Time for the reviews

 Hello, my name is Cecelia, and, in this blog, I talk about what we are currently doing for our short film and what we are doing to move forward. So, in this blog I'm mostly going to be talking about more editing and having someone I know to watch and give their perspective on our film so far. I wanted to have someone who knew nothing about the film to give their outside perspective and tell us what they thought about it. So recently, we have finished most of the editing so we have mostly been looking at what can be changed and how were going to put it all together. I'm personally really happy with how the film has turned out so far, but I know we need another opinion from someone who will be nonbiased. I planned on asking my mom, and while I know it seems like she will be biased, I asked her to judge it like she would anything else. Before I showed it to her, I made sure to go over it again and see if there was anything that need fixing before I showed it to my mom. It all seemed fine, so I went ahead and when she had free time, I showed her the short film and then asked her for notes. The notes that she gave me were helpful and she told me what she thought could be better throughout. Her first note was that the dialogue wasn't smooth enough and we need to work on having it seem like such a normal conversation. Another note as that we needed more background noise to make it seem like a park and that it sounded empty. Her final note was that she was impressed with the dialogue and that she was really proud with what we had done and that all I needed to do was to make sure that when there was a jump cut to make it seem more natural. I was really happy with all the notes she gave and started working on what she said. Having another person's eyes on the short film really helped and made gave me another perspective on the film. I'm going to ask another person to give me their perspective on the film and what they think about. I'm also going to be asking my other group mates if they can ask people, they know to give their perspectives about the film. If we can get a lot of people to give us their perspective, then we can get more feedback which we need. I really need to know what other people think as because I tend to miss little details. I hope I get more positive and negative feedback from people because only positive feedback will not help. It's been a really long day and I'm just happy to get this done and be over it. I want to thank you for reading my blog and hope you have a wonderful day.

Actors who can act

Hello, name is Cecelia, and welcome to my blog where I talk about what me and my group are doing for our short film and what we have been up to. Today I'm going to be talking about the actors in our short film and each character they are playing. Since we don't have many characters in the film it's only going to be a few actors I'm talking about. When making the script I didn't really see a need in adding so many characters and decided that I wanted to focus on the main characters and bullies. There is still a lot of dialogue between the characters and actions what they are doing to fill up the short film and experience the feelings of the characters. Creating the characters was easy since as a group we got to decide how we would want them to act and how they would be. Finding the people who would act in the scenes was not as easy since many of the people I know were not interested in acting. At first, I thought that we would have to find people who were willing to

9 the short film vs 9 the film

  Short film: My first impression of this short film was a bit strange. I felt like the post-apocalyptic earth with mechanical creatures and animals made the film have a strange sci-fi feel. However, the meaning behind the plot regarding humans and machines, or what makes people alike in certain ways was shown when the other eight rag dolls emerged from the dead. The lack of speech or diction in this film also aided towards the meaning behind his film in regards to what makes us all alike. It is also cool to learn and relate to a character without even hearing them talk. Conventions  used are an abundance of low and high angles, to show the antagonists power over 9, yet also eyeline shots are used to show emotion in such characters. Full length film: The full length film had much more character development, we were able to better understand who the characters were and how the emotional vulnerability aided towards the plot of the film. In the full film, the ragdoll seems to be more on a

Comparing Le Jetée vs 12 Monkeys

Image
From a video on YouTube, I learned about "twelve monkeys", and how it apparently is a short film version of "la Jetée".  The name of the video is "is 12 monkeys better than the original" where it goes through and explains the differences and how it changed. My own takeaway is that while short films can be derived from movies, they can be changed into its own creation despite having the same plot. It doesn't need to perfectly resemble the original movie; in fact, it can have its own take and be even better than the original. I learned that the movie cannot be reimagined through the help of writing and creative changes and added to the movie. Short films can be entertaining when written with the right amount of all elements and not just full of jokes. The movie can have the same plot but take different risk, like how twelve monkeys break out of its restraints that la Jetée had. The movie short monkeys became its own thing, and truly was a great movie for
