Welcome! Today we will be comparing another short and full-length movie. Part 1: Video Takeaways The video provided a fascinating look into the storytelling techniques of La Jetée and 12 Monkeys , demonstrating how two films can explore similar themes through very different methods. La Jetée , a groundbreaking French short film, tells a hauntingly powerful narrative using only still images, yet manages to evoke deep emotions and a sense of tension. It serves as a remarkable example of how simplicity, when paired with a strong narrative concept, can result in a profoundly moving experience. In contrast, 12 Monkeys , a full-length feature film, expands upon La Jetée 's concept by incorporating live-action scenes, dialogue, and more complex character interactions. Both films dive deeply into themes of time travel, memory, and the struggle for survival in a dystopian, post-apocalyptic world. Part 2: Article Takeaways The article further deepened my ...
Hello viewers! Hope everyone is having a great day. Today, I'll be sharing my pitch with you all. Here we go! Pitch A : A young girl who has a hidden love for singing debates whether or not to join a national competition to pay for her mother's surgery with the prize money. Pitch B : After a girl starts living another girl's life, a stalker starts threatening to spill her dark secret. As interesting as Pitch A appears to be, it would be more difficult for me to film.

Overall, this pitch would require extreme effort and be highly impossible for me to finish with my limited resources. This caused me to be less interested in doing this pitch. Pitch B piques my interest the most. It would take time to film and edit everything, but it would be possible to finish. The props required are easily ob...
Welcome! Choosing an editing style for the project was one of the most important steps in bringing the story to life. I wanted to create a specific mood that would enhance the emotions of each scene, so I spent a lot of time experimenting with different filters and effects. Initially, I tried using bright, high-contrast filters to make everything pop, but it didn’t fit the tone I was aiming for. It made the film feel too loud and overwhelming. After discussing it with the group, I decided to take a more subtle approach. I experimented with softer filters that muted the colors slightly. This gave the scenes a more romantic, dream-like quality, which was perfect for the narrative. The group and I agreed that this style complemented the story's reflective and emotional elements. Another aspect I focused on was color grading. I chose warm tones for the happy moments, adding soft golden hues to emphasize the warmth of those memories. For the more intense or emotional scenes, I le...
