Editing and Getting the right time -production-

                Sonali and I have finally finished both filming and editing completely. The last scene that needed to be film was the kidnapper being at the gas station. On April 13, we both finished editing our parts of the opening sequence. Then, she sent her part to me and I added it to my half of the film. Now it is a full opening sequence so I sent it to her and uploaded it on Youtube. We noticed we did not need as much scenes as we thought. We ended up not needing the scenes that showed Niyah being tied up. Therefore, those props used in that scene will not be shown throughout the whole opening sequence. We actually did not film a lot of scenes that was on our storyboard. However, the storyboard was very useful for the beginning of the filming process. We did in fact use it as a guide to film the first scenes. Then, later on we freestyle or improvised on the ending scenes. While editing the sound for the scenes, we muted most of them. We added background music and noises instead. We added a suspenseful song, a sad song, and a song from a show called Victorious. We added police sirens as our non-diegetic sound. While editing I noticed we went over time so we needed to cut some seconds off some scenes. I ended up speeding up a couple of scenes instead of cutting them because the whole scene needed to be shown. For the scene that shows a news reporter I added a certain theme called news to it. This theme gave the news report a more realistic look.

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...
