Peer Review

Click on the orange text to watch the video. Ms D Cambridge Media Studies The specific elements of the film opening that I liked was the darkness and bluntness of the kidnappers along with the masks used. The specific elements of the film opening that I disliked was that I could barely read what was on Wordle. This looked like a movie opener, and I want to know what happens next, whether or not this is a systematic type of kidnapping and who is the next victim and if someone were to beat the game, would they join under the threat of the Nerf or be stalked and brainwashed.

As part of the video, we had to backgrounds of Florida to create a picture of what type of neighborhood was plagued by the robbery and how it might be understandable on how the situation caught everyone off guard. The problems t hat were encountered were with the sound effects and sound in general. Many of the voiceover scene s recor ded were not in sync with other scenes that were shot so Ernest has to make it sound as natural as possible. The current remedy to the obstacle is to edit the sound which comes with a long session of replay ing it until it sounds satisfactory.   Another issue is the time limit as we teeter close to the edge of being under two minutes.
