Through out the film Rear Window By Alfred Hitchcock you may hear many sounds and voices coming from the different apartments behind James's (the main character) apartment.The sounds are carefully balanced to be realistic. You will hear a balance of music, voices, and sounds that equal out changing the mood.  The mixing of the sound in the film is very sophisticated. Rear Window is the 1st film that actually makes an effort in design of sound.

Examine the comments you received on your film: I was told that I did some cool effects my audio was very well picked out and helped set the mood.
Reflect on what you feel you did best: I feel I did the best on recording a lot of the panning shots and also on the adding cool effects but not over doing it.
Reflect on what your classmates said you did well on: Many of my classmates said that I had really cool effects and that I had cool audio.
Reflect on what your classmates suggested you should improve: I didn't show many oof my classmates the film and to the people I did show no one told me that I needed to work on anything.
Strengths and weakness??:
I would say my biggest strength in film is probably filming. I just love having the camera in my hand and messing with different things, like the colour, the angles, etc. Another one of my biggest strengths is probably adding cool effects/editing. I love messing with everything a seeing things differently. I also just love seeing the story come together.
A huge weakness for me is probably putting the whole film together. Though I always write a story board before I film, its just always a struggle cause either I don't want to follow the story anymore or I don't like how things are so I want to change everything.
What can you approve?:
I can probably approve my editing skills a but more just to make things run smoother
How can you make your strengths better?: Just keep with them and keep doing what I do! You know what they say practice makes perfect!
