First day filming and difficulties

To begin with, we had some difficulties gathering our props before we began filming, so we had to revert to our backup plan of substituting soda. After 20 minutes of hustling and worrying, we finally started filming. We jumped right into the first scene, which was at the vending machine, practicing camera angles, shots, and positions, as well as memorizing lines and tones. With the first scene, we had to do a few takes before we were comfortable with what we had. We watched the clip, suggested some home-editing tips, and then moved on to the next scene with actress 2. In between we took a short shot of just the product for edit to do at home. We shot the second scene on the cafeteria's outside (senior patio). Actress 2 went through the same process as Actress 1, memorizing words, tones, and postures. It took a few tries before we were satisfied with the result. Both actresses have to be in the shot for the final scene. This scene was placed between the two previous ones. To film both actresses, we placed the camera on a stable surface, adjusted the angle to our liking, and hit record. Because both actresses had the same line, we rehearsed  together and did a few takes until we were happy with the result. We both sat down after filming  to begin editing, putting clips together, adding background music, correcting brightness, and so on. We managed to get a few things edited but we need to do some reshooting. At the end of everything we had a drink and went back to class to go over some last minute things for the commercial. As side from having to substitute our drink, everything went according to plan.

      In the short film it addresses the issue of selfishness and taking someone for granted. In the beginning of the film, it starts out as a moment of rekindling of friendship between the two characters, where they highlight each other on significant moments in their life separate life and the one they both shared before. By this the audience gets a grasp of the two personalities of the characters and as the film develops and the scene changes the audience also gets to grasp the unfavorable traits of each character. For example, in the film, the first encounter of the issue was the character going inside the house to get changed, and the other waiting outside for a long period of time, which showed how one character was acting selfish in regard to other character waiting outside. In the progression of the film, we see that this behavior continues but it gets continuously worse overtime, and eventually both characters engage in an active and direct argument over the issu...

Comparing Le Je Tee, the short, and 12 monkeys, the full-length movie

  Video:  What is your takeaway from the video? 12 Monkeys is a 1995 science fiction film that tells the story of a time traveler from the future who is sent back in time to prevent a deadly virus from wiping out most of humanity. The film explores themes of determinism, the potential consequences of time travel, and the importance of human connection. One of the key takeaways from the film is the idea that our actions, no matter how small, can have far-reaching consequences. The film also suggests that the future's not set in stone and that it can be changed through the choices we make in the present. Additionally, 12 Monkeys highlights the value of human relationships and the power of love to overcome even the most dire of circumstances. What good information did you gather while watching it? While watching the video I recognized clamps such as zoom ins to a medium close up when the woman is being shown in 12 monkeys. And how the shots of the people were taken closed up to c...

I am working with Nurdlie, a friend that I recently made. We share a lot of similarities and have the best time together. I chose to work with Nurdlie because I trust her with my grade. She is responsible and reliable. I trust that I can rely on her for help and support. She also shows a lot of commitment to her work. She is a visionary and I am a strategist, which made me think this was a good balance for a team. We’re skilled in different things, which I think could be helpful for this project. This way we can combine our ideas to make something that represents us. We share different ideas and perspectives and tell the honest truth about what we think of each. We tell each other when we make mistakes and improve on them. We work really well together. Nurdlie is also very time organized, which could keep us both on top of the schedule. Communication and efficiency are one of our strongest components, we keep each other updated and put time and thought into our work. We are both very f...
