What we need to fix

  In our AICE Media Studies class, we have had our film peer reviewed and are ready to start the next step, which is to reshoot and re-edit. The peer review gave us lots of insight on what we could do better in our film. For starters, in the peer review, it was mentioned and suggested that we clean up the story a bit. The reviewers pointed out that there were several plot holes in the story. This included character motivations and explanations as to how a character was in a certain scene at one point. We took this into consideration and realized the only way we could fix this is if we did a reshoot. We would use the reshoot to replace the old scenes that don’t make sense with new ones that do make sense. This would allow the film to have a better overall story. We also had a problem with lighting in one of the last shots of the film. This was not our fault because the lights in the park we were filming in shut off randomly in the middle of one of our takes. This was not very convenient for us, so the last three shots in the film are very dark and hard to see. So we’d need to reshoot those parts when there’s actually lights on. We also need to do some more editing. We need to add in some sounds, like for example, we need to add a thud noise in one scene. We also want to add some music to it as well to try and set the mood of the film better. We also want to edit in our titles. We know that they were supposed to be in the film in time for the peer review, however it just didn’t work out. This was mostly due to the fact that we filmed the Saturday before it was due. It was our fault for sure, but at least we could still add the titles. When we finished doing all of that, I believe our film will be really good and up to par with what Cambridge expects. I have a good feeling about our final product.
