Evaluation of Peer Reviews

1.)  What specific technical elements of the film opening did you dislike? I disliked the speed of the zoom at 0:56. If done slower, it would've added a more sentimental moment to the scene. Instead, it felt hurried and insignificant. Also, I'm not a fan of the transitions used to cut in between scenes. They feel immature and oddly placed. Something like a match cut or whip pan may work better for this scenario. This was originally written by Angela, and my response is that I agree with her response. This is mostly because our recording was somewhat rushed and it made the first cut look like Angela said " Immature and oddly spaced." Another thing is that the zoom was also rushed and it could have been taken more seriously due to us adding it last minute, Thankfully all of these problems were resolved in our final version of the opening film. 2.) Now for the things I dislike... I would say there are slight errors throughout this opening. Starting off, the transitions a...

Editing 2

         This week Both Dyanna and Mahathi had to work together in order to finish editing in time. Although it seemed hard and lengthy, Dyanna said that the work was fairly easy and smooth to finish because Mahathi would also help her out while working on the editing. Their team work would allow us to have just little things to fix in the editing. For example the little things would be fixing the tone of the lighting, lowering the volume of the background and either raising or lowering the volume of the music. All the effects, title font, and sound effects stayed the same like previously stated in the 1st Editing blog. For example, A sound effect that we have discussed is a sound effect that emphasizes the feeling of shock into someone; this conversation made it through the whole process of editing. The amount of time that was spent editing was during the entirety of the class period and sometimes it was done as homework if they had free time to work.   ...

What specific technical elements of the film opening did you like? *      I like the low key lighting of the entire video because it sets up the mysterious and sort of fearful tone of this piano player getting attacked by a threat in his car. Another thing that I liked is the camera angles for the piano. This included a close up shot of the strings, this gives a feeling of musicality and wonder as the main person we focus on is playing the instrument. The next angles that I like is a upwards tilt towards the characters face, because it show us how this person dresses as he plays the piano, and it shows how professional he is with his hobby. The next shot that I liked is the pan from our character to the mysterious and dangerous threat that is looming In the back of the car. This scene would then transition into a drone-shot of the car as it slowly pulls back the shot, this is done so that the audience could have another feeling of mystery because we are left on a cliff ha...
