Film Review

After some rough draft editing and going through my film I decided to put something together just to make sure we are on the right path. I want to take any constructive criticism into consideration for further editing. So, I decided to ask one of my mother’s friend and coworker, Mellisa to review my film. I choose to do Mellisa because she does not know me that well and she is a hard worker, she know good work when she sees it. My mother said that at work Mellisa checks and corrects some of my mother’s work for errors before she sends important information to clients. According to my mom she does a very well good job and is well-educationed about the media industry. Since she does not know me too well I’m sure she will not be biased and she is aware it is going to be officially graded. Prior to sending her the video I did explain the final task project and everything we had to include. She has children around my age and she told me that she had to do something similar. She knows some of the rules and regulations so she offered to help me. She gave many positive comments and very specific constructive criticism which I appreciated. She began speaking of the color coordination of the characters outfits with the color green. The color green is used to represent insecurity, uncertainty, and judgment. She also enjoyed the awkwardness of the conversations. She did though mention that she could hear some of the characters voices. I thought about the issue and it has an easy solution of just rising the volume on that shot on an editing software. She also said she would like to see more clean shots and with same lightning. I spoke to my group of this issue and decide to re-filmed those shots for the best solution. Overall with have good things to work towards and we are making progress to improving. Mellissa was a great choice for peer reviewing my film because she was well-informed and had some background on what to look for.
