Short Film Research: Last Three Minutes/Drama

 

Common Sound in your genre

    Abrupt sounds were used throughout the film. Melodic sounds were also used. This

creates a soft but also engaging contrast to the film. The sounds used in this short film

created an airy atmosphere. This gives the audience the impression that the main

character is reminiscing but also living through the events. 


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

    The outfits of the characters in their designated scenes fit the settings. In one scene,

one can see parents outside. The sun is bright and they are wearing countryside attire.

Additionally, all the props fit the scenes except one outlier- the crystal shard. 


Common Editing in your genre

    The short film slowly transitions to other scenes. This gives the audience a sense of

peace. Watching the main character’s memories gently drift by tells the audience that

he is at peace. It is only at the end of the short film that the scene cuts suddenly. This

represents the end of what one can assume, is his life.


What elements of the genre that you like?

    We loved how emotional the short film was. In the film, one can see that the main

character is reliving memories. These memories seem to be important parts of his life.

We loved how everything from the tone to the theme of the short film complimented one

another.


What elements of the genre do not appeal to you?

    We did not really like how the memories were scrambled. Maybe having the memories in chronological order would've kept us more focused. It would also make more sense for the events to happen chronologically. Overall, the film was great! We learned a lot from watching this short film.

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...
