So today was our second interim critique for Bettie Perry, and basically it was a three-hour session with the other students in the video drama cluster group in which everyone showed their final project and received feedback.
When it was time to show our movie the edit wasn’t complete with little things missing or needing to be corrected. In my opinion, this wasnt exactly a disaster because we all knew this. The point of today was just to get an idea of what needed to be altered before Friday’s deadline to make this project even more of a success than it had been already. When it was time for us to receive feedback from the rest of the group, we barely received any comments, and what is more concerning is that we were also the only group that got no feedback from our lecture Steve Dawkins. This is something that can either be a good thing or a bad thing, and this is something we will have to wait and see about judging by our final marks.
In terms of the other students work, I thought Joannes film was by far the most interesting as it had me hooked right from when the film started to when the credits came up at the end. It was such a powerful story that had you gripped and also made you think a bit too. This is something that was missing in most peoples projects. I also quite liked the short film Qubul, because although the storyline was OK, what got my attention was technically how it was shot, which made it feel like a scene from a big-screen movie.
