Peer Feedback

After showing my product to my peers, I received both positive and negative feedback. The positive feedback I received was complimenting the camera shot we did of the note at the end. I was also complimented on the parallel editing I included with the takes going from the locker room and Mia under the bleachers. I received quite a few critiques with my film. My peers said that without my explanation it is unclear that Colten cheated on Mia. Next time, I will add more dialogue to convey what is happening. Also, I  shot my film on different days and Noah was wearing different clothes in the locker room than in the rest of the film. I will most likely re-shoot the scenes at once so they are all wearing the same clothes. We most importantly need to re shoot the fight scene, some of the fighting looks unplanned. When I edit the film for the second time, I need to make sure that I have the actors speak louder and I should lower the volume of the background music.

The outburst formed by Noah in my film was an outcome of the distress Mia conveys.
