Staying in Character

            Personally the remembering the script is not the hard part for me. The staying in character the whole time is the hardest part for me. When I act it is hard to stay in character because I laugh about everything. Since this is a film about a serious issue, I cannot be laughing or smiling. However, in most of the bloopers you can see me cracking a little smirk in them. In one scene I looked too happy but I just played it off as that was my mood before the actor for Ms.Jackie started yelling at me, who plays Roxy. The scene ended up coming out good even though, me smiling was not planned. This unintentional act just added to how the daughter is happy then the mom ruins her mood. Also, my laughing was getting contagious and spreading to the other actor at some point. We just kept filming though because all these things could just be edited out. Another scene that I have something to about was the car scene. I told my sister in law to play Emma's mother for this. When she started to say the script it caught me off guard. She decided that the mother would have a country accent. When I first heard it I started to smile and was about to laugh. I was surprised and shocked to hear the country accent. I thought it sounded so funny when she started talking. However, I stopped myself from ruining the scene and got back into a serious mood. Neither of us wanted to have to film this scene again, we just wanted one take so I stayed into character. My brother did the filming for this scene, the lighting was good even though it was filmed at night.

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...
