Research: How to make a short film

Hey, blog! It's me again! Today, I’m continuing my research by watching a video on how to make a short film! The video provides a step-by-step guide to the filmmaking process from beginning to end. I’ll share my key insights and how I plan to apply them to my project.

I found the video to be extremely helpful. It covered both the technical and creative aspects of making a short film. One key point it emphasized was the importance of focusing on a single core concept instead of trying to fit too much into a short film. I plan to keep this in mind during my own project and avoid overcomplicating things. Another important takeaway was the significance of scriptwriting and planning. The video explained how the screenplay serves as the foundation for the entire film, influencing both creative and practical elements of filmmaking

The video also offered valuable advice on production, particularly around budgeting, crew, and equipment. It reminded me that the tools we use don't necessarily determine the quality of the final film, which is reassuring because I’ll be filming on my phone. Rather than stretching my resources too thin, I’ll focus on working with what I have for my project. Lastly, the video highlighted the need for flexibility during the filming process. While planning is essential, unexpected challenges will inevitably arise, and I’ll need to adapt. I will be taking in many of these tips into doing my short film so it can be successful and run smoothly.

That's
it for today's blog! Until next time, Karina logging off.

Title Research: Art of the Title Website

Hello everyone, Welcome back to another blog! Today, I will be discussing with you our websites on title research. The title design in opening sequences is extremely important. So, it’s equally as important to properly plan. Because of this, my group has made sure to use the best websites to research our titles and title research. The two websites I have chosen for this research are http://www.artofthetitle.com/ and http://www.watchthetitles.com/. These websites are really good for many reasons. The first is that art of the Title website has movies from around the world, which is really good for variety and helps to research broader styles and genres. Additionally, the site features title designs of film, television, conference, and video game industries. Again, this is very good for a broad selection. The other website, Watchthetitles.com, has over 200 title sequences, along with video interviews, and articles about movie titles. They are both great we...

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

Hey, blog! It's me again, today, I'll be comparing a short and a full-length film for my research. I'll be examining La Jetée and 12 Monkeys . I watched a video that compares 12 Monkeys and La Jetée , and it discussed how the feature film naturally extends the short, building on the original ideas. The video also touched on how both films explore the inevitability of certain events. In La Jetée , the short film, the protagonist is caught in a loop, unable to change the outcome. In contrast, 12 Monkeys takes this concept further, with the main character attempting to prevent a catastrophic event. The way time is portrayed in both films is crucial to their themes, and the video highlights how this theme is central to both works. The video also showed me how manipulating time plays a critical role in storytelling. Time travel is a central theme in both films, but La Jetée uses photography to reinforce the unchanging nature of time, while 12...

critical creative reflection

In this music video I have learned a lot from my groupmate's and technology. The process wasnt easy but it was done. In our music video my group and I decided to challenge the conventions. In the genre most of it follows what the song is saying or shows two scenes but goes back and forth. In our music video we made a script in which we acted out what the song felt like for us. One meaning we had of the song was drifting apart from a relationship and learning to let go, the other was realizing your actions and feeling guilt after. An issue this music video represented was jealousy and how it can come over your actions. The girl (maddie) realized that her friend and boyfriend were cheating behind her back and she took action by drowning the girl. A group this video could affect would be jealous people or people who cheat and lead people on. It could help them to understand how their actions can really affect people from the other side and be considerate. This music vid...
