Today I walked into class, expecting to have a regular day of working on our projects, blogs, and meeting with our teacher, but was instead pleasantly surprised to see that we had been classified into different (random) groups within our class. As our teacher explained what we were to do, she told us to get into our groups and discuss our projects with one another- using a form of peer reviewing to get more opinions on our project, and get helpful input for what we should be doing.
For context this was my group: (that's me on the top right!)
We first went around the group, and had every person discuss their ideas for their portfolio, walking step by step through the shots, scenes and ideas. We took notes on everyone's ideas, and slowly went back around, giving everyone feedback on what we liked and what we thought could've been improved in order to bring the projects to the next level.
My groupmates told me that they felt my project was too much of a movie scene, and not truly an opening, and gave me tips on how to make it more of an opening to ensure not too much of the film was developed within the 2 minute timeframe we are given. They told me to include more closeups of the setting around my main characters with the credits rolling, in order to give it a more typical opening feel.
I genuinely felt as though this meeting helped me a lot, as it gave me an outside perspective from people who weren't directly involved in my project, and the constructive criticism will help me to bring my project to the next level, and ensure I get the best grade possible.
