Peer assessment of our film

Within this footage, our peers gave us feedback of what they thought was a good element of our film and also what one thing they would change.
We had a lot of positive feedback saying how we used a wide range of shots but the common feature that came up was the fact how we needed to stabilize the footage so that it was not shaky.

Some strengths which we received were:

• It was easily identified as a romantic film due to the looks over the shoulder.
• Camera work was very professional as there wasn't much jump cutting.
• The use of the cut when walking upstairs was good.
• Following the protagonist so the audience felt like they were there with her.
• The setting suited the film.
• The use of match-on-action was good. 
• The way we introduced the female character made it seem like she was lonely showing that the audience can relate when starting a new school.

Some areas which needed improving were:

• A conversation so that the audience can clearly see the protagonist.
• If we used a tripod to stop the shakiness of the footage.
• Used more close ups and establishing shots.
• The background noise was very loud so it was very difficult to hear the conversations.

These are all points which can be improved next year as it will mean that we know what the weaknesses of this particular film were when it comes to what we are making next year.
