Peer Review Blog

          While reviewing this film there were many aspects of it that I enjoyed. Overall, the film did a great job of establishing and making sure the audience could clearly identify the genre. Additionally, they created a sense of mystery at the end to allow the audience to want to know what comes next. The aspect that I enjoyed the most about the film was the scary creature shown throughout the scenes. This creature not only looked so realistic, but it also added great value to the mystery and horror. At the beginning of this film, the creature is shown lurking around the house. As the scenes go on this creature starts to become more noticeable. For example, you can see the creature lurking in the back of a scene with the main character brushing his hair. As the scenes go on, the audience begins to form ideas of what this creature could be. This was an excellent technique to keep the audience wanting to know what will comes next and what exact significance this creature has.
          While reviewing the film, there was one main aspect that I felt needed to be adjusted. This would be the lighting. In most of the scenes, it was very difficult to see what was going on. Even though the darkness was intended to create a horrific effect it was very difficult to comprehend what was happening in each scene. Adding a slight amount of light would allow the audience to get a better visual. This would also give us a better understanding of what is going on like it for less confusion. For example, a flashlight or lamp could be used. Additionally, scenes could be shot in a room with little natural light coming in. A closet or bathroom is a great room to film in as they usually don't have much light coming in. Using these techniques would allow for better visualization, while still creating a horror effect.
