Peer Review

For our peer review, we reviewed a horror film. Something I really enjoyed about the group's film was that the storyline was very easy to follow. The transitions were clean and you could clearly tell when scenes were switching. I really liked their filming style and the different angles they chose. Their storyline was clear and you could tell what was happening. For example, in darker scenes, the lighting was hitting the subject and they were still visible. I liked that the storyline was simple enough to follow, but still had room for details. For example, you could figure out what was going to happen but it still left you in suspense. That it could've been played out in multiple ways and the ending wasn't predictable. I liked that suspense was created by the acting and that it followed the storyline.
One suggestion that I made was to have more sound. There was little dialogue that would be suspected from a horror suspenseful film. But there could be more "planning" involved. Another thing would to maybe fade the background music. Like, make it louder it certain parts compared to others and make it die down at the end. Also in the film, a by standard made a noise, maybe make it like a loud crash to really grasp the audience's attention. The nondiegetic and diegetic sound was natural, however. Nothing was out of place or didn't seem like it shouldn't have "sounded like that". The sound was in sync with the film and lined with the effects. The film overall was really good and I enjoyed watching it.
