Peer Review

On Monday, our teacher was absent and left a list on the wall assigning each group a partner. We were also given a sheet of paper to fill out for our peer review. My group was assigned to peer review our classmate Ambi's final task. My group and I approached her and she sent us her project via AirDrop. As soon as she sent her video, I checked the time and it was 22 seconds longer than needed. So on the paper, I wrote that down when asked about it. In the beginning of her video, she included an eyeline match, which I really enjoyed. It included the kidnappers in a library, where one of them removed a book right in front of the camera, where it then revealed them. This also builds up mystery. It leaves the audience wondering what they were up to. It also is a great way to introduce the character, as it was very smooth. One suggestion I gave them would be to reshoot some scenes, as the audio does not match with the video. As well as in some scenes, the reflection of the cameraperson can be scene. Such as in a scene of the girl getting in the car, the car shows the reflection. Also, I would suggest they make some scenes shorter, as they took too long. Especially since the time was 22 seconds longer. As well as making the scenes more smooth. For the majority of the film it feels very choppy. This can easily be fixed with transitions and less ambient noise and music.
