Short Film Research: Step Back /Drama

 a.Common Sound in your genre

Distorted (non diegetic sounds) when being dramatized for bad events


b.Common Mis-En-Scene (CLAMPS) in your genre

The costumes are casual for out scenes and actors wear Uniforms for school scenes

In this short film dark lighting was used for the dark characters (the one the 

director did not want the audience to like nor relate to) while light lighting was used for 

Characters had good intentions.

The props in this short film was represented based on the different accomplishments 

For example Trophies vs a stolen shoe. As the film progressed props associated with

 better accomplishments were shown more significance the characters development


c.Common Editing in your genre

Cutaway to show the character flashbacks and to travel in time

d.Example films of your genre

-vincenzo 

-bones 

-castle

- blood and water


e.What elements of the genre that you like?

Element in the short film i ,liked was the use of going back in time with the cutaway editing

 while adding the year, this heighten the suspense therefore dramatizing it. Essentially this

 Would lead up to the theme of the short film of second chances in life.

f.What elements of the genre do not appeal to you?

Even though i did like the travel back in time, this did confuse me. Because of this reason 

I will not like to incorporate this element in my short film, as i do not want to confuse my

Audience.

      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.

  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.

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...
