We had a meeting with the tutor and came out of that meeting with a list of things that we needed to do. A lot of the things that were said were good suggestion and something I took on board, but will not be using in the story. The story was that the these are the last of the humans left, that they had gone through so much despair and fear for their lives that having this Jellyfish as a new home was a new start. The main idea was to have a main female character that wanted to get out and explore the old world, despite what other have said. I did not write this part of the story as I thought this was an environment project, not a character project. Now I have been told that we need a main character, which is fine and I have written the bio for her.
As for the idea that the Jellyfish needs to be somewhere closer to danger, I found this difficult as because of the sheer size of the Jellyfish, it would not be anywhere close to the shore or ground. Having to add this in seems silly, and having to change the whole plot because of it means changing the intel idea. Which to me feels as if that my idea doesn't matter anymore, and that in the end I really have no chose in this project. I have to now add in a turtle to create some sort danger to the Jellyfish, which just seems silly, but I would rather do this then have the Jellyfish flying or having to make it almost hit the floor........ Also, a comment about how the city is not as important as the Jellyfish and the environment around it was not something that made any sense to me, as the city was the environment and not the environment that the jellyfish was swimming around in. As of that I have continued to as for building designs and for the modelers to model the city as this is the main feature for this project along with the Jellyfish. This is my opinion to what has happened and I'm a bit disappointed in what has happened.
Also after the team meeting, the whole team had another meeting to discussion who will be doing what. I was told to give the main character concept to shawna as she has been doing the characters so far, but when asked to do it she was fine until the idea of painting the outside world came up ( which was tasked to me) and she made the comment that she doesn't want to do characters anymore as its to hard for her, she would rather do that. This comment leaves me thinking of her in a way that annoys me, as she said at the beginning of the project she wanted to do the characters. Also she has not completed as much work as the others in my group and has only done what it seems to be the basic that she can do. This annoys me and disappoints me also, as this is a team effort and she is letting us down. I have now said that when she finishes the human concepts, she can move on to the new turtle idea. I feel that I shouldn't have to do this it means more work for others just to please one person. Now I have take on the main character concept as well as having to finish 3 rendered paintings of the Jellyfish.
