Production Blog: Peer Review

 When we sent our video to Eileen, she thought the idea of murder in a high school was not unusual, but we added a twist that kept her intrigued throughout the film. Eileen's viewpoint was important to Michelle, Rose, and I since she critiqued and provided comments on our video. But because she is a buddy. We wanted her to actually enjoy it. She compiled a list of advantages and disadvantages after seeing the film. She praised what we did well and identified areas for improvement. The positives were that she thought we had terrific angles, nice lighting, costumes, and fear. The downside was the audio. She said that the angles we used for each image were appropriate. That even though they were simple, we weren't attempting to dominate our work. Regarding the lighting, she commended us on our ability to work as the sun was sinking. We had limited control over this, but we did an excellent job. She thought our clothes matched our idea when it came to fitting the characters' costumes. She imagined they would eventually fit the character's characteristics. Despite the fact that we showed her the first draft, she decided that our final version was better, but we still wanted to try. We thanked her and thoroughly loved what she had to say because we had spent a long time deciding how we wanted to clothe the figures. "The horror," Eileen complimented us on how much fear and tension we packed into the two minutes. She described it as "immersive and that the mystery is created nicely." My friends and I are pretty creative people, so we attempted to fit as much in as we could. As for the disadvantage. She commented on the audio/speech, saying that we should have shouted louder. We took the critique seriously, despite its lightness. Each blog brings us one step closer. See you next time Media Studies Crew!
