metropolis analysis

Metropolis Final Analysis:

• Fritz Lang (opening credits)
• wanted to make a film that would make an impression on the American market (googled it)
• He (Fritz Lang), wanted to make the biggest film of that time period. (googled it)
• this film was made for a large audience of people, it addresses the audience by keeping them entertained with the urban/modern aspects and setting of the film and interesting camera movement and angles. (googled) 
• this film was made in a higher society setting and environment due to its large intricate sets, costumes etc... (the film)
• German expressionist (class work) 
• Star Wars C3PO is very similar to the robot figure in metropolis (imdb)

I felt that this project was done pretty well and up to standards as our first "real" film for this class.I felt that rule of thirds and camera angles were used in every shot as it was required. Thing that could have been better were the quality of the shots and we should have planned our story board out a bit better. For our next project i plan to have sound to go with the video and to plan out our shots better. Overall I am very happy with the way this turned out.
