Genre Blog: Overview- A Matter Of Maybes

  Well hello there! Haven't spoken to you in quick a bit, have I? Nevertheless, I think it's best we just jump right back into the (lights, camera,) action and get back on track! Now that we have selected our pitch and had some time to think, my teammates and I are very excited to finally start conceptualizing our short film! The first step in that process is none other than selecting a genre. The genre of a film determines its entire tone and essentially the direction in which the story progresses. Based off of our pitch, my partners and I have concluded that our film could plausibly go in one of three directions, a cathartic comedy, a dreadful thriller, or maybe even a terrifying horror piece.      If one were to consider the comedic route on its own, they would find that it is quite an interesting avenue to take. Comedy has been a source of entertainment for over a millennia, causieach try to redefine horror and amp up the level of fear they can drill in...

Short Film Research: Thriller- Oracle- Ignorance is Bliss

Is that who I think it is? Hello again dearest reader, I am happy to inform you that we have now reached the last film on our watch list for examination, Oracle by Aaron Poole, which we also encountered on the "Short of the Week" website. Camera Angles, Movement, and Shots: In this short film, we saw that there were a good number of camera shots used. Said camera shots included medium close-ups of the primary subject as they went about their daily life, whether that be in bed, in the living room, or traveling up the stairs.

When the film began to devolve into a more experimental piece, over-the-shoulder shots were used to conceal the face of the primary subject and highlight their detachment from reality and the presence, an interesting and effective choice. The same was true for the usage of long shots in the short. When looking at the camera angles used wi...

Research Blog: Comparing Le Jetée, The Short, And 12 Monkeys, The Full-Length Movie- Time To Get Down To "Monkey" Business

    Hello! We have returned once again to further our efforts in comparing short films to those that are fully developed into lengthy features. To do so, we have chosen two more pieces to compare, “La Jetée” and “12 Monkeys”.     “La Jetée” was originally a collection of black and white still photos; however, it was eventually adapted into a major motion picture under the direction of Terry Gilliam. Instead of keeping it in the likeness of flipbooks, the 1962 featurette, or photo-roman as its director Chris Marker refers to it, was completely readapted to fit the modern interests of Gilliam’s modernized audience in 1995. This meant that it underwent a complete makeover in terms of its visual aesthetics, although it did remain mostly true to the basic concepts of the film.     In the aforementioned featurette, Parisian society has crumbled under the devastation of World War III, leaving survivors to flee underground for safety. Throu...
