         The movie "Agent Carter" incorporated many different film elements that made it interesting and pleasing to the viewers. The movie begins with a flashback scene of Captain America and Peggy. They used simultaneity when cutting back and forth between Captain America on the ship and Peggy. Close up shots where used to showcase the emotions of the two characters based on the actions going. Those shots create sadness, suspense, and fear for the viewers because the characters were crying, and it looks as if Captain America didn't succeed his landing.

The music helps to provide feeling of uneasiness. In the second clip, I added a calm music to showcase how the real flower is more delicate and soft, which provides a feeling of calmness. Direct sound- Direct sound is all the sound that the characters can hear when filming the scene. In the parallelism edit, I left the original sound of my parents voices talking in the background. It enhance the busyness of the city, and how there are many activities happening simultaneously. In the first clip of my example of simultaneity, I kept the original sound of the song that is playing on the radio. It can make the viewers feel intense or concerned because there isn't much activities going, and the car seems isolated with only the radio playing. These are also examples of diegetic sound. post-synchron...
