Juno Peer Analysis

Peer analysis of Juno.

Group	How was the use of camera shots?	Use of editing?	Use of lighting?	Overall success of video
Dom and Lara	They used long shots, to show the actor and the whole surrounding, the used close ups such as close ups of the shoe to show that the shoe has some importance. They used medium shots to focus the audience on a certain point They panned up to draw the audience eyes to a certain focal point. They used track shots to keep the camera still while the actor is moving. And they ended the shot by panning down to the ground to represent it has finished	They used an effect that makes the image look cartoon and animated and is probably as close to the original as possible. They used transitions like the original where the picture slides from left to right.	They just used daylight for there opening sequence as this is what was used for the original and the task was to make it look as close to the original as possible.	The overall success of the video was very good as they got all the camera shots mainly the same as the original and the way that they made it look animated they best they could was very good and made it look professional. The overall editing was good and most of the transitions were in that needed to be. Although the first scene was a bit shaky and a track shot may have been needed to be used to make it look as good as possible.
George, Sarah and Kaitlyn.	They used all the shots that were in the original of Juno to quite a lot of accuracy.  They used long shots, to show the actor and the whole surrounding, the used close ups such as close ups of the shoe to show that the shoe has some importance. They used medium shots to focus the audience on a certain point They panned up to draw the audience eyes to a certain focal point. You can tell that they used track shots as the camera is extremely still for each shot, although at some points the camera should of been moving with the actor instead of being dead still. They used zoom to draw the audience attention to different points, like the original.	They used an effect that made the image look animated. They also used transitions although some of the transitions were over exaggerated and weren’t accurate to the original, they were meant to be just simple sliding from left to right instead of spiralling out.	The shot their film in daylight as this is what the original done.	The overall success of the video was very good although some of the camera shots were inaccurate and needed to be moving instead of still shots, the track shots and the editing that was used made it look very professional. The transitions also weren’t correct in some places, but other places were spot on. They may have been used to fill the time out when they were not needed as the shots were a bit short compared to the original but other than that it was almost perfect.
James B and Megan.	They made their Juno opening scene look as close to the original by using the same camera shots. They used long shots, to show the actor and the whole surrounding, the used close ups such as close ups of the shoe to show that the shoe has some importance. They used medium shots to focus the audience on a certain point They panned up to draw the audience eyes to a certain focal point. They also attempted using a high angle shot which is used in the opening sequence to try and create the same effect. There shots were mainly the same length as the Juno shots so it looked very accurate.	The editing that they used was transitions they got the transitions right by using the slide transition which slides the picture from one to the other which is used in the original of Juno. Although they did not use any effects that made it look even slightly animated.	Their film was shot in daylight, and has different patches of being really light to quite dark forms of daylight. This gave quite a good effect although is not like the original. But the lighting was something mainly out of their control.	The overall success of the video was good. The camera shots used were almost identical to the original although some were a bit shaky so a track shot would have been needed to of been used. The shots were at the same length to Juno so this was good. Although the editing could have been better, they should of played around with the effects a bit more just to try and find one that even slightly resembled the effect used in the original scene of Juno. This would of made it look more professional and more accurate.
Emma and James C	They used lots of different camera shots. They were all the same as the Juno opening. They used long shots, to show the actor and the whole surrounding, the used close ups such as close ups of the shoe to show that the shoe has some importance. They used medium shots to focus the audience on a certain point They panned up to draw the audience eyes to a certain focal point. Their camera was very steady so they used track shots, which gives a very professional effect. They also used a high angle shot which is used in the original, which gave a very good effect and made it look as similar to the opening sequence of Juno as possible.	They edited the beginning bit to be a lot brighter. In my opinion it looks too bright. They didn’t use any transitions which is quite a main part of the original, and they also didn’t put any effect on the video that would of made it look animated.	The lighting varies throughout the opening, at the beginning it is extremely bright, and in the middle it is very dark to the point where you can hardly see the actors face and at the end it is very bright again.	There opening sequence was fairly good. The camera shots and the length of them was accurate. Although the rest of it wasn’t as accurate as it could have been. There was no transitions used, and no animation. This would of made it look more professional and more like the original. Also the lighting should off been all the same, instead of going from light to dark. This would of also made it better and more accurate.
