The group I peer-reviewed was Leila and Hannah, group number 14. The film itself was only 39 seconds but the filming was not yet completed. A few notes were made based off the film that the group already had. For one, they have yet to reach the 2 minute maximum time. The premise of the movie seemed to be a spy-like film from what I can tell so far. The overall lighting was good as well, just a note to add a darker light in the "spy room" to appear more mysterious. The sound was also pretty decent as well, however the dialogue needs to be adjusted so it can be heard clearer. The sound choice was fitting and sounded clear. Even more so, the group did well to not show any tripods or cameras or anyone else filming.
One thing I really liked about the film was the opening scene. The establishing shot was very clear and lighting was nice. The camera was not shaky at all. The transition was very clean as well from the establishing shot to the front door. What I liked from this scene was the way the camera "entered" the home. The camera was as if someone was entering, like almost a POV. It went into a black screen to nicely transition into the following scene.
One suggestion I would make to the film is to adjust the sound and some of the lighting. The lighting was nice but the spy scene could be darker. Also, dialogue needs to be clearer. Even more so, the actors should not look like they are being filmed right away. The filming should look like they were caught in the middle of doing the act, rather than waiting for the camera to roll. This would help the acting not look so "staged".
