Editing Blog: Presenting to my Family

In effort to perfect our project, I hosted a showing of our film after dinner at my house to get real feedback from people who I am close with. There was no bias or sugar coating especially since my brother has taken this course and knows what expectation I needed to meet in order to have a good grade on our film. I used a projector to show the movie that I connected to my computer where we had most of our movie done. I created a rubric similar to our peer review rubric that we did in class and asked them to fill it out after I played the movie through twice. Unfortunately, I miscounted when printing and do not have the homemade rubric anymore, however, I will use aa picture of the class rubric instead to show how it was graded. After the first showing I asked specifically what felt choppy right off the bat, most of my family members agreed that the titles needed to come in more smoothly. They also added that the transitions in the first two scenes felt like they didn't match resulting in them being a little confused. I then played the movie the second time through and waited until the end. At the end of the second showing I asked if there was anything new that they felt needed to be changed, my brother added that our sound would be slightly off from the scene which took his attention away from our film. I thanked them for watching and then immediately called my teammates to schedule an editing session to fix the errors. We plan on doing it later on this week as we are busy for the next couple of days.
