Challenges in Film

        During our film process, we experienced and are still experiencing many issues. We are all dependent upon each other and if one is not caught up then we are all held back. We are experiencing issues finding the right time to film as our schedules are distinguished from each others. We are trying to solve this by planning ahead. Another issue we face is where to record said film. We still cannot find a parking lot of an office building in which we can all go to. We will also have a short time to record as it will be during sundown. We plan on roaming through google maps to find the right place then we will schedule a time to record. We also plan to include an original piano piece. To record said piece I have to bring my keyboard and we do not know where to meet up to make it. Also it is harder to know that I cannot bring the keyboard wherever. I plan to just bring it a day I happen to hangout with them.

Peer Reviews of First Cut Movie Opener

    In the film opening, the technical element I found most enjoyable was the sound.

The scene in which the protagonist is on the computer, instead of the camera going around her, it would be better as an over the shoulder shot. I do believe that this is an opening. It properly introduces two characters without the need of background information. You are able to figure out what is ...

Evaluation of Peer Reviews

Peer Review 1: "The technical element I really liked in the opening is the drone shot that they did. It was really well done and added to the cliffhanger that was necessary to be a continuation clip. Another element of the clip I liked was the closeups of the piano, especially the shot where the piano is being opened.  There was no sound in the video, this took away from the first 40 seconds. Especially since it seems like they are focusing on the playing of the piano within that. Another element is that some shots seem to hold a few seconds too long. This can be seen with the shot at 53 seconds, it seems to hold for about two seconds then it needed to. This did look like a movie opener. This was because of the cliffhanger it was left on. Though with how sudden it was maybe it can be seen as a clip found more later in a film, overall it is a good opener. There were a few things that made me confused in the short. Most important was what was the significant of the first 40 seconds....
