Aspect ratio is the ratio between the width and height of the image. On the other hand, resolution is the overall amount of pixels being used to create the image or the number of pixels used to display the image. Throughout this film there were a lot of successes, however, there are also a lot of recommendations I would have for anyone doing this sort of a film in the future. One of the things that was done well in the film was the lighting when the main character is working late at the office. Another thing that I thought was done well was the bokeh effect when he is in the dark room. This was accomplished by using Christmas lights that were hung from the ceiling. The last thing that I thought was a success was the use of the watercolor dripping down into the water. I thought this added an interesting change of pace throughout the film because it had its own tempo that it kept relatively well during the entire film. Now there are a few things that could be done be...

Birds Eye View Close up shot Long shot Medium shot Over the Shoulder shot Throughout this project I had to overcome multiple challenges, one of those was the rice. The rice on the sushi was very challenging because I decided to use a particle system. This created complications because the particle system wasn't colliding with the sushi wrap so it would stick out of the sushi. Another challenge with the rice was it wasn't spreading out evenly so I had to tamper with the randomize settings and cluster settings to make it more realistic. Most everything else in the shot was pretty straight forward and didn't take long at all to create.

I feel like I did best on the pacing of the film even though the actual takes were very long. I also thought that the music went with the intensity and pacing of the film. My classmates thought that the slow mo tilt up shot where the phone thief jumped over the girl tying her shoe. They also thought that the acting performance was believable. I feel like the obstacles during the rising action needed to be made more prominent. Our strengths were: acting, pacing, camera angles/movements, and audio. Our weaknesses were: lighting, white balance, and costumes. I need to focus on making more prominent obstacles and improve my strengths by adjusting the audio according to the action and using camera angles to add emotion to the film.

The Mediator in Metropolis is Freder, but he actually stands for the "heart". In Metropolis there are two basic forms of people. There are the "hands" who are the workers/labor force that keep Metropolis running. They are basically slaves to the machines that are used to run the city. The second form of people in Metropolis are the "heads". These are the people that are the ones in charge. They live in the upper section of the city and spectate the workers to make sure they are still doing there jobs. These people are also often very wealthy and have lots of leisure time to enjoy partying and socializing. The heart is the one who bridges the gap between the hands and the heads. The heart understands that it is important for the workers and the bosses to be on the same level. Without the heart/the mediator balance between the head and hands there will never be peace because one feels superior and one feels inferior. I believe that Fritz Lang is advocating...

Camera movements are mainly used to change or enhance the emotional direction of the film. For example, a slow dolly out makes the character seem emotionally lost and abandoned. Camera angles can be used to force the audience to focus on a specific action. They are also used to portray principals of design which in turn add to the audience's emotions. A few things I thought were done well was the pacing. The quick shots allowed for a faster pace which made the chase seem more critical and intense. Another thing I thought was done well was the use of principals of design. Certain principals of design that were included greatly contributed to the overarching plot and goal of the chase. Those are some of the things that I thought were done well in this chase scene. On the contrary, I thought that the costumes of the actors changing made the film slightly confusing. Another thing was the speed of the actors running had to be sped up to the point where it almost took away from the a...
