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

 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 ...

Production: Filter time!!

 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.

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...

Time For Music!

 Hello everyone! Hope all is well.  Today, we are going to talk about music. Finding background music for a film is like finding a puzzle piece - it's a process of trial and error, having to listen to multiple options until finding the perfect match. Both require careful selection to ensure they bring the overall project together, enhancing the theme, mood, and pacing. Just as a missing puzzle piece completes a puzzle, the right background music can complete a film, adding depth and atmosphere to scenes. However, if the wrong background music is chosen, it can completely undermine the intended theme and mood of the film. It may lack the intensity or suspense needed for a thriller scene, or it may be too overwhelming and distract from the narrative. This can greatly impact the audience's experience and ruin the overall pacing and impact of the film. Therefore, I was careful to select background music that complements the overall project. As part of my research, I used YouTube t...
