peer review blog

 today, Emanas and I had a peer review. a peer review is a review among our peers' films. the peer we reviewed was Denise. her film was amazing. it was about a twin sister that was separated at birth getting revenge on her family. her transition felt very clean. she had all her beginning titles. her lighting was spot on. due to the lighting, i could tell that she filmed it with an iPhone 11. However, her sound quality wasn't up to par with her lighting. she did a great job handling her phone . i didn't see any tripod or anything out of the ordinary. her film wasn't the correct length though. there was a requirement of at least a 1:50-2:00 long film. she had most of the shots except for long shot, over the shoulder shot, pan view, tilt, or shot reverse shot. one thing i liked about the film is that the girl played different roles in the film. that takes lots of time and hard work to do that so i give her props. she is also the only person in the group. the only thing she needs to fix is sound quality. overall, she made a good film.

The title of this movie is the conjuring. This was a very popular horror film. Here were a few common camera and angles in this film. First the high angle is used to show someone over someone else to show that there is a different level of authority between the characters. Next they give the Over the shoulder shot to make you feel like you are in the characters shoes and never know what will happen next.Lastly, closeups might be the most commonly used angle because it helps show the emotion all over the characters face. Costumes in the film are usually dreary and blood all over peoples bodies.Dark lighting is used to to show that is a very scary film. In this film actors really have to sell themselves to the audience by being anxious. The makeup goes back to the blood and scary things to frighten the audience.
