Image of original C- 3PO art	Star Wars has very clear references to the 1930s film Metropolis. The character of C-3PO was inspired by the android in the silent film.
Image of Rotwang showing his robot hand	Star Wars also has the hands of both Luke and Anakin Skywalker cut off and replaced by robotic hands as a reference to the evil scientist Rotwang, who has a metal hand covered by a black glove.
Image of C-3PO from Episode I without gold plating	Anakin is also the creator of C-3PO, just like Rotwang was the creator of the android.
Image of the Workers City from Metropolis	There are also similar themes between the movies, including a struggle between the lower class and an oppressive upper class.
Image of Moloch Machine from Metropolis	The upper class and their superior and deadly machinery oppress the lower class.
Image of Darth Vader	Darth Vader also mirrors the android of Metropolis, being half human and half machine created to destroy the heroes of the story.

First Independent Film Project

 I think that the sound effects turned out very well. I was relatively successful at integrating them in and making them the right volume to be heard over the music but not be overwhelming. I also think that I integrated the music very well to cut out at the right times to make certain scenes funnier.

I could have done a better job with writing and making the beginning and end of the film less serious because it doesn't fit with the rest of the film. I could have also not cut out an important scene that explains the girl's powers more.

If I had to do the film over again, I would put more planning into every aspect of it. I would plan out my shots before-hand to make them look more creative. I would also  schedule my filming in advance and better control my actors. There were far too many days when my actors cancelled because we didn't know when we could film sometimes until the day of. I would also film all of the scenes instead of cutting some out. I also would find people who are better at acting.
