 Rise- Film Opening- the first thing I noticed when watching this video was something I really liked it was when he put on his headphones and the music he was listening to was then the music the audience was listening to. I also liked the fact that he put all his stuff down and it gave a close up of each item in my opinion this created suspense and I felt like something was going to happen. The time when 2 different songs are both playing at the same time is also something I observed. I also personally liked the transition from the soccer ball to the other dude. When he takes his headphones off the music stops and I liked that. At the end of the film I liked the real close ups of each of the actors faces it made me feel like I needed to watch whatever was going to come after. Offline- Observations- I really liked how it started off by typing. This film right off the bat gave a creepy vibe especially with the girl in the cage. I liked how they went between the girl in the cage and t...

  In the five minute clip of agent carter, many aspects of film are used, such as sound, angles and shots, editing, and mise-en-scene.      I watched this clip a total of four times in order to focus on one film aspect each time, on the first time I watched I focused on sound. I noticed that in the first few second post-synchronized dubbing is used. In the first few seconds I heard two characters talking, their conversation played over the famous scene of all the Marvel characters that they use for all its intros. The next thing I noticed sound wise was Diegetic sound this is also shown in the opening scene, precisely, when the alarm goes off at the office and the man answers the phone to listen to the emergency recording. After this I noticed Nondiegetic sound was also added when the businessmen were walking up the stairs. During this scene, I could hear the music but on the other hand the characters couldn’t. Direct sound is when Agent Carter fights off all o...

  As I watched the first 5 minutes of Black Mirror season 3 episode 4 I began to notice things that gave a better idea of the characters. The first scene opens with a night scene of the ocean splashing against the shore with a city behind it. this particular scene gives a calm and serene feeling but the fact that it was nighttime it gave me a feeling of foreshadowing that’s something bad was going to happen. After this opening scene it shows a busy loud street full of people having fun, this gives a mood of happiness, and laid back. This is also the scene where Yorkie is first seen and introduced. The first things I noticed about Yorkie was her outfit, her outfit was light in colors and consisted of a striped shirt that appeared to pastel green as well as khaki shorts. It also shows her face which gives off facial expressions that give the viewers the idea that she is quiet, reserved, and shy. The camera seems to be following along with her from the side, showing the side of her bo...
