Group Six- Multimedia
Members: Alex, Maria, Caitlin, Tim and Ryan
Meeting Times:
1. Hey everyone! Maybe we should try to have a meeting this weekend coming up (March 1-2) that way THON will be over and we can get everything worked out!
2. Maria and Caitlin can both meet this Saturday morning/afternoon (March 29)....can anyone else meet then?
Meeting 2 Times:
4/8: 2:30pm @ the HUB Fishtank
4/21/08: Alex, Ryan and Maria met up and wrote the script for our movie. Alex and Maria then headed over to Willard to inquire about borrowing a video camera; we should probably check back there Friday because the borrowing time limit is 3 days, and that way we'd have the whole weekend to use it.
4/23/08: Caitlin went to Willard and got a camera and tri-pod so we can start shooting whenever we want.
NEXT MEETING --
SAT @ NOON, meet at steps of Willard: video shoot 1: We will have to shoot the clip then; make sure you bring 2 shirts (due to present-time shots and flashbacks)
4/27/08: Meet at 4:30 at Willard (remember to wear same outfit as Saturday and bring an extra shirt)
Project Ideas:
1. Maybe we could film a fake commercial for a product (this would allow us to have a specific message and audience)
2. Maybe we could also incorporate the asking questions of people on the street randomly, whether its for endorsing a fake product or for some other reason; just an idea sometimes it can be entertaining if its not too overdone
SCRIPT ROUGH DRAFT:
Scene 1: Ryan walks toward wiillard building (in head)
Ryan: “I’m on my way to work on a group meeting with a group of kids from my CAS100C class. We decided we were going to do a project about different roles people function as in a group. Today is May 4th, 2008, and our project is due May 5th, 2008. Some might be worried, but I’m pretty confident we can get things done. We’ve had a few meetings before… We’re pretty solid. First there’s Maria, she’s … sensitive.
(cut to clip of previous meeting)
Maria: I wish we could all just get along! I could bake a cake made out of rainbows and smiles, and we'd all eat it and be happy.
(Ryan’s has now become a v.o.)
Ryan: Then there’s Caitlin; she’s… very self-assured
(cut to a clip of previous meeting)
Caitlin: (enthused): Now I really really think we should do this my way.
Ryan: Now Alex, she’s what I would call… supportive.
(clip of previous meeting)
Ryan: I think I’m gonna grab a drink of water
Alex: I think that’s a great idea. I love water!
Ryan: And lastly, there’s T--- (Tim busts through door and demands Alex get out of his chair, “Get the fuck out of my chair!”) … Tim Is passionate.
Scene 2: Willard Building, group meeting
Caitlin – Now that everyone’s here, let’s get this meeting started. I already have a list of ideas that we’re going to use. So for the project, we are going to make a music video.
Tim(cuts her off): That’s the stupidest idea I’ve ever heard. Were your parents first cousins or something who were also horrible at coming up with ideas?
Caitlin(snappy) – Really Tim, really? You think you can come up with something better?
Tim – Yeah, I do. I know I can come up with something better.
Caitlin – But Hillary loves music videos! Do we really want to go back to your banana idea? (cut to Tim asking if anyone has a banana suit)
---Pause----
Ryan (awkwardly) – Yeah, that was… uh… special. I think we can come up with something else.
Tim – That was a great idea.
Caitlin – No it was not. That was the worst idea ever!
(shot of maria)
Maria (hands over ears) – Guys, pleeeease stop fighting.
Ryan – Look, why don’t we just perform a skit for the class where we’ll all portray different group roles?
Alex – OH MY GOD. I love your ideas.
Maria – I like it too.
Tim – Yeah, actually, that’s not so bad.
Caitlin – Fine, whatever. Maria, you’re going to be the aggressor.
( shot of maria perplexed)
Maria – But I’m not aggressive!
Caitlin (snarky) – Well too bad. Ryan, you’ll be the dominator, since you’ve tried to take over the group so many times already. I’ll be the level headed leader. Alex, I would suggest that you’d be the encourager but it’s not really a far cry from who you actually are, so you’ll be the self-confesser, and Tim, you’ll be the encourager.
Tim – No, no, I’m not going to be any fucking encourager.
Caitlin – Tim, stop resisting movement by the group.
Tim – Caitlin, stop asserting control over the group by manipulating the other group members.
Maria – Can’t we all just get along?
Tim - Nobody cares about your non group related feelings or opinions.
Ryan – People, people, this isn’t productive. We need to work together.
Caitlin (louder) – People! This isn’t productive. We need to work together. So who wants to write the script?
Ryan – I’ll do it.
Alex: I’ll do it too!
Caitlin – Alright, well, Tim, you help them.
Tim – Considering how dumb their ideas are I guess it’s good I’ll be working on it too.
Scene 3: Ryan is writing the script.
Tim - -and then, Maria walked in and be all, “What the fuck, you’re in my chair!”
Ryan – Come on, Tim, you can’t curse.
Alex – Yeah, you can’t curse!
Tim – I think if Hillary said cumshot in class, we’re pretty much allowed to say whatever we want.
---fade out---
Ryan (emerging from somewhere) – Guys, I’ve got the script, it’s great!
*hands out papers to everyone*
Maria – Oh, guys, do I really have to say this?
Caitlin – Maria, just do it.
Maria – But I…. fine. So, like, “Get the fuck out of my chair?” Did I say it right?
Caitlin (really sarcastic) – Oh this is going to be good.
----fade out----
(shot of Ryan noticeably tired at 6 AM)
Ryan – Well that took a little longer than expected, but, despite a few setbacks, the group really pulled together. Our team had a lot of strong, conflicting personalities, but we pulled through and finished our skit.
(shot of the group getting along)
Ryan – We might even manage an A.
(Tim and Caitlin, two shots – wringing each others’ necks, to a cheesy high five)
