Peer assesment of our film

We had our media class fill in ‘peer assessment sheets’ which included different aspects of the film and asked them to put a mark out of 10 to show how good each aspect of our film was (1 being poor, 10 being excellent). On the parts of our film people thought needed improving they put comments on how they thought we could improve it.
For ‘holding the camera steady’ all 18 of the people put 7/10 or above. We concluded from this that we did not need to improve our camera holding abilities.
For the framing of shots, all 18 of the people put 6/10 or above. This was not too bad, but showed us that it could still be slightly improved in places, however, no one commented on any shots that needed improving.
For ‘using a variety of shot distances’, all 18 people put 8/10 or above. This showed us that we used a good variety of distances in our film and that this reflected well to the audience.
For ‘shooting material that is appropriate to an opening of a thriller’ all 18 of the people put 7/10 or above which sowed us that we used thriller signifiers well.
For ‘editing is clear so the narrative is readable’ all 18 people put 7/10 or above. From this I an say that this is an area of the film I would like to be improved.
For ‘using a variety of shot transitions and other effects appropriately’ 17 of the people put 8/10 or above, and 1 person put 5/10. However the one person that gave us a low mark wrote as a comment that the transitions were too “dark” for their liking; we chose to ignore this as we had aimed to have a dark styled film.
For ‘using sound with images and editing sound effectively’ all 18 people put 9/10 or above. I was very pleased with this result and think that the music was effective in helping create the sinister/threatening/modern atmosphere to the film; 6 people commented on how they liked the music and that it was used effectively with the credits.
Finally, for ‘using titles effectively’ all 18 put 9/10 or more. Again, I was very pleased with these results and think that they were effective at giving our film a modern feel to it. Several people didn’t comment on the credits, but 9 people wrote that they “loved” “liked” and “adored” the credits and that they “looked great”.
