Peer review

Yesterday we did our peer reviews. Me and Emi reviewed Angelo's video. The video I peer reviewed was very good. It was already edited. One of the recommendations I made was for him to make the video shorter because it was eleven seconds too long. His video was about a boy playing basketball. I think that he did a good job developing a story. I also like how he made the transitions clean and made the video flow well. Another thing that he should fix is his titles. He did not have enough and they were not in any order. 

The next thing that I scrutinized about the video was the lighting. I think that the film was well lit but his choice of lighting filters should be changed. He used a green light filter which I think was confusing to the mood he was trying to create. For the sound effects I feel like some of the voices in the video were too faint. But I think that overall the digetic sound in the video was good. For nondigetic sound it was mainly basketballs hitting the ground and the volume was good. When I watched his video I could tell that he put effort when he made the sound effects. This was obvious by the clean and crisp sound that I heard. I could see this same effort with the lighting. Even though he used some bad filters he used them with good intentions.

Finally we looked at his shots and angles. Some angles and shots that he needed weren't in the video. When it came to angles he only had one that he needed which was a low angles. He did not have a high angle. For shots he used most of them except for a close up and over the shoulder. He also forgot to use a shot reverse shot. One thing that I liked about his video was his use of flashbacks to tell his story. One suggestion that I made was for him to add all of the missing shots and angles. Overall I believe that it was a good video. I think that what I learned here can be used in my own film.
