This film opening was seen with 4 teenagers going on some type of game and driving and drifting around and they opened the car to find something not very pleasing, overall was pretty good and displayed the car very well. What i really enjoyed was the camera movements following the car it added dramedy and exhilaration. What could have been portrayed better was the reason they were driving and having fun and the sound track/background music. The ending was really abrupt and didn't really showcase anything in the story which was a bit confusing. Overall it was amazing visuals and sound track and the camera movements were pretty good as well.

It starts have showing comparison between what her mother was telling and what she actually wanted to do. I really liked the cuts between her mother talking and her doing what she wanted. The lighting was pretty good with natural lighting and all. The film wasn't portrayed very well and I couldn't really understand the motive of the movie overall. It was pretty well seen but I couldn't see what the film was really trying to tell us.



The structure was pretty well and the lighting and the coloring and mise en scene were all amazingly drawn and you could really feel the ominous feeling. One thing was that the video was a bit prolonged and showed a lot of the same things being done and made it a bit boring and tiresome seeing the same thing over and over again. My takeaway is the camera shots, lighting, and coloring were all 10/10 but the storyline was a bit lacking, and I wasn't able to really understand the reasoning behind it all. 


There was no sound in the beginning and then there was sound effects it was very lacking and not very understood. Has a very long opening during the middle which could lose the audience's attention. I couldn't really tell what the motive really was. Overall, the only good things I noticed was some of the camera angles and the editing which weren't terrible but other than that it was truly lacking.

The opening was very well portrayed and hooked and grabbed the audience's attention very well. The lighting, the soundtrack, and camera movements were all amazing they are shown so well. The only part that struck me and I didn't really understand was the ending and the stare down, you can't really get context on who the guy is honestly. There should've been some type of dialogue to showcase what their relationship was and why he was there.




I'm not really sure why she chose to really run away and was a bit quick but also rather slow. The over the shoulder shots were pretty good and the storyline itself was pretty telling as well. Overall, the story itself wasn't bad at all but it was presented I couldn't tell what was happening.

Editing 1 For the titles and fonts, we chose a simple, clean font that looked serious and emotional instead of dramatic, and we kept the colors neutral to match the tone. For video effects, we adjusted the brightness and contrast to make certain scenes slightly darker and more realistic, and we did light color correction to keep everything consistent. We mainly used slow fade and cross dissolve transitions so the scenes flowed smoothly. For audio we added soft background music lowered background noise. Some problems we encountered were uneven lighting, awkward cuts, and distracting background noise, but we fixed them by trimming clips more carefully, recording scenes again, and adjusting camera levels. It's taking a bit of time editing everyone helped brainstorm ideas while I mainly handled cutting clips and adding effects. We also did a small amount of additional filming to improve one scene that didn’t look natural the first time.

  GUSTAVO'S CAMERA SHOT'S During the Point of view shot it felt quite dramatic and kinda scary like something that comes from a thriller, it felt like we were in a stalkers point of view. I really liked it because it felt real, it felt as though i were in the picture and i was the one looking at her through those books.    In this Two shot photo of them i didn't feel much of anything, what i did observe is that they are studying for some type of work that needs to get done. There isn't much else i can say aside from the camera isn't blurry and its quite nice. This is Gustavo's blog #2 of his shot's, the high angle shot of Yaidelis and the point of view shot where Yaidelis was seen through the books. The emotions i felt when i saw the high angle it made me feel very emersed in the book she was reading and how focused she was during that moment in time.  https://mediastudiesgustavom.blogspot.com/2025/08/camera-shotsangles.html  YAIDELIS'S CAMERA SHOT'S...
