Reshoot Blog: Considering the Peer Review Notes

As I previously mentioned in my past blog, on Tuesday March 3,2020, the class participated in a peer review. In this peer review groups viewed each other’s films. This was done to provide a feedback on what they thought about it. On Friday March 5, 2020, we exchanged sheets. Each group now has the feedback on their film. This feedback will help us in the reshooting process. We will know what to change, what to add, and what to remove. So when it comes time for the reshoot we will be mindful of what we need to do to make our film more appealing. It will also allow us to be more confident in our film.

Unfortunately, my group members and I were not able to reshoot any of our scenes. The reason being was that we were all far too busy to do so. However, this time was not wasted. Instead we analyzed our feedback and talked about how we are going to make the film better. As I inferred from the peer review sheet, the group that reviewed us did not completely figure out the plot. This means that in the reshoot we need to make the story of the film more clear. We also didn't include the “Directed By” title at the end of the opening, didn’t place the titles in the correct order, and didn’t include a pan and diegetic sound.  To add on, according to the sheet, the dialogue was hard to hear in certain parts of the film. There were some positives in the film as well. These were good lighting, good sound quality, providing the necessary titles (with the exception of one), clean transitions, the necessary elements of C.A.M.S. (with the exception of two), and good acting. Upon reading this review, my group members and I figured out ways to implement these into our film during the reshoot.
