Today, I had my first group meeting with my peers. I came into this experience initially with a bit of criticism and doubt. I thought that my idea had little room for improvement and that this experience would not be as useful and meaningful to me as it ended up being. We all took turns expressing our ideas in hopes to receive constrictive, honest, and quality feedback. Starting with me, I came in with the idea of an opening scene about a fictional movie based on a cyber attack on the U.S. government. The meeting ended up being very insightful because I was able to listen to 5 different peoples perspective at the same time. This allowed me to consider flaws in my plan that I would have not thought of previously. One factor that they considered in particular that stood out to me. Making a government setting with people my age would be very difficult. Because of this and other helpful insights given to me, I am now actively restructuring my idea to better work and rectify the venerabilities in my idea.
In terms of the other people in my group, they had very bright ideas, but we all benefited equally from this meeting. Although we all had vastly different ideas, we all seemed to have one vulnerability in common. We all struggled to some degree in limiting the plot of our ideas. It was easy for us to forget that this is supposed to be an opening scene of a fictional movie. Because of this, we cant develop too much in terms of the plot. With this is mind, a majority of our conversations circled around simplifying our initial ideas instead of adding depth to them. This was a very insightful experience for me and my peers, and we will all use the intel and inspiration gathered from out conversations to make out projects even better. Without this quality feedback I was given, half of my project would have had a issue that I did not even think to consider.
