Editing After The Peer Review

We have now had several filming and editing sessions under our belts and are getting closer to having a finished product. The teacher assigned us a peer review to try and push ur to do better. I like this as it forces us to consider an outside element. It is very similar to how a Cambridge grader will look at our paper, so their feedback was very helpful in what we needed to do next. We know we need to finish the film, but for what we have done it was not that bad. Our filming was very solid. The reviewer gave us a positive sign on our angles saying they were very fluid. This meant all those times we spent arguing were actually useful. They may have seemed pointless and stupid, but they now have meaning. We questioned each other and pushed each others boundaries and wanted each other to crack to be able to put our clips in the movie.
Our editing was not going as good. Alex, in charge of editing had run into some problems allowing us less time. The camera and Sd card had been left at my house, and Alex had the vision for editing, so I waited to let him do his work. This meant we were going to have less time to edit, and this was made clear by our reviewer. They said our clips were together good, but we have too long of shots, lack proper transitions, and have un needed title screens. This was good to hear though. We all think our movies are good, so hearing negative feedback helps. We couldn't hold grudges here as we all had similar ideas for editing. We also had to switch the font of our title screens and this was a minor disagreement. We settled this easily but we have bigger issues we must move onto, like finishing the video and making sure we hit all our major plot points.
