  I feel like my group planned out the shots really well as we had enough time to sit down and discuss every single shot we wanted in detail during the storyboarding process itself.  According to my classmates, they seemed to have liked the complexity of the shots, especially the birds-eye shot. They also really like Alex’s killer costume (we liked that too) and also the contrast in the lighting from the beginning to end.  I feel like we could improve on the quality of the shots, learn how to get a much clearer shot in the dark, so that we don’t have a grainy shot whenever the lighting is low.  According to my classmates, maybe the acting could have been a bit more natural and the characters continuity should have stayed.  I think our strengths are that we work together well as a team and are able to thoroughly plan out what we want to do and what we can expect. But I think is out weakness is that different people had different opinions about how a shot should p...

Shutter speed is the amount of time the sensor inside the camera is exposed to light, or the amount of time the shutter of the camera is open.  Shutter speed is measured fractions of a second. The bigger the denominator, the faster the shutter speed.  Shutter speed also effects the exposure, the longer the shutter speed, the more exposure the sensor gets which results in a much brighter picture. The quicker the shutter speed, the darker the picture.  When the shutter speed is slow, the sensor is exposed to light for a long time which results in a motion blur effect. Any object that moves in a slow shutter speed becomes blurred in the direction of motion. Slow shutter speeds also capture more light, which makes the picture bright and colorful.  A faster shutter speed freezes motion instead of blurring it. The fast shutter speed is almost like taking a picture by freezing time because it has the capability to clearly capture an object in motion, especially fast moving ...

In this film I had a wonderful opportunity to work in a group of some people I knew and some I did not. We all got an opportunity to share our skills (and also show off out very bad acting skills).  We were a little behind on filming because we were waiting on our props, but that waiting period also gave us an opportunity to find locations and rehearse so that we are ready to go which gave us the push to later be on the same level as the rest of the class.  Another problem we had was that there were consistent absences and it was ever so rare that the entire group was present.  We would probably change the pace in which we worked at and also plan shots out in a much better way. 

 - After watching the movie Metropolis, from my point of view, I think the son of the city head (also the protagonist) is the mediator in this film, as he is responsible for bringing the rich and the working class together.  - While the movie does have communist themes, it more likely promotes Marxism as well, as this is much more related to the workforce and their injustices and there is also an entire scene where the workers are revolting for their welfare. - Metropolis influenced many future films and filmmakers, such as:     - Star Wars     -   Blade Runner     - The Fifth Element     - Alfred Hitchcock             - Blackmail      Works Cited  https://centmagazine.co.uk/re-vamp-metropolis-1927-continues-to-influence-popular-culture/

 

 - Crane Down: Helps the viewer "fall" into the characters world. It also could help you drop into the scene.  - Crane Up: Gives the view a feeling of how small the character is or how large the obstacle the character has to face is.  - Crane High to Low Angle: Makes the character look strong and gives them a feeling of authority or makes them look overpowering/overwhelming.  - Handheld Camera: Can create a sense of uneasiness or danger.  - Quick Pan: Can the change the emotional direction of the scene. Can be used to reveal something dangerous or something that the character has to overcome. It also sends the audience in a difference emotional direction.  - Quick Push In: Creates a feeling of surprise or shock.  - Slow Dolly In: Can create tension and helps the audience become a bit more intimate with the character in either an uncomfortable way, or in a way where the audience shares the same emotion as the character. - Slow Dolly Out: Can make the ch...
