Peer Review

 Hi everyone! I finally finished editing my movie. I am thrilled with how it came out. I am in love with the title designs. It was kind of difficult to download the footage. That process alone took me half an hour. Then having to upload the media into cap cut to edit was also extremely annoying. I had to do each clip one by one. After came the cutting. I had to snip and edit each of the clips to get the video down to two minutes. Sean sent me the song selection we had gone with. It was called 'Logical Song' by the Supertramps. It was a pop song from the '80s. I was surprised by how well the song fits our film. I used a YouTube to MP3 converter to download the audio file. I added it to the track. Lastly came the title designs. I found a template and played around with the settings until it was just right.  Just to make sure everything came out well I needed it to be reviewed by one of my peers. And who better to do it than my best friend Marvin.

His Notes:

- Overall, it was really good.

- He feels that the genre doesn't quite match the movie.

- Lighting matched the genre.

- The shots were perfect for the scenes.

- The ending shot was extremely cool. He loved how Sean ran up and did the zoom in shot. 

- He felt that the song suited the introduction of the film. It's pace matched the storyline of Jack waking up.

This is a common thing used in thrillers as it shows important events in the storyline and increases thrill or suspense. Next in this film, they incorporated the sound of the intruders scheming to break in and rummaging through things. A tracking shot is used to show the women going to her window to see what the sound was. Once she hears more, they used a close-up to see her peaking through the window once again. Multiple times midway through this film the camera cuts from the women on the phone with 911 to her baby crying. This is commonly used in thrillers to show multiple things going on. It also creates lots of activity. A lot of over the shoulder shots are used. It shows the door and the women on the phone and the sounds of banging are heard all the while. Extreme closeups are used to show the womens fear as the intruders are continuing to try the door. Yet another fla...
