Part 2 of filming at Ronneka's house

         Filming on January 20th was so stressful to me at first. I know waiting last minute did not help even though it was not my fault I still held myself accountable. I haven't filmed anything in so long and that got to me. However, after I filmed a couple scenes and got back the hang of it. It was easier to film with a family member. My mom is a natural actor so it was easy to work with her. When it came to directing I did not have to waste my time repeating myself. This saved us time when it came to filming. The only thing we both struggled with was sticking to the script fully. We ended up adding a couple new words to some scenes. This is because in the moment it just felt more natural to say them which added to the emotion aspect of the film. However, in some scenes curse words slipped out so we had to do another take for those parts. The emotional part was the most important key to the film being successful. Therefore, we had to make sure we did anything to get the best results. Adding those extra words was a great idea to me. It was helping to get the best results which I wanted. Then, I ended up changing the costume for the daughter. The daughter is wearing all black tights and a long sleeve now. During filming I noticed the lighting was not going good with the clothes I had on before. We ended up filming an extra scene that was not originally apart of the film just in case it was not enough time for the film. This scene was just a split screen with a phone call happening between the mother and daughter.

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...
