Production Blog: Finishing Touches

  Last time we focused on the audio in our film. Today we did our film review. Each member in the group was required to send our film to one person they know. We wanted to get very honest feedback so we told the people we sent our films to to be brutally honest. Then after we got all our feedback, we discussed together the things that should be changed in our film. I decided to send the film to my uncle. My uncle gave both positives and negatives. On the positive side, he said he found our plot very interesting and creative. He said that it kept him entertained. Another good thing he said was that he thought that we utilized the angles very well in the film. He said the good use of angles made it seem professional. On the downside, he said the lighting in some shots was poor and it was too dark. This is partly my fault due to the fact that I am the cameraman as i could've used certain camera settings to lighten up the shots. Another thing he said was that the background music didn't sound very professional. With that feedback, we decided to explore more options of the royalty free music and we think we found a better song for the film. We also used editing tools to try and lighten up the picture in some of the shots. Overall, peer review is always good for your work and I think it helped us out a lot today.
