Peer Review

In class, I got to review someone else's film project. I was able to give my opinion about the film and see if it needed any changes. The group I reviewed had their video at exactly 2 minutes long (2:00) and the story told of two friends who were at a party and wanted to go leave. They called a car to come get them. The driver knew where they were going but dropped them off at an unknown location. The two friends got suspicious when they left the car and saw nothing at their location. They walked back to the car and out of curiosity opened the drivers trunk to see someone who was at the party tied up in the trunk. The driver see them and chases them away from the car. The driver finally catches on of them and beats him up with a stick. The other friend runs away and the the driver comes closer to the screen. This concept was really good. 

The group, however, did not do their title slides which is basically all they really need to do finish the project. There was good lighting throughout the film except for when the driver had beat up the friend with a stick. It was really dark and you could barely see the driver but I think it creates a good shadow and suspenseful build up to when the driver's face appears on screen. They had avoided filming the tripod and other people. They did have an extra friend be apart of the film who want in the class which I think was really good. I liked that the film seemed very organized but I would like to know how did the person from the party end up in the trunk. It would be great if that was shown. There was a establishing shot, close up, medium close up, long shot, over the shoulder, high angle, low angle, pan, eyeliner match, action match, diagetic sound and non-diagetic sound in the film. There was no pan or shot reverse shot to be seen.
