group 1

concept

8.5/10

-The idea of a future decided for humans in Africa was interesting for me.

I also enjoyed the play on future and nostalgia. i use this with the statement "future" meaning soon to come, and the nostalgia of the crystal ball which have not been used commonly in modern day times. also, i liked how future is just a word that is not physical, but the crystal ball, which is old fashioned, is physical .

The storyboard was also interesting because i saw a lot of familiar techniques like transitions and montages, both techniques i recently learned in school.

presentation

7.9/10

- Well layered out. Shots taken are quite impressive, but a little more effort could have been put in.

group 2

concept

8.5/10

-    I enjoyed the concept of crime used in this presentation. Seeing as how I've been mugged before, i can relate to some of the statements used in this. i loved to see the different quotes used in this project. also the diversity of the cast they chose to star in the project.

-    it intrigued me to see Solomon's statement of being able to walk anywhere because of his male gender role. I feel he said this because of the amounts of Nigerians coming in to South Africa, some of which have become criminals, and seeing as how this is a common stereotype. Some might think that people of their shared race must stick together.

presentation

8.1/10

- A very modern and well pieced presentation. Good source of useable materiel, nice FBI feel to the topic, but some indecisive choices made, for example, the look of presentation was half FBI, but has a serious dark edge hollywood look. i say this based on the directors chair or film reel. but i understand.
