short film research: Gwafi

 This short film research was a true story that revolved around "loss and reincarnation," after the main characters friend passed away. The main character deals with depression as she tried to move past her traumatic experience trying to save her friend from death.

Here are some common camera angles that were used in this film:

Close-up: close-up shots focused on a specific characters or objects used in the film to show the emotion or expression of a character. This angle is particularly effective in this film because it allows the audience to connect with the character on a deeper level.

Medium shot: medium shots capture the upper body and part of the surroundings of the subject in this film. This angle is used to show the body language and facial expressions of the characters, as well as their relationships with other characters.

Long shot: long shots in this film capture the entire body of the subject and shows the character in their environment. This angle is used to establish the setting and give the audience a sense of the character's surroundings.

Over-the-shoulder shot: over-the-shoulder shots capture the main character in Gwafi from behind the shoulder of another character, often used to show a conversation between the two main characters or to show one character's reaction to another character's words or actions.

common sound in this film:

  1. Footsteps: Footsteps were used to create a sense of movement or to indicate the presence of the main character.

  2. Objects being handled: The sound of objects being handled, such as cars starting or setting down a glass , were used to create a sense of activity or to underscore a character's actions.


common editing in film:


Jump cut: A jump cut is an abrupt cut between two shots that are similar in composition, but with a small difference in the frame. Jump cuts were used to create a sense of disjunction or to convey a character's state of mind, depression, in this film.


Fade-in and fade-out: A fade-in is a transition in which a shot gradually appears on screen, while a fade-out is a transition in which a shot gradually disappears. Fade-ins and fade-outs were used to indicate the passage of time or to signal the beginning or end of a scene.


Elements of this film we liked: We liked the realism of this film, dramas can sometimes be fictional or unrealistic to aids towards the climax and plot, but the realism of this film still allowed an intriguing story and was interesting through the whole way.


Elements we didn't like: We didn't like the length of some of the scenes, it seemed like a part of the film was dragging although the story was interesting.

Everyone else would be wearing there regular clothing regardless of the scene and will have one main person. they will be wearing all white, as per the dress and depending on the person it will change but will stay all white. The only hats worn will be worn by other background people.

Guess whos back

Hello I'm Cecelia Torrez, and I'm excited to share my experience through my final project in my media studies class. I'm excited share my project with the readers of my blog, but first I want to give background about my self and what's been going on in my life. First off, my grades have gotten really good and I have been more responsible. I believe that I have become more responsible due to keeping a schedule more often of my plans for the week. The beginning of the year I made it my resolution to become more responsible for the year so that I could be better, and improve myself. So far, I have been following through and I have become more responsible. I'm hoping the by the end of the year I would have made major life improvements. I've gotten back into my art, which I love, and I am trying to hone my craft so that maybe it becomes a side business to my main job in the future. I'm now in symphonic band, its different from marching band. Instead of marching a...

Editing our movie

Hello, my name is Cecelia, and this is my blog where I talk about me and my groups short film and what we have been up to lately. It's been a stressful week and I've finally had the opportunity to start editing the short film. The play was a success Friday night, and I got just enough sleep to wake up early in the morning and start editing before I had to do the play at night. When I started editing, I went through my notebook for all the notes I made and started editing. I went through each clip and decided how I wanted to edit the entire scenes together. I wanted to make it go smoothly together, but that took many times because I couldn't find a good transition between scenes without any awkward pauses. I then had to make sure the audio matched up and that it wouldn't have any bits where there was pure silence. While the scenes were great, there were a few changes I had to make. I had to go through and find any scene where there was a mistake we didn't catch, and ...
