Peer Review: What’s Wrong?

-

Hey, Sappies. Welcome back. Today, we decided to send our Final Task to a few friends. This was just to make sure that everything looked a-okay and that our opening sequence was perfect for Cambridge. It actually turned out that this was super helpful, since we got a lot of feedback as to what could make the project better.

We already knew that we were having some difficulties with the voiceover, but we decided to see if it was simply because we were picky or if it noticeable. Turns out that it was. We got feedback on how the audio was almost too crisp up to the point where it sounded kind of off as a voice over. And then people were also telling us about how the speed of my voice was way too fast. I knew that the script was long, but by wanting to keep unnecessary parts, I sounded like I was speaking on 2.0x and ended up being unintelligible. Some people said that the scenes flowed kind of weird and how some clips were either unnecessary, repetitive, or just random as clips that had nothing to do with each preceded one another. Others also said that it was due to the fact that some scenes looked kind of awkward because the character was moving too slow or making a weird face. We of course knew that this was all reliable information, as most of the people reviewing had good projects. Others, simply knew what they were doing. And others, just had a better perspective- being a first time viewer. 

While this was a lot to get done, it was essential. And so, we spent absolutely way too long editing what we needed to. Although that’s for next blog, Sappies. Be ready, or don’t. It’s not long, it just felt like it. Really, it did. See you.

XOXO

     Hey, Sappies, it's Char. And today, I have a little intro for you.            Now, wh ile I am more than sure that you'd love to hear of all the juicy scandals coming your way, let me give you a little background first.      My name is Charlize, but you can call me Char. I'm a Scorpio, but not too into all of that horoscope stuff. I love watching soccer and idolize Messi but, I also play the sport myself, as a right back defender. I'm Peruvian from both part of my parents and love to embrace my culture. While my ambitions are constantly changing, I currently aspire to become a producer or work in some area of film production in a leadership role. My academic success means everything to me, and while I am my biggest supporter, I am also my biggest hater. I love to bake pastries such as cakes, cookies, cinnamon rolls, muffins, pionono (a Peruvain dessert), etc. I also love to read. (Too much.) From romance to thrillers, a good book will keep me glued to my bed all da

 Hey, Sappies. Did you miss me? Well, I'm back. Here to give you the details on this introduction of me and my life, is well, me. Let's just get straight into it. I've chosen five pictures of myself, two videos with me in them, and one song which fits the vibe. The five pictures show a bit of every side of me. The silly, sporty, and fancy side. The videos are me looking cute, since, why would I ever cause a scandal by posting anything hideous of me? And the song is something of my own taste. 4/5 of the pictures are me by myself. One of me kayaking, one of me skating, one of me in Altar'd State and one of me at a restaurant for Valentine's Day dinner. The last picture is of me with my cousin at a restaurant after shopping all day, which captures my personality and hobbies perfectly. I've gone kayaking once, but it's so peaceful and calming. The sound and smell of nature is what makes the experience just perfect. I've been skating ever since I lived in Bro
