Peer review blog

  Today we peer reviewed each other's videos in class. My group was assigned to review group five. We started off by getting the paper we needed to fill out and check off what the person has and does not have. This paper included lighting, sound, camera angles and more. The group I reviewed did not fully finish their video. The video was too short and most of the tiles were missing this made it difficult to figure out what the story was. We were unable to understand what the film was trying to convey because it only showed the beginning. The student only showed a person waking up in the morning and going into the bathroom. One thing I really liked about the film was the editing. Even though the film was short and did not last very long I feel that the editing made it flow and brings what they have so far together. The transitions were very smooth and they were not choppy. All the titles that were put in so far were well done. One suggestion I would make is to make it longer so that people are able to understand what is going on. This can be done through any more dialogue, camera angles, and camera shots. Our group was able to give the student advice and feedback on what they have to fix in order to enhance their film.
   When we looked back at our paper that another group peer reviewed we realized that we would have to work on some of the audio to make it more clear. There were some parts in the video that did not have the same volume as the others because of something in the background like the wind. We also need to add more camera angles and camera shots. For our film, we plan to change a few things and shoot some more scenes to make it better. This was a good way to get feedback for our film and to learn the ways we can improve it.
