 Peer review

Hello everyone, and welcome back to Jacquelle's blog. We were told today to read other students' blogs and leave comments on them. Sarah Sanabria's and Desiree Haghgoo's student blogs stuck out to me in particular. 

Sarah Sanabria~ To begin with, despite the lack of conversation, the individual in the video conveys a sense of melancholy as she drops her head and places her palm on her head in the overhead shot. The acting in this video was fantastic because, despite the absence of speech, the actors' actions elicited an emotion in the viewer.  I should also mention that the overall design of the blog is fantastic!

Desiree Haghgoo~ I think she did an excellent job with her videos. What I liked most about her videos was her use of dialogue. For this reason, I think she did a better job than I did. My videos were devoid of conversation, but her use of dialogue helped to create a story. For example, in the Point of View shot, the people in the video glance down and ask, "What is that?" It almost appears as if they are disgusted with me (the viewer).

    I loved seeing all of my colleagues' videos.  It gave me some ideas for improving my videos. I believe that the major thing I need to improve on is including more dialogue in my videos.  Normally in films, dialogue is used to convey a story. There wasn't much of a story being presented in my videos because it lacked dialogue. On future assignments, I will undoubtedly improve on this.
