Blog: Re-shoot

This past week we did out peer review at school. I already knew that most of the scenes I showed to the people that peer reviewed my work were not that good, so when I got home yesterday I re shot some scenes. For example, the first couple of scenes I needed to re shoot because my younger brother would not stop laughing at the camera. And towards the fighting scenes, some of them were very sloppy, and I know I need to re shoot and edit those as well. On the contrary, my cousin did an okay job. He did his scene and added expression to his face instead of looking dead. I do not remember 100% fully if he looked at the camera at any point, but if he did, I will have to re shoot that help as well. My mom was not feeling that way that day, so that is the reason why I did not shoot the whole opening sequence. May I add, that my film may be a little long. When I filmed the few little scenes, it came out to be 1:38 or something like that. The longest the film is supposed to be is 2:00 and this is too long for only about 5-6 scenes. I believe I may have filmed a few scenes too long, and gave some people more time on one scene. Some scenes that were only supposed to be about 2-3 seconds, ended up being about 5-6 seconds long. I will have to re-shoot those scenes as well. But this past weekend, I only re shot the first few scenes with my younger running into the house, to my mom driving away I am hoping this week I will be able to get some more scenes done as well.

Peer review blog


This is my peer review paper. I reviewed one of my close friends in my class. She did not review my opening sequence, but I did review hers. She only had a few scenes for me to review, but from what I saw, it was still pretty good. She correctly used all of the titles, she had them in the correct order as well. I really liked how she made the titles pop in. technically, her titles did not actually pop in, they actually faded in and out of the opening sequence. They were in legible reading, the font and color was very good as well. From the scenes that I saw in her opening sequence, I could not actually understand what was going on at first. But after watching it a couple of times I got the hang of it. From what she has so far, there is no real story except that there is a girl typing on her computer and then you hear people arguing in the background about a minute later. But I would actually love to watch her full opening sequence once its completed.
