Short film research: Rise / Science Fiction
Welcome back! I watched a short film with a genre of science fiction called "Rise." This short film is about robots and how there being targeted to be eliminated and destroyed by humans.The setting starts in a factory where a mass production of robots are being made. The lighting is dark and the atmosphere is intense. High angle shots and aerial angles are used to show the factory and the amount of robots in the factory. While this is happening a voice over is used to tell the story of the situation and giving background information. The voice over explains how the robots are being treated and how robots are developing human like emotions. The setting then moves to a warehouse setting where there’s a two shot. In the two shot is a robot and a guy who is wearing a military outfit. The editing then uses cross cutting to show the outside world of how more police man and military using weapons as props towards robots. It displays them trying to gather and eliminate the robots. But while that is happening simultaneously the military guy is interrogating the robot in the warehouse is happening. The robots look identical like as humans as they have a human like face and they wear suits to fit in. The scenes are extremely similar as there is so much action going on to show the chaotic environment. Dialogue between the robot and guy is shown to increase the tension between the two and how the two perspectives of the issue. I liked the dialogue element of when the guy and robot is talking because it shows a emotional moment. They both are trying to stand up for what they believe in and are fighting for both them selves. It’s a important moment because it shows an overview of the situation. I disliked the cross cutting because there was too much of it and it was hard to focus on what was going on. Since the cross cutting was extremely intense and it was too much back and forth. More films like this in this genre is the movie Ai and Robots. So these are both great examples of the genre.
