Peer Reviewing Time!

Hello! Now that everyone in my AICE Media class has a somewhat put together 2 min movie opener completed it was time to give each other some feedback. We were randomly assigned a number for our own group and then a number was listed as to what group we were going to be reviewing. The group that my group and I got was group number 11. My group and I watched it all the way through once and then started on our review.  Their movie was about a girl who had a nightmare of some creepy chaser running around after another girl through a grass field for an unknown reason and she wakes up to find out the chaser is with her in her bedroom. They called theirs “The Nightmare”. Their film was just under the minimum amount, by 5 seconds. However they did mention to us before that it’s not yet finalized and by the end it will meet the time requirement. Within the 1 min and 45 seconds group 11 was able to create and story that a viewer like me was able to follow. I thought all of their transitions were clean and none of them looked too choppy which was nice. For this project we were required to include 10 title slides and for them to be in a certain order. This group did a good job of including all 10 however a couple of them were swapped in the order sequence. Which is an easy fix. The film had an overall good lighting and everything was easy to see clearly. Sound was also very good. There wasn’t much dialogue but the whole time I was able to hear and understand any sound that was occurring. Their group does need to include a song though which is a suggestion I made for their sounds. Perhaps a creepy or suspenseful tune to add to their mood. Group 11 also made sure to avoid accidentally capturing any tripods or filming equipment in the background of their shots. Then we went back in through to dissect whether or not they had all of the mandatory shots and at what time they were. This group had almost all of the required shots except for a few, but that’s okay because they can just go reshoot and add them in. Overall, I did really enjoy their film and think so far they are doing a good job and just need a few improvements like the music and extra shots.
