Sooooooooooo, today in class we had a review session with groups where we got together and peer-reviewed each other's projects, but there was one problem. I wasn't there. Unfortunately, I woke up with a terrible case of food poisoning. WHY!!??!?!?!?! ON THE WORST DAY TOO!!!!!! I realize this would've been a great opportunity for me, so instead I decided to take things into my own hands. I sent my current finished idea to a few of my friends who have taken or are currently taking AICE Media Studies, to have my own version of a peer review. So let's go over what my friends said.
First up is my friend and classmate Zach. He allowed me to get unique new ideas for how to open up the film piece. I originally wanted to have it start off with the main character talking to the bell at the reception, but he helped me realize that it was a bit too much, and instead suggested that the main character hints at the bell being a camera, but not outright say it. I plan on implementing this as I think it's a good idea.
The next person is my friend Armesto who is also in my AICE Media class, they said he liked the idea, but their biggest drawback was the fact that the story starts on the first appointment. They argued that it could be a random session from which the main character and the therapist have had many in the past. I like this idea also and I plan on rewriting my script a bit to account for this change. They also argued that I don't have enough personality for the therapist and that they could be a character who is often fed up. I like this idea also and it gives me the idea to utilize dialogue in a very monotone manner for this character, to show this. I feel like I can also display their personality by their actions, for example writing something down after every time the main character speaks.
Last but not least was Arianna. She is one of my TV Production friends and took the class last year. When I showed her my project, she said she really liked it, but the only thing was that it wasn't developed enough. Because of this, I plan on adding more information to my plan before filming so that my production process can go as smoothly as possible.
If any of you have any ideas for me to improve my project, please leave them in the comments below so I can improve.
