Comparing Le Jetee, the short and 12 Monkeys, the full length movie

 

A short film can be made in different ways. For example, Le Jetee was a series of pictures with audio that was narrating the story. A motion picture isn't the only effective way to portray the events in a short film. The pictures were used as visualization of what happened. The narrating voice was used to tell the story and create the plot. In some cases a short film is a remake of a full length movie. In other cases, the full length movie is an extension of the short. It is used to add more detail, character development and depth to the story line. On the other hand, a short film can also be the base of a full length movie. The video helps explain ways a short film can portray the plot more effectively. This can help with the short film process because it helps explains ways to portray a story effectively using only pictures and sound. As stated in the article, Le Jetee was a work of art.

Planning for Short Film

Image
  We plan to film our short film at different locations around the school. The first place we plan to film is on the track. This is where the establishing shot will be and the entire first scene will happen. The next scene will take place in the bully's room, this where the transition to the bully's dream takes place. The bully's dream will occur in the outside hallway of building 5. The final scene will happen in the bus loop. We will begin filming after winter break, January 3, 2022. The day back is an A day so we will try to film during al of our study halls. When filming isn't in process everyone will have on their masks for safety. There will be sanitizer for the cast to use whenever they touch anything. One of the main props will have are the bookbags they have on. Since they are teenagers they will also have their phones. The scene in the hallway will be the first one that we complete because everyone will be in class. As far as costumes, everyone can wear their ...

Genre Research - Final Choice

Image
    Out of all three of the genres chosen, we decided to finally go with Drama. The reason for this choice is that a drama is simply more flexible than the others. There are so many aspects to a film that can make it be considered as a drama. On the other hand, Horror and Comedy have a big more restraint.

Genres choices

  We chose three different genres that we believed our pitch could fit into. The first genre we chose is comedy. Our pitch could fit into the comedy genre because of some events that could occur. For example, while the bully is learning from his mistake someone could make a joke. It could also fit in this genre because of its elements and Mis-En-Scene. Such as, the casual costumes and classroom settings of many comedy films. The second genre we chose for our pitch is horror. This pitch could fit into this genre because of the acts of violence within the scenes. Another reason it could fit is because of some common sounds found in horror. For example, screaming; this could be used in our pitch during a scene where the bully is bullying someone. The last genre we chose for our pitch is drama. Our pitch could fit into this genre because the relationship between a bully and his victim revolves around drama. The story line of dramas commonly revolve around high schoolers, which our pitc...
