Camera Evaluation

The camera, Canon's XH A1 The Canon XH A1 allows you to capture images with a 1080 HD . It displays its videos and images on its 2.8" Widescreen LCD that provides up to 207,000 pixels. It is also capable of still image shooting in various sizes.

Canon XH A1 has many good points such as excellent video quality, great lens, optical stabilizer and fast focus. However it also has some bad points such as it has no 720p recording capability, coarse and it also has low-resolution LCD.

Analog recording vs. digital recording

The Analog recording camera first came about in the 80's. The Analog camera worked by using rolls of film instead of a tape and memory disk.

The key aspect of the Analog camera is it's capability to great pictures even though it is so old. The camera makes all the picture by catching the light.

The Digital recording camera first came about in the early 90's; and is the mordern version of the Analog recording camera.

The camera allows you to do a range of thing unlike the Analog recording camera; it uses tape and memory card/disk which allows the user to save pictures on it and have the choose to delete unwanted pictures whilst shoting.

Even the mordern camera(digital camera) is more convenient it does not take the same quality pictures as the analog camera does; thats why you might that some camera-people still use the Analog recording camera today.

City Of God

City of God (Cidade de Deus) is a Brazilian crime drama film directed by Fernando Meirelles and Kátia Lund. It was released in 2002 in it’s home country but only became worldwide in 2003. It was first a novel written by Paulo Lins in 1997 but got adapted by Bráulio Mantovani. The film was set in Rio de Janeiro suburb of Cidade de Deus; between the end of the 60s and the beginning of the 80s; The film depicting the war between the drug dealer Li'l Zé and criminal Knockout Ned.

The film is seen through the eyes of the young Rocket, an aspiring photographer and it's his photographer's eye that guides us through the years of blood and bullets in the slums of Brazil. But Rocket is not the traditional protagonist; he is merely the door through which the audience enters the story. It's no coincidence that he is a would be photographer for it is what he sees, what he shows us, that is most important rather than his own tale. We first meet him in the opening chicken chase caught between the police and the gangs. From this cliffhanger moment we are sent back to the beginning, to the formative years of all the characters in the mid-sixties. But not all will be alive when we return to Rockets perilous situation almost two hours later.
