Research: How to make a short film

Image
  Hey there blog! Welcome back! A fter watching the Youtube video "How to Make a Short Film", I've taken away a few key points that I would like to share.  1. "Write what you know you can pull off" I became mindful of the significance of realism because of this concept. This concept basically highlights that rather than committing to unrealistic ideas, one should concentrate on what is achievable given the resources and financial limitations at hand. This means that since my group and I are students, guidance should be quite helpful in the short film production. 2. "Focus on setups and payoffs" In movies, setups and payoffs are crucial because they allow the telling of a tale in a novel way. Setoffs are early-introduced facts or elements in a movie, and payoffs are the unexpected outcomes they eventually create. The video highlights the crucial distinctions between the story, action, and emotional setup and payoffs, as well as their respective roles in...

Comparing Le Jetee, the short, and 12 Monkeys, the full-length movie

Image
  Hey there blog! In today's writing, I'll be comparing the 12 Monkeys video and the article.   Part 1: - I learned from this video that there are a lot of important differences between photo books and movies, and that knowing these differences is important for understanding how viewers view different kinds of media. Acting, storyline, storytelling, and editing are all included in this, but they are not the only ones. -  One useful thing I learned from watching this video was how important a movie's narrative and climax are. Writing a script is difficult, but even if the other parts of a movie are excellent, without a storyline, there is nothing for the viewer to follow throughout the entire movie, which could ruin an otherwise excellent film. Having an idea is good, but being able to carry it out is essential. -  By challenging me to consider whether or not an audience comprehends my film based on the script instead of solely on how well I know it, I hope this might...

Comparing 9, the short, and 9, the full-length movie

Image
•   Short film:   The creative short film "9" told a post-apocalyptic story. This is amplified by the strong focus on sound design, mood, and visual storytelling. The notion is subject to interpretation because of the extreme narrative and absence of conversation. The tone is prioritized over standard character development in Shane Acker's unorthodox directing techniques. This was achieved by the lighting and texture, which heightened the enigmatic atmosphere. Their environment is scary and strange because of the detailed animation. •   Full-length film:   The setting and characters advance further in the full-length, which also includes conversation, backstory, and a more standard narrative format. Considering the Hollywood-style characters, the animation was still a classic. This made it easier to understand by providing a clear hero's journey and resolution, but it also took away from the film's distinctive qualities. Part of the short's unique charm was lo...

And our genre is...

  And our genre is... COMEDY Hey there blog! I hope you guys are enjoying your holidays and having a great time. During mine I've been taking some time to look into what genre I want to continue with this year. We've all had a conversation and decided that comedy is our top pick! When going through the options, I thought comedy would be great because theres a larger range. I did romantic comedy but we were more closed off to how far we can take it. When having an open genre like this, we have a wider variety of options on what we can do to continue the storyline. Truthly, we know we also wouldnt have fun doing another. I rather have a genre topic that we'd be creative with because it motivates the rest of us to continue and keep going. While also having fun of course. Comedy was also in mind since other people we know could help us as background characters if we need it. It'd be fun for them to participate aswell if it came to it. Alot of people do horror and stick arou...

Pitch A: A teen girl wakes up one day after a long stormy night, only to discover that she can hear peoples thougths. Pitch B: A group of friends get lost on their trip to Florida, away from family, and need to improvise. Discuss pitch A: During a really bad storm, a teen girl decided to go to sleep after losing power and when she wakes up, she feels pretty weird. She cant tell whats off but knows somethings not right. she keeps hearing random things around her. as she talks to others she can hear their true thoughts and responses but as she calls it out, the reactions of others are freaked.
