down below. The difference between the two was the dialogue and in the second one, there was more action happening that made it a better film (in my opinion).
