Production Blog: Peer review

Hey bloggers, as you all may know me and my group have completed our opening sequence. Now obviously it isn't perfect so I had one of my friends look over the film and give his honest opinion. I also asked him to pay attention to different flaws that could have some improving. He watched every scene 3-5 times to make sure he didn't miss anything. The first critizism he gave was was that certain scenes were too loud. I kept that in mind so I could discuss with my group after. He also then said that the Lighting was a little too dark for the scenes in the woods. So I talked to my group and we noted it down so we can also fix it later. These critiques helped us a lot since we want our opening scene to look as good as possible. On the other hand, my friend also gave some positive comments about our film. He said that the scenes transitioned smoothely. Meaning that the scenes were around the same length and none of them were too long. He stated that he really enjoyed the scene of us grabbing the bags and of us in the car jamming to music. He also liked the scene with the blood and the ripped shirt. He mentioned that it look realsitic and matched the whole theme of it being a thriller. One point that he made that meant a lot was that he noticed the change of emotion because of the music change. He said it was engaging and it really grabbed his attention since it started all happy and ended with suspense. This genuinely sticked to me since that was the whole goal when selecting the music so it made me really happy. In concusion, he said it was really enjoyable to watch but needs some improvement with the lighting and the sound. I'm really glad I asked him to review the scenes. His advice and critizism was extremely helpful. With my friends help we were able to make certain edits to our scenes which improved the quality of our opening scene drastically. This is all for today bloggers, have a wonderful day.
