Peer Reviews

 Peer Review: 

What specific elements of the film opening did you like?	Was there anything that left you confused? (be specific)	What suggestions do you have for changes?
i like the idea of the person in the mirror	I was confused as how the story ended	Use landscape, and add more to the plot
I liked that it was in black and white. It gave the opener a mysterious and old-timey vibe. Additionally, the way Chloe portrayed a different version of herself in the mirror was really cool and a interesting editing technique. It was also interesting that it was filmed with the front facing camera, it was a new approach that Chloe executed well.	The genre and the plot was a little confusing. I want sure what was really going on other than the character taking off her makeup and then suddenly an evil version of herself appears in the mirror. The opener was also really short, which didn't leave to much room for interpretation of what was going on.	I would suggest some music or sound effects to give context clues as to what was going on. If the theme or genre was sad maybe sorrowing music to go with the black and white theme, and if was thriller or mystery some mysterious sound effects to clue what the theme was. Additionally, I would suggest making the video longer, again so we can get a better feel for what was going on.
the water running had a nice sound effect. It was also a cool concept.	there was no dialogue so just maybe what exactly was in the mirror. A devil? her imagination?	make it longer and explain more
The black and white cinematic and the concept.	I was confused at first after the transition where she looks at the mirror with another expression/personality because I didn't notice her wiping down her face on the other side at first.	Adding some sort of music or dialect.
I enjoyed the diegetic sound at the beginning with the faucet running. It gave a taste of mystery and eeriness which brought out the horror genre that the film would presume. There was good editing with the character in the mirror starting at the other character wiping something off their face. This builds upon the simultaneity and suspense of the opener which was clever. Moreover, the low key lightning also added to the horror theme of the film.	It was a bit hard to see where the opener was going to expand into. However, I did notice that this wasn't the full film opener and it has a nice concept to build upon.	Some suggestions would be to include a title sequence either at the beginning or where the film ended. Also adding some type of eerie background music at least maybe when the other character appears at the mirror would be a good idea.
I liked the concept of the opener, the main character looking away from the mirror and then something appearing within the mirror.	I'm confused about what is in the mirror, is it a ghost or a reflection of the main character's mental state.	Show what the thing in the mirror is, or hint that its something, whether its a ghost or some figment of the imagination.
I really like the black and white color in the film, for I feel like it really matched the genre of the film. Additionally, the editing done and reflection on the mirror was done extremely well!	No, I understand what you had in your film so far and I would be happy to review it once it it complete!	As of right now I don't have any real suggestion, for I think your draft is good and just needs to be completed. If I had to make a suggestion I would just say maybe add some dialogue between the character in the mirror and the person in real life.
I liked the black and white lighting and the lack of music made me think that something important was going to happen	I didn't really know what the plot was as there wasn't any actual main idea to it	I would say add scenes that get an idea across so the film actually has a plot as well as add some music and titles those are also really good things to add so the viewers get some type of idea on what it's going to be about
I like how she edited the clip with the mirror look of two different versions of same person.	Nothing left me confused.	No really specific changes but maybe you could show a clip of walking in the bathroom.

 

Summary: From reading the peer reviews, I realize that I should add more to my clip, such as sound or props, to make the plot more understandable. I also must complete my editing properly and refilm because I had errors in my camera angle and the direction I was supposed to be Filming in. Everything is easily fixable, however, I will have to refilm it completely to fix it, which is not an issue at all. I am excited to complete my final product with the ideas that were suggested by my peers!
