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 convey their pain or agony. And how wide shots were taken for example when the girl was standing by the taxidermy exhibition applying symbolism. 

                                                                                                                                                                       How do you envision this helping you through your short film process? These could help with a horror or thriller genre. But it could also help with short films to show how to convey emotions and values while having a storyline that’s interesting with plot twist at the end of the younger version of himself seeing the death of his older version. Overall the short film 12 monkeys helps with inspirational storylines of creating a short film and with how to convey emotions through shots.

Hello, my group and I have started researching for our short film. To better understand, how to make a short film, or what a short film is about, we decided to explore how to make a short film. I decided to research 12 Monkeys and La Jette. I didn't do the movie, I decided to read the Newspaper about these two movies. The article about La Jette was very interesting and I liked what the films were about, and why the audience's attention was grasped. After reading the article, my result was that it had a story and a history behind the story. In addition, the story also had characters that didn't deal with history and made the film draw the attention of the audience. However, the part about the 12 Monkeys was without limitations, and also explores the viral epidemic that is spreading, and for my group and I it allowed us to relate that back to Covid 19. We have also decided that this is a great science fiction film.  While reading the article we have gathered, that even though we got the basic information about it as well as the scientific aspect of it we feel as though, we missed information because we didn't watch the movie. Yet. However, as we read we realized that the filmmakers did put a twist on reality so the audience could relate to the problems they may be facing in life. We also noticed that the author that write the article supported her opinion with, titles from different movies. Such as, 28 days later, Contagion, and Brazil. We also noticed that the mis.en.scene and the farming of the movie 12 monkeys are indications of time travel and futuristic. The article even went into a deeper understanding and stated that the people of lesser social standing came to distrust their

      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...

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...
