Open Post to Peer Reviewers (Fine Cut Actually)

This is actually my fine cut because my life is a mess right now but just go with it

Key information: Not much, only that if the video quality isn't as high as it could be there was literally nothing I could do, I had my laptop camera and iMovie to work with. But I think it's not terrible quality, I mean you can pretty clearly see what I'm doing so it should be fine

Issues or weaknesses: None really, seeing as this is my fine cut. I'm a little worried content wise, but honestly I'm always worried. I'm not worried for any particular reason other than I really want to do well.

Strengths: I think the editing is pretty good! I went back and reenacted moments from the projects as they pertained to my time management, learning new technology, and my writing process and edited them in a concise yet detailed (ha) manner. I think that part is pretty money.


Without further ado, Fine Cut

Peer Review of James Fusaro

LAST PEER REVIEW EVER AHHHHHH *smashes flower pot with a broomstick*


  • James Fusaro- English 109H Project 4 Draft
  • I'm making a recommendation about form!
  • I think I helped because while he uses form well, there are lots more things he could do with it so I'm suggesting that instead of making it purely him talking at a screen, he could keep the audio from that and recreate visuals of his struggles and successes which is what I'm doing. Also, he could have a script so the tone isn't so casual. Casual is good, but it's more of a storytelling at this point. 
  • I think my suggestion from student's guide comes from evidence- it's more unconventional but personal experience is totally evidence, which I made use of in my last project and this one. He should show himself walking through these steps and learning, failing, and then succeeding. It would add a lot. 
  • Like James said, I think he covered the content really well. If I can do that with his content success and my visual ideas, I'll be doing great. 

Editorial Report 15b

More things changed, let's talk about them!

1. Content only changed a little, there were some places that I didn't like my word choice so I edited that just a tad. Nothing special.

2. Form did a complete 180 because I actually recorded this yay! I sat down, put on some clothing that doesn't look like I'm about to get on an airplane and did my talking portion of the video. Of course this was the easy part, but at least I got it out of the way...24 hours before the due date. I can do this.

And once again, I'd like to apologize if the video quality isn't super sharp, I only have my laptop (and my phone, which I tried- it's worse) so I'm trying to edit it but further than that I can't do anything about it.

Also, it says the video is still being processed because I literally just now uploaded it. So hopefully I don't get any peer reviews in like the next 30 seconds
