Film #2 Peer Reviews

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 liked the use of props in the opener.	No	Have a narrator to explain what is happening instead of having to hear music.
I really liked the way the video flowed and all the different camera angles which were used	Nothing left me confused	I recommend changing the music instead of having the same thing loop the whole time because it made me lose focus. You should also add an intro so your video is long enough
The music was fitting to the playful vibe that the opener gave off. The filming was good and I could understand the what the characters were doing and the role they played. I liked how the scenes were cut as well, and how the characters interacted with each other.	The plot of the opener left me confused. I was not exactly sure what was going on other than there were two characters playing softball and baseball, and then they cut to another character and then signed some papers. I was just confused what took place at the end.	I would suggest maybe a little bit of dialogue to help add to the plot of what is going on. Overall good job though!!
I liked this opening a lot!! I liked all the camera angles - they looked cool! Also the storyline was good!	Nothing major! The baseball/softball shots kinda repeated a bit in the beginning and made me question at first where the plot was gonna go.	Maybe you could include more shots of the school recruiter watching the players play - could make that concept clearer.
I loved the plot, and the title was such a great fir for the ending. I enjoyed the creativity of this. Normally sport films don't show the ending like yours.	N/A	Maybe add batting or swishing sound effects to exaggerate the movements of the bat and ball. I'd also add add maybe a coloring or filter that could make the colors of the film even brighter.
I enjoyed the smooth transitions and music.	Why was there no talking in the entire opener? What are they signing near the end of the video	Have some dialogue, especially during the last part of the video where they're signing stuff.
I really loved the audio it went really well with the idea and plot of the video I also really liked how they pointed at Courtney it gave of a mysterious and unknown mood of her character	what left me confused was what they were really doing	I would suggest to have a conversation and actual audio to get viewers to understand what was going on

 Overall, it seems like most people really liked my movie opener. One thing I did notice was most people had the same suggestions to help improve my groups opener. They all suggested to add in dialogue or conversations instead of just background music the whole time. They said adding no dialogue left them confused with just music and shots of me and Theresa playing baseball and softball. Me and my group will come up with an idea to possibly add dialogue and conversations in our opener to make the plot easier to understand.
