Final Task- Filming and Editing Blog

           Sonali and I have yet to start the filming process. This also means we also have yet to start editing. Sonali and I decided to officially start filming when our spring break starts which is March 18. We decided that break is the best timing for both of us.We both have different schedules going on at the moment, school, and do not live super close by each other. Spring break will give us the time to actually go to our different settings and film without interruption. However, we are starting to get the props needed for our opening sequence. We do not need a lot of props but the main props we need are duct tape, rope, and paper. Also, I am going through family videos that consist of my sister which is gonna be the victim of the kidnapping. If I am lucky enough to find family videos that works best with the opening sequence, we will use them in the film. Sonali and I decided using family videos within the opening sequence will make the kidnapping look more realistic. Even though we are not officially filming we want to start planning out which setting to go to first and practice our scripts so we can be prepared. Being prepared will make the filming process go smoother and faster which means no time will be wasted. The preparation for the film is a key part of an easy filming process. Sonali and I decided that we will start filming early during the day just in case we need to retake some scenes so it will not get dark while we're filming. We are also going to see if any of the locations we chose to film needs permission to film there. We have yet to choose any background music so we will be figuring that out too.We have a little more work to do before starting to film which is also another reason why we chose not to start right now. Moreover, we're both glad we did not start filming yet because we feel like the filming process would be rushed and wouldn't be showcasing our best efforts. If we were to start filming now between school, work, and personal matters we would do the bare minimum for this opening sequence. Most importantly, Sonali and I agree the filming process should consists of both of our best abilities and efforts instead of just one and break is the perfect opportunity for that.

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...
