Robbery - Final Draft What did we change? I added "24 hours earlier..." once the robbery had started because the peer edits revealed to me that people were confused why the shot of the plane was at the beginning of the film and not the end. I changed the background of "An SSKC Film" because the plain black background did not look good enough to me. I added text when Kelsey's identity changed for clarification of what was going on because most people were confused about that part. 

What People Liked: I liked that it was suspenseful and interesting to watch. I like that the story eventually came together. Originally, I was confused about why there was a video of the plane, but the ending where the character went off walking toward a plane connected everything together.  I liked the opening airplane takeoff. It seemed like a valid video to insert the names of actors. I loved the very last transition, where the camera zoomed into Kelsey holding Saoirse's license, then when it zoomed out Saoirse was there. It was smooth, unique, and well done. I like how there was a mix of diegetic and non diegetic sound. I like how they mimicked actual film openings by stating "SSKC Prod" at the beginning and some opening credits with their names. I like how they attempted a plot line. I liked the plane landing. I liked the variety of shots and editing techniques seen.  I really liked how the beginning and end matched up, starting and then ending at the airport...
