Connecting and reaching out

     As the project filming date reaches closer and becomes more time consuming, I have realized that connecting is extremely important to continue the project process. This was especially hard as this week, I was not in class at all, which made it much harder to continue efforts and to remain connected with the group members. In order to remain connected, and essentially continue the planning process outside of the classroom and over more frequent periods of time, a group chat was created with all the members, and we began brainstorming locations, plot lines, and further strategies we could use to generate a successful project. Here is our group chat profile that was established. 

    As for a follow up for the previous connections that I did, reaching out to bands and musicians for possible musical input and sound for our project, it turned out to be a success. Astrobrite, one of the 90s shoegaze bands I reached out to, successfully responded, giving me full permission to use any of his work in the project. I still am unsure if this would actually be used in the project, possibly as synchronous sound as the friends drive into the everglades to set the opening off with a disturbing tone, but the option still remains open. Down below you can see the screenshot of the interaction that I had with the account.
