Peer Review pt 2

Hi blog!! This is the last class meeting before spring break, where Lauren, Callie and I will all be away on vacation and unable to really focus on our film. Today in class we had another peer review session, and since the last session was very useful, I was excited to get some input from our classmates after we had already filmed our scenes. Lauren wasn't in class today, but Callie and I tried to reach out to as many of our classmates as we could to get some great feedback.

First, we watched some footage from some of our classmates' films and looked at their blogs to see their progress, and it was very reassuring to know that we were right on track with many of the other groups in our class. We then shared our own ideas with our classmates. We went through our blog posts and showed them our progress, and then showed some raw footage that we filmed. Since the footage was unedited, we had to explain the storyline in depth to our classmates. We were told by one of our classmates that the scenes we shot were good; however, our storyline for our film opening had too much action in it and seemed more like a trailer than a film opening. He suggested maybe shuffling the scenes from part one and part two to make it look more like an opening. Callie thinks this is a good idea, but I still like the original storyline, and maybe instead just having the title sequence play through the second part to make it seem more like an opening, rather than a trailer. We both decided that we would have to talk to Lauren about what she thought, as well. When we get back from spring break we are all going to have a group talk about how we think we should edit the film.
