The elements we like the most from this movie are the fight scenes.The fights scenes look so realistic with the fake blood and punching/kicking sounds. The specific camera angles and movements, lighting, and sounds, the fighting shown is brought to life in an exciting yet safe way.  Another element that Ronneka and I liked was the suspenseful/ominous music.The use of this music helps to set the mood for the readers.It gets the audience off their feet and eager to find out what is going to happen next.Lastly, we liked the revenge plot element of the movie.The father got revenge on the men who took his daughter which in our opinion was an amazing father-daughter love bond.This is why Ronneka and I love action films.We feel like these elements help to keep the audience intrigued and focused on the movie without getting bored.

To be completely honest, there was nothing that we didn't like from this movie.All the elements that were used were not too overpowering.It was a great movie overall and did a good job at portraying the action genre.

Research : How to make a short film

Image
        This informational video helped opened my eyes to more knowledge on how to produce our own film. While watching I noticed I already knew somethings like when they were talking about the creation of films. However, "How to make a short film" video gave a lot of new tips that will help me in the production of our short film journey. The production tips and post production tips in this video were given by a expert in film. One tip that caught my attention is when the expert mentions to not do it if you can’t pull it off. Another tip is that it is key to mess with the audience's mind and emotions. The expert explains that it is either all or nothing and to not do something half or partially. This kind of reminds me of this expression, " Go big or go home". This expression implies it's all or nothing which is why the film expert explanation reminded me of it.  Adding unnecessary things to a scene because it looks like a cool element to your fi...

Comparing Le Jetree, the short, and 12 monkeys, the full length movie

Image
 PART ONE- So from the video we learned the 12 monkeys is supposed to be a remake of Le Jetee. However, nothing could ever be recreated the way Le Jetee was. We believe the elements of mis-en scene camera shots and angles were expressed in le jetee that weren't quite the same in 12 monkeys. The information that We gather from this video included the a dispassionate tone carried in Le jette from the film narrator. It added an accentuation in the audio to the rest of the film and images.

It gave an outlook on war times before during and after of a war through the life of a man ( a slave) that could trave...
