Changing the props (production blog)

                We changed a lot of things when we started filming. Two props we did not end up using is the duct tape and rope. The duct tape was not used for many reasons. One of the reasons is that the duct tape material was uncomfortable to use on my sister. Since she's so little we did not want it to hurt her when it was needed to be taken off. We used bandanas instead so it would not hurt when it got taken off. Another reason was the smell from the duct tape was not pleasing to my sister (the kidnapper's victim). The next prop we changed out were the ropes. I did not find any rope around my house so instead of buying rope, I decided to change it out completely. I chose to use a headscarf as rope. The scarf tie is a lot similar to the bandanas. The scarf tie is softer and more comfortable on skin compared to rope. We have yet to film the scenes that consist of using these props. The scene that will use these props is after the kidnapper leaves the park. Also, we are going to put the bandanas over both her eyes and mouth. At first we were just going to put it over her mouth only. We then thought covering both makes more sense so the victim would not be able to see anything.Then, tie her arms and legs with the scarf ties. We planned only to tie her legs but decided to tie her arms too. Tying everything makes the victim less likely to escape and makes its more realistic of a pro kidnapper.

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. The exaggerated audio such as percussion sounds and a pounding heartbeat. These tools created a more dreamlike film with the genre being a sci-fi filled film this plot included a mediation of the passage of time. They did this by using closeup shot to exaggerate images and characters faces and emotions expressed throughout the film helped create the dreamlike idea that was portrayed. 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...
