Final Task: Peer Editting


 Today we had a special requirement to help improve our films. We were told to give our final products do a different group. The people in this group would watch and them give helpful critiques. They told us some of our flaws, and things we can improve on. They enjoyed our film overall, but gave same good suggestions in ways to improve. One suggestion was to have less cuts and film longer scenes. When originally filming, I thought of this, but it was hard to obtain. Since there is now another group suggesting this, we will work on this and fix it. Another suggestion they had was to not glance at the camera. Occasionally me and the others in the group would look at the camera at the end of the scene. We did not realize this and this helped us open our eyes. Not only were there bad critiques, but some good as well. Some good critiques included our actions. While filming we worried our acting was too stiff and didn't bring out the story. Luckily from others point of view it was not bad. Additionally, they enjoyed our camera angles and fast paced film. Our idea of the film was to make it seem like the actors or being watched and it showed. This made us extremely happy to know that we completed our goal just like we wanted to.

1. After a career threatening injury, the former athletics superstar battles his emotions. 2. A man finds something mysterious in the woods, what it is may haunt him forever. 3. She doesn't like her moms new boyfriend, but what she doesn't know is much more horrifying then she can anticipate. We decidied to go with the first option. My group and I all admire athletes and have heard many terrible stories. We want to portray and show the true struggle with substance abuse. Showing that it is not an easy battle  but it is winnable. I believe we can make a great 5 minute film out of this.

CR:Final Film

The short film "One Last Drive" tells the story of a high school football player named Trevor (RJ) who suffers a devastating injury during training. The film explores the impact of the injury on Trevor's mental health, as well as the broader issue of mental health in the context of sports and athletes.
