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

So I have watched a video pertaining to the movies la jetee and 12 monkeys. I have also read an article pertaining to the same thing. Both mediums of information presented some interesting points. I'm going to share my take always from them starting with the video. Ill start with the fact that la jetee is and old French movie that inspires 12 monkey's. It wasn't any old French movie though. Its a few good info and takeaways mainly of the stories and premises of la jetee/12 monkeys. The most striking how ever that might even help through my short film process has to be the area of the film that expresses how the director of la jetee in particular used the pictures/slides and the impact that the way the slide was used had on the audience. For example the director utilized "cross fades and dissolves for a more dream like reflective ambiance". Not only that 12 monkeys also seemed to have been able to uses things such as camera angles to better express or give insight into the meaning the scene is trying to bring out, for example 12 monkeys used wild angles "to convey a skewed vision of humanity". Now time to switch gears to the article. The article seems to present information from the lens of an opinion, more accurately, a review. This can cause the article to have  or seem to have a more bias  view on said  films. With that out of the way the article seems to be the writer giving high praise to both films. AT the same time the article is also trying to convey a description of the premise of both movies. The article also indeed compares the two films even stating even going as far as to state "12 Monkeys is not meant to be a carbon copy of La Jetée, but rather a longer homage of sorts to Marker’s film". Just like the movie the articles provides info that could help one though their short film process. The article gave us, the reader a bit of insight on angles and sounds that characterized these sets and types of films which could be useful in terms of making ones own short film. With that being said that's what I've gained from both the article and the video.

Research: How to make a short film

Image
 I've watched the "how to make a short film" YouTube video and  I gathered a good amount of useful points tips and ideas. Time to delve into what I've gained. Ill start with the fact that when designing or writing you short film one should only do enough that fit their resources. A good example of such is if I have 20,000 I cant be writing or designing for a 100,000 dollar short film. Another example of such is if I only have a water gun I cannot be looking to make a wwii bunker battle since I don't have the resources for such action. When making a short film one should also think of set ups and payoffs. Their are also multiple types of set ups and pay offs including emotional and story as decreed by the video. another skill that their video speaks of is to do or act in opposite of what the audience is expecting. An example of this could be that an audience is expecting a scene  where a mysteries character is the protagonist father but then you can flip the script...

Ok, so previously i explained my game plan for doing the video project. this is a continuation of that blog. in this blog I will be going into greater detail about the second part of my plan to finish the project. First it will start with me going up to the front gate of the complex area. From there i would basically take car of all parts pertaining to the killer. I would start with the opening shot of the killer. then i would move on and take all scenes in which pertain to killer. while I'm doing that I would simultaneously improvise each scene. I would add extra movements and even add different camera angles if necessary. from then on I would go back to basketball court. Once there I would take all shots of my victim. just like the killers scenes i would try to improvise the victims scenes with movements and camera angles. After that i would start taking the scenes of the killer and victim in the same frame. I would retake some scenes just incase they were not up to par. note tha...
