Trying to Film

Production Blog

         Sonali and I are trying to start filming and stick to the schedule we made. We are trying to start filming March 18, which is on a Thursday. We chose this day for two reasons. For one it is an early release day which means we get out of school early so we would have time to film during the day. The other reason is that the day after is no school which means we can film without being on a time limit. We now know what scenes and locations we want to film first. We want to film the scenes that include both Sonali and I first to get that out the way. These scenes take place at a park and a house. Moreover, the scenes that do not consist Sonali, I can film at my pace or any day. The reason is because the scenes that do not consist of her, it consists of my brother and sister being the actors. Since my siblings and I live together it is easy to plan with them compared to Sonali. We are filming the "hard" scenes first. By hard I mean scenes that take a lot of planning and having to make sure I am on the same schedule with Sonali. We have all the props needed for those scenes. The props needed for those scenes are phones, water bottle, missing person's flyer, and possibly a knife. Sonali edited a missing person's flyer with my sister's information (victim). Now all we have to do is print the flyers out. Printing the flyers will only take a couple minutes so we can do that the day of filming. The knife is a possible prop at the moment because we want to shoot the scene without it first and see how realistic that looks. If it does not look like a realistic kidnapping since there is no weapon forcing the victim to go with the kidnapper, we will reshoot it with the kidnapper using a knife.

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...
