Filming: Peer Review

On Tuesday, March 3, 2020, the class participated in a peer review. In this peer review we had to first import our films onto a flash drive. Then we had to give our flash drive to the group that was assigned to review our film. The point of this peer review is to have our film be seen with a pair of fresh eyes. In other words, be seen by someone who has never seen it before. This allows anything that we might have missed to come to light. It also allows for feedback that can aid you in the future. For instance, if a group of people in your target audience watches your film before it premieres, they can tell you what they liked and didn’t like about the movie so that once it premieres it doesn’t flop in the box office. As a result, when it comes time for the reshoot, we will know what we need to change or add to make our film more appealing and overall better.

Once importing our film onto a flash drive and giving it to the other group that was peer reviewing us, my group members, Aaliyah, Lauren, Anishka, and I were ready to peer review. My group was group 6, and the group we had to peer review was group 3. Their film was a thriller. My first impression of the film was that it was well structured; it was not choppy at all. All of the transitions were extremely smooth. To add on, it didn’t take long for me to understand the plot of the film. For a film with no dialogue, that to me was really impressive. This group’s film also kept me entertained throughout the duration of the film. The only thing that I felt could’ve been changed is their lighting. The lighting wasn’t bad, I just feel as though it could’ve been brighter so that all of the aspects or features of the film can be fully seen. Another thing that I can say about the film is, that it would’ve benefited a bit more if it had dialogue to make it seem less like a trailer. Overall, this film was amazing and if it were real, I would look forward to watching it in the movie theater.
