Filming blog- Peer Review

Tuesday we finished our process and started peer review. Peer review is when our videos are swapped with another group in order to help them improve their film. However, this also gave our group an opportunity to compare and improve. Our film was completed lacking much. This was partially due to the short time provided. The sequencing and titles are there, but it’s missing some key elements such as scores. We intend to fix this immediately after the peer review, which is tomorrow. We will work with our group collectively to add and subtract any elements needed to enhance the film. It will run smoother because Lauren will hear, particularly because she has total access to the computer and iMovie. This is imperative as we always use iMovie instead of the school recommended.

The group we were peer regrouping was group 3. This group consisted of Stephanie and Kaitlyn.they made a film entitled, “the red dot”. In the film, a girl struggles to escape with her friend. The reason was not apparent to me, but I know pertained to the red dot she had on her hand. There were a few issues with the sequence. For starters, the titles were not in the right order, as we were given a specific sequence to list the title. Additionally, the sound isn’t as great as it could be. For me, it didn’t feel realistic due to the lack of diegetic sound. I recommended that it be re-included. I also recommended that they add a ring light to improve  lighting quality. Other than that and a few missing angles, the film was very well executed. Shots and editing was very easily identified. The angles were clear and cleverly executed. We will use these in order to improve our own film before the submission of our film deadline.
