Short Film Research - Friday Tigers by Aidee Walker (drama)

        The short film is almost 17 minutes and the plot is very hard to find out. The film is not very straight forward or clearly states it's plot to the audience. It does not start with any context of what might be the plot. The scenes just go day by day and show what different things occur during the different days. The film never actually goes in debt detail about why something happen or what is the problem. It just shows the aftermath or the effects of the problems occurring in the woman's life. However, since it is drama we were expecting some type of conflict to happen in the short film. The short film consist of many sounds. Background music is played during the beginning of the film. The background music sounds like a person singing with an instrument. The noise of the train moving on the tracks is prominently loud but not too loud. Then, little sounds like the typing to text and other little sounds like that were enhanced.The costumes used for the main characters in dress to fit the occasion going on in the scene which can be casual clothing or other costumes. The actors dress casual like a shirt or blouse and jean pants.The common light editing is realistic lighting. The colors are brightly shown to capture nature's beauty. Then, the lighting gets a little darker because the day is going on and getting later so it shows the time change. Some scenes are edited in a drawing format. Those scenes are not realistic, they show a paper and a drawing acting out the scene. Then, one scene that kind of reveals the plot but not directly is when the woman is looking for her father's child and saying "you can't keep leaving us like this". This is where the drama starts because she now is screaming out her words which is a key element of the drama genre. Then, later on she gets caught kissing another man and Mike (the father's child) comes out of no where and starts fighting the guy. A lot of yelling, screaming, and fighting are occurring now. This contributes to the drama genre elements because it involves dramatic actions. The camera also zooms in on this to capture the audience attention on the drama that is occurring in that scene.

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...
