This
blog post will contain information regarding a peer review that I preformed (in
my section). I will examine genre conventions from the student’s fine cut.
1. I peer reviewed Gabby Dietrich’s “Revised
Post to Peer Reviewers” (i.e. the final cut).
2. For this peer review, I decided to make a
re-design recommendation. This involved analyzing how should change/improve her
genre conventions.
3. There are a few suggestions that I made
to Gabby in order to help improve her work. I suggested changing one of the
genre conventions that she employed in her video essay. She used dozens of
images. While this is indeed quite visual, it seemed more like a podcast with
images than it did a video essay. So, I suggested incorporating video clips
into her project. I think that would help her audience visual the issue at
hand. I also suggesting eliminating a quote that scrolled like Star War’s
introductions do. I believe this took away from the over all seriousness of the
essay (as the viewer would associate Star Wars with the video essay).
4. As from the Student’s Guide, my suggestion of incorporating video clips into
Gabby’s essay is in line with the conventions described on page 235. This page
describes multiple conventions of a video essay. One of these was the input of
movie (i.e. video) into the video essay.
5. One this that I admired about her work
was how well the auditory portion of the video essay flowed. Gabby spoke at a
consistent pace and pronounced all words clearly. This has inspired me to plan
out the auditory section of my video essay (almost entirely) in order to insure
fluency.
