Production Blog: Peer Review

Welcome back Bloggers. Today I had one of my friends review all the scenes we shot for our opening sequence. My friend Ava reviewed every scene a couple times. She looked interested and entertained by the short film which was a good sign but she did have some critique which helped so I can improve it. She criticized the lighting, and some shots we used. She said that some of the earlier scenes could have been improved if we used some more close ups. She also mentioned that the acting was a little awkward at times. The volume in the sequence also varies. Some scenes were louder than others. This complaint looked like it was the one she thought was the most important. She also had some positive comments. She really liked the scene in the car and packing the bags. She said the scene helped create a connection with the cast. She also enjoyed the scene with the blood trail. She said it created a sense of suspense that kept her interested during the final part. She also said the titles and fonts were perfect. She also thought the pacing of the sequence was good and no scenes were dragged for too long. Overall, she thought the sequence was really good but could definitely improve on the volume. I thanked her so much for taking time out of her day to help me. This feedback is going to be very useful. Thank you! Have an amazing day
