As the volume levels are different there are adjustments that can be able to enhance the way it sounds. The thing that can be fixed is the amount of electricity coming in. This is done by changing the dBs coming in and it changes the volume. By doing this, the volume can be matched and all the tracks sound the same when it come to volume. One thing that cannot be fixed is the quality of the actual recording. If one track is recorded with more "noise" there isn't really much that can be done to make it as crisp as a track that sound much better. The optimal level record is right in the middle of the dBs so that it there isn't much background noise but there you can still hear it in good clarity.

Critique Reflection Blog post- Montage

This is critique reflection of the Montage film that my group and I created. To begin, there were curtain comments my film received from classmates. One really good thing that stood out a lot was Monish's acting. his acting seemed realistic and genuine. The fact that he wore the same outfit during the shots was also brought up as a good thing. I thing that I feel i personally did best in my film was appropriately cutting each shot. I think that the general 1-3 seconds that I worked with gave the film a very natural feel. One area that I need to improve on was possibly the incorporation of sound into the film. If I were to put background music into the film, it would be much more natural of a film to watch. During the editing process, my group mates suggested that I improve in the area of special effects which I can agree with since using more effects make the film stand out more and adds creativity and color. Finally, form the films I have created I have observed certain strengths and weaknesses that I have as a filmmaker. I believe that a major strength I have is acting. I believe my acting to seem natural and realistic. Also editing wise One of my strengths is timing. A Weakness I have is definitely in the area of being creative in editing a film. I could improve in doing things like adding cool special effects, or cool background music that suites the film well. A strength I have that could use even more improvement would be in the area of operating a camera. Overall I am very good at shooting strong shots but sometimes get confused when setting the camera up.

Symbolism in Hitchcock's Rear Window - Light and Darkness

The panning shot was by far the most used shot type throughout the film "Rear Window" This is a very effective way to show the plot and almost the whole movie considering what it's about. The whole movie was mainly about a guy watching his neighbors through a lens. This caused his point of view to be "panning around"  and the creators of the movie did a great job at just implementing the same first person view of the whole situation by using the same panning shot.

In the embedded video, the creator analyzed the film even deeper and found a great amount of symbolism within it which again help enhance the film as a whole. one point that the creator of the youtuber states is that lighting is used in a very natural kind of way making the watching experience more involving. this make the viewer feel like he is in the film which is good considering the movie is a thriller. The Youtuber also makes a point saying the light represent knowledge in the film. When it is dark the characters are in a state of unknowing what exactly is going on and when there's daylight they clearly see every move for the most part. The darkness also symbolizes hatred and negativity that the main characters are feeling.

As seen in this film, Camera angles and movements can have an impact on the viewer's feelings.
for example, in this film an extreme close up was used to make the viewer almost relate to the the negative emotion of the "actor".
This time around, were very successful when it came to actually recording the film and we did it quickly with ease. something i personally struggled with was timing the clips properly so that the films could look smooth.
