 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.

  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.
