Research: How To Make A Short Film

 What is your takeaway from the video?

    This was a great video to watch right before my group and I start really planning our short film. Out of the many key points that I’ll remember, I think my main takeaway was about planning. In the video, the speaker starts off by explaining why planning is so crucial. Planning ahead of filming is good because it sets a firm foundation for your short film. The speaker says that to write a good short film, you have to write what you can “pull off”. This means that you have to plan and write according to your budget and the resources that are at your disposal. This will alleviate the stress that will come from not being able to carry out the short film properly or as planned.

What good information did you gather while watching it?

    We received so much good information as well as tips for making our short film. Aside from my takeaway, other good information that we gathered from the video is that we need to establish a tone for our short film. The speaker stresses the importance of the short film’s tone. Every camera angle, location, lens choice, lighting choice, and wardrobe should complement the tone of the short film. If it doesn’t, then we will face the risk of ruining our film. We also learned that a good way to keep morale up is by keeping snacks or eating before filming. We all love ice cream so hopefully, we’ll grab a cone before we start filming!

How do you envision this helping you through your short film process?

    The information that we learn from the video can help our short film process in many ways. Applying this information will be vital since we do want our film to be of quality. Boosting our morals will make the short film process quicker. Additionally, planning ahead will most likely help our film look more organized. Thankfully, our short film will only require a small budget. I can’t wait to start filming with these tips!

My CR For The Short Film

  My CR Essay For The Short Film           A short film about bullying can effectively represent social groups and issues by highlighting the various power dynamics at play within a school or community setting. The film can depict how bullying often arises out of a desire to establish dominance over others, and how this can be reinforced by social hierarchies and group dynamics. By portraying these complex social dynamics in a realistic and nuanced way, a short film about bullying can spark important conversations about the ways in which social structures and systems contribute to bullying, and how we can work together as a community to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for everyone. Our Film uses the issue of bullying to show the audience the importance of sticking up for yourself. To this day, bullying is a major problem in society. It is seen mostly in schools, however, it can happen in the workplace, playground, or home. Bullying t...

Planning For My Music Video

Image
  Song: Somebody I Use To Know Props - For this music video, we decided on going for a story that follows a group of friends that slowly fall apart as one person drifts away. Since we want to capture a scene with the friends on the beach, beach towels, hats and beach balls will be present. Costumes - This part will be very easy in our opinion as we will have regular swimming wear or just causal clothing. Though their will be scenes that won't be on the beach so their might be changes in clothing. For the swimming wear, it will completely up to the actors of what they are comfortable on wearing this shoot. Nothing to covered or revealing will be disagreed upon as the actors concern worths more. I'm sure most outfits people would chose are short pants with a t-shirt. Schedule - Be aware that these dates might not accurate as we will need to see for ourselves if these can work with our schedules. 11/16/2021, our group will finalize our ideas of what we want for this project. 1...
