Evaluating Peer Reviews

 Summary- From the 9 peer reviews I received most of the key criticisms was the overly loud music at the beginning and end as well as adding more transitions and cuts and using more effects. While I was reading them I would go back and play the video and I had to agree with the loud music I plan to lower the volume.

What specific elements of the film opening did you like?	Was there anything that left you confused? (be specific)	What suggestions do you have for changes?
I like that the plot was very clear	N/A	I suggest that you shorten the jump-roping and boxing clips, I felt that they were a little too long. Maybe add one or two other exercises.
I like the music, it fits well.	no	none
I loved the intensity of the background music from the get-go. This really demonstrated the main character's intensity, and the drama of the upcoming fight.	I wasn't confused, as it was clear that the main character was simply preparing for a fight.	The scenes were a bit long, like the one of the main character jump roping. I found myself questioning if that would last for the entirety of the video. The fact that the main character is training can be demonstrated by shorter clips that last a maximum of 10 seconds. Maybe even adding some dramatic slow motion shots of the gloves being put on or when she is punching the bag would help fill the empty space.
I like the music, it fit with the whole idea of the opener where she is training.	Is she preparing for a boxing match?	There should be more scenes than just the two of her training.
I think they did a great job at picking a song that fits the energy. The beat of the song resembles feet stomping and clapping, like a crowd hyping up a fight. I also like that they actually dressed up in gym clothes and did the workouts throughout, instead of cutting the scenes up to give themselves breaks. It feels like we’re watching someone workout instead of just watching a montage.	However, the scenes felt drawn on with the same repetitive music and action. I always thought a cut was coming up but it never did.	I suggest adding in more angles and cuts to add more interest and energy to the workout scenes. I also suggest trying to find a way to get better angles because it currently feels like a youtube video instead of a movie opening!
I liked the music quite a bit, and the transitions between the workouts.	The title gave context to the rest of the opener, so I personally had no confusion.	The music at the beginning is extremely loud in like the first 2 seconds, balance it out with the volume of the rest and it'll be great.
I liked the music she used for her film	The story she was trying to go for is understandable but, I think she could have went about it a little differently	She should edit the music because it was very loud at the end and beginning. She should also add some dialogue and more clips because she really only had like three clips to her film. She should try making it more interesting or more exciting
What I liked about the film, was the music. The music showed that something big was coming and you clarified it.	What left me confused was fight. What does the fight represent, why are you fighting?	All I would say is to add details about what is the reasoning behind the fight.
