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

-

 Welcome back!

I’ll be comparing Le Jetee and 12 monkey in this blog. Both films are similar to each other even though the full length movie 12 monkey did not intend to make a remake of the short film Le Jetee. The film have similar themes that talk about time.The films explores the theme of time and the struggles of understanding time. Le Jetee tells the story through the use of photographs while in 12 monkey we follow a traditional movie that is based on the themes of the  photographs. Even though Le Jetee telled  only through photo’s it still effectively displayed the story without doing the traditional movie way. This helps me to envision more on what I will do on my short film project because it gives me a different approach on how to display my story then doing it the traditional way of how movies tell the story. I can focus more on the action of the character in my film rather than having a dialogue that explains the situation. This creates a more engaging a experience for the viewer. Both these films tell their message in different ways but overall have the same theme. The way the film delivers the message are both deliver different but have different feel because of how it was delivered. For example, watching La JeTee made me feel emotionally moved and is unforgettable. 12 monkey made me feel intrigued and suspense.

12 monkey really transformed those ideas of Le Jetee into something more and makes it a little different incorporating the technology of the modern day. The short film made me realize that a short film can capture the big theme and idea without it having to be as long as a full version. It can make as a strong story as well as a full version. I honestly preferred the short version because it was extremely unique and gave me a new way to do my short film. I learned that you can still take an idea that have already been used and can make it into a project that is very similar in concept and make it more detailed and more bigger.

 Genre Research: 47 Meters Down: Uncaged What elements of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have? The elements of the genre that I chose to base my final task on that this movie have is the lighting of the movie. In the beginning of the movie the movie has a really bright lighting but as the movie progressed the lighting becomes really dull and dark. I choose these elements because it's important for horror movies to have dark lighting to create the horror and dark effect. But also for the balance of having both light and dark lighting for our final task. What elements of the genre did this movie have that you like? Element of the movie that I liked are the narrative. I liked how the movie starts off it being a normal day for a group of teenagers but then eventually becomes one of the worst days of there lives. It shows a continuous timeline from start to end and doesn't cut to the end or the middle. It makes it easier to follow the storyline....

 This is my CCR Part one where ill be answering half of the questions. Stay tuned for the next video! Script:  Hi, welcome to my podcast I'm natalie ehney and I'm going to be talking about my moving opening. The first question is How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues? Conventions are used by our product, which originally appeared in the horror genre. Horror is the genre of our film; and it can be fiction or nonfiction, and its goal is to frighten audiences. Our plan was to create a horror genre fiction. The horror genre included elements like  plot twists, a sense of terror, and cliffhangers. These components are a part of our own product. You can observe a guy looking for someone in our product. The guy finds a monster-like thing that is racing after him and stabbing a girl while he is looking for someone. The audience is left with a lot of unanswered questions, like what happened to the girl and who is after...

Hello Cambridge ! It's great to be back and I hope you're all doing well. Here's a update on our film process. After consideration among our team, we've decided to maintain the existing footage without further filming. Unfortunately, our busy schedules have made it challenging to coordinate additional filming sessions. But dont worry and rest assured were dedicating our time into editing to ensure the final product is the best we can do. Right now were focusing on getting the editing done. As mentioned in a previous blog post, we're using  Adobe Premiere Pro to edit the  footage we've captured. Collaborating with my team, I've been involved in guiding the editing process for this new footage. We agreed that  the new footage should be added to the beginning of the video would make the footage flow better. It was also a better fit then the footage that was previously in the beginning. This decision was reached through thoughtful discussion through texting. Onc...
