Peer Review Blog

This week, our class did peer reviews on each other’s films. Each of our groups was assigned a number. We then looked at a list to see what number group we were grading, and what number group was grading us. Our class all put our films onto our own flash drives. We got the flash drive from the group we were grading, and gave our flash drive to the group grading us. We were given a piece of paper with questions to answer while we were reviewing the groups film. We watched the other groups film. We first watched it without answering any questions on the paper. Then we watched it again to fill out the questions. As I watched the video, I payed attention to the angles, shots, and movements used in the film. The paper asked if the group used the correct camera techniques, if they had titles, music, if they used certain shots, etc. We also had to write down the time that the group used each shot or angle. After filling out the worksheet, we gave the flash drive back to the group. We also showed them the peer review so they could see our feedback. After that, I got my flash drive back from the group who graded our film. I also looked at the peer reviews they wrote to see what my group mate and I could improve on. They said that we needed to improve on lighting, which I understood. We tried to make the lighting kind of dark for our film because it is a horror movie set at night. But we should have made the lighting a little brighter to make it easier to see. We will fix that and any other mistakes in the reshoot and re-edit portion of completing our film.
