Conducting a peer review

          In class on Tuesday, my group mates and I conducted a peer review of another group's film. The film had many positive values however, negative values as well. There were many things I liked about the film however there was one thing in particular that I really liked. The one thing I really liked about the film was the scary “creature” shown throughout the film. The “creature” was very realistic making the film look more professional. The realistic effect of the “creature” made watching the film more enjoyable. Additionally, the way the “creature” moved was very spine chilling. This really brought out the horror the audience craves and wants to watch. The “creature” made the overall film much scarier and interesting for the audience. Without the appearance of the “creature”, the film would have lacked interest as well as suspense and horror.
          Although there were many things that I liked about the film, there were a few things that could have used some improvements. Out of the many improvements that could have been made, there was only one main issue that could use some suggestions. One main suggestion I would make to the film is to improve the lighting throughout the entire film. All of the footage was very dark making it hard to see the overall setting and characters. The darkness of the footage resulted in the audience being unable to see the character’s facial expressions when being scared by the “creature.” This issue is very crucial as it decreases the quality of the film. Not being able to see the character's expressions or the setting in which the characters lye makes the film significantly less interesting and scary for the audience. The lighting of the film could be fixed by simply turning on a small lamp when filming, slightly opening the curtains, or increasing the brightness through the use of editing. If this main issue is resolved, the film will become better and more professional as a whole. Overall, the film isn't considered one of the best films I have seen however, it was good and somewhat interesting for my group and me to watch.
