Peer Review

          Today, we peer reciewed each other’s videos in class. I had to bring in my computor and hard drive this day so that I could show the video. Basically, we first were assigned partners to peer review. I was assigned Macy as my partner for peer review, and the person I was reviewing was Kenely. Once we found each other and congregated, we were then ready to start the peer review process. I watched kenely’s video while filling out the peer review sheet. His movie turned out very good and ha da good storyline. There were many different camera angles used in the video which was very good. The titles were also all there which was good since they are a key component to the video.  His storyline was about a man who is in his room laying in bed. Doesn’t sound very interesting at first, however, then we learn that there is an evil mastermind watching this man in his sleep. We see him watching this man in his room through a computor screen, which was my favorite part of it.

           Now, it was our turn to show our video. The first time, we got half way through watching our video and then the usb somehow disconnected so we had to restart watching the video. After watching through the video completely, we silently waited as Macy finished writing her peer review sheet for our video. She liked everything in our video, and said they it just needed to have some more scenes. There was one part in our video that she also said had inadequate lighting. In order to improve this we are going to film during the day and not the afternoon when it is a little darker outside. We also realized one of our biggest mistakes, for example in one of the POV shots, we weren’t facing the camera the right way. When we were filming it, we just need to make sure the footage is more steady. Also one thing to be improved upon was our sound. There were some parts of our video that had poor sound quality due to cars moving in the background, or someone talking in the background. The last thing that could be improved upon was not looking at the camera. In one shot, jack accident looks at the camera. We will make sure to fix this vital mistake.
