Group Critiques

Today in class we held group critique sessions, similar to the critiques we engaged in during the planning of our projects.

With new groups and fresh minds we all presented the content and ideas we had, which mostly drew discourse and suggestions.

When I presented my group's ideas and current state we generally received positive reinforcement on our ideas and current content, with the exception of our scheduling. The group was concerned about the time we had to edit and film, they suggested we overshoot the days that we will be filming as we may not have too much time to reshoot and edit.

Overall I provided suggestions and constructive criticism for the other group's projects, from advice on costume design, mice-en-scene, dilemmas, acting, and storyboard development.

The process of the group critiques is quite beneficial as all parties benefit with the reinforcement of the positive aspects of one's project, while receiving advice from people who have never seen the project before.

Ultimately, our group will hold a meeting before our film dates so we can organize ourselves based on the suggestions given by the groups and find the similarities and discrepancies identified.
