Group meeting

Today in class, we were put in group to discuss and receive feedback on each others projects so far. The activity is meant to get input from peers and help us move forward in our process, and know is the perfect time for me because I've been stuck trying to find an ending for my script. My group members were Victoria, Mariano, Daniela, and Manuela. I hyperlinked all of their blogs so you can also check out what they are working on. 

For my idea, the general consensus was that it was a funny idea and had a lot of potential, just need to figure out where it was going. There were a few ideas thrown out from my group members, including having him poop, then he eats again and then has to poop again, starting a cycle. Another recommendation I got was trying to figure out a location I wanted it to end on, and then writing around that, but I much rather prefer and believe in writing and then finding a location, not the other way around if possible. 

A point that was brought up that really stuck with me was whether I wanted the ending to be more grounded in reality or some absolute crazy nonsense that will lead to the protagonist pooping. An example that I brought up during the meeting of a crazy ending was that they ran into a cult when they run out of gas and they are about to sacrifice them, and the only thing that will save them is if one of them defecated, because the cult is a poop cult. Something insane thing like that. As ridiculous as something like this sounds, I don't think that this whole conflict should be settled as easily or as basically as him finding a bathroom. I think that it would feel anticlimactic. But I'm not sure if some absurd idea like this would be too much and start to detach itself from the original premise. I'm also not sure if this is necessarily a bad thing. But overall, I think it definitely did help me narrow down my vision towards ending my script. 

Another idea that they gave me for the social media was a post centered on Eduardo, who the story is based on, and I thought that was really funny and really liked this idea. They brought up the idea of making him a complete character and I thought that was fun.

Overall, this helped me get a sense of where to go next with my script, and you'll hopefully be seeing the finished product soon.
