Peer Review Blog: Why we could not do the Peer Review

In class we were supposed to do peer reviews of another person’s movie. A peer review is when we watch another group’s movie and then give our feedback. This feedback is then taken into consideration by the group. After they get the feedback it is up to them if they want to edit or change anything because of what we said. Unfortunately we could not take part in this process. The reason we could not do this was because the person we were supposed to peer review did not show up. We had two days to peer review the people we were assigned. When the person did not show up the first day we used the time to keep editing our film. We found a working computer and then used the rest of the class period to make some more changes. We cut some scenes shorter and started putting them together.

After we did that, we added some more scenes from the movie folder that we created and kept editing them to get the movie just right. It was then time for the class period to end, so we saved our work and put the computer back. The next time we had class we waited for the person that we were peer reviewing to show up. Once it was obvious the person was not going to show up we continued to edit again. We were taught how to get different titles online and insert them in the editing software that we use. After finding the titles and inserting them into the software, we inserted the titles into the film that we were editing. We then sent some scenes to the computer. These were scenes that we forgot to send the class before. In order to continue editing the film we had to insert the scenes that we sent to fill in the gaps. When we finished adding and editing the scenes we recorded the piece of the edited movie we had from our phones. We did this because the person peer reviewing us did not come to school that day, so we sent the recording to them for them to peer review us.
