Short Film Research- I am in the world as free and slender as a deer on a plain (DRAMA)

              This short film does not have a lot of the common elements for the drama genre. However, the film has the common editing used in drama films. The short film has low key lighting being used. It uses zoom as one of it's camera angles  in the beginning of the 11 minutes film. It has this upbeat background music playing which adds as a dramatic effect.The costumes were very casual clothing like a blouse and jeans. It did not use none of the key elements that we like. There was no screaming or yelling and no dramatic conflict. The film starts off very confusing though. It shows what looks like someone that is a butcher getting a pig off a table. This start off of the short film does not help to tell the main idea of the film. Also, it does not contribute to the main topic which is a woman seeing multiple men. The short film was just about a girl seeing different guys and so on. She goes about her life day by day in a calming mood. She has no crazy reactions to anything which is a common element in drama films. She shows no emotions or acknowledgment to her actions which draws a dramatic effect to the audience. Her being so emotionless intrigues the audience the short film. We were thinking out of no where some dramatic action would occur at the end. However, there was no crazy ex appeared or guys fighting over her which would be some type of drama. This short film does not really match the type of drama my partner and I are going for in our short film. This short film is more calm drama than chaotic drama. Also, all the guys she saw had no problems with her and was very nonchalant in their encounter with her. No conflict occurred in this drama film which we do not like because we feel drama is all about a conflict or chaotic problem occurring.

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...
