Research: How to make a short film

-

 Writing is the first step in making a short film. You must be able to structure a short film exactly as you want it to be successful. You must examine crucial elements of your story to determine what your story is; once you do, the theme will follow, and the movie will go smoothly. Gear comes next; when choosing gear, consider the emotions you want your viewers to experience. Be exact if you have fewer tools to work with when filming! When creating a short film, consider using animation; it adds a lot of interest to the production even though it is typically not necessary. Set the mood for your movie and incorporate it into every element of it, such as the setting, the characters' attire, and the camera angles and movements. Your movie loses confidence and appears disjointed without a consistent tone. Another important aspect of your movie is the casting. You will find it extremely difficult to sell your theme or movie if your performers aren't going into as much detail as you would like. Additionally, you will begin to lose faith in your movie. You must give your film your complete attention, and your team must always be prepared and ready for work. The audience will be able to tell if your team isn't fully committed to the outcome. In your movie, the sound is also crucial. You must record strong and immersive sounds to set the movie since they enhance the mood and assist the audience buy the movie. Avoid writing dialogue-heavy scripts for short films; instead, focus on your technical prowess. Overall, I learned how to build a good sort of film from this video. I gathered a lot of data, ranging from what you ought to anticipate as a director to what the public anticipates from the movie. I was able to work through everything in this movie step-by-step, beginning at the very top. I believe that I could incorporate every element of this video into my short film; I just need to affix the Poster's methods to fit my concepts.

"The Great Escape" and its conventions

 Being that it was shot in 1963, the quality of this film is noticeably different than the other two movies we looked at. Those are all considerably newer movies than "The Great Escape". One thing that I kept in mind while looking at this one was that this isn't a prisoner breaking out of a proper prison, rather  prisoner of war breaking out of a Nazi camp. Starting with mis-En-Scene, the costuming in this movie. The costuming was very spot on to the content. The costuming is accurate to the time and place, being a Nazi POW camp. The main supervisor/guard (Von Luger) is dressed properly in a Luftwaffe officer uniform, and the prisoners are all dressed in what they came in wearing. Being that this was a prisoner of war camp, the prisoners weren't robbed of their clothing, hair, or shoes, which the Nazis did in concentration camps. Additionally the set is very realistic. It was modeled after the true place (Stalaag III Prisoner camp), and the specific set is near identi...

Making Plans for Nigel -XTC

 Location: I plan to film mainly in the streets of Miami/Wynwood, but am also considering adding South Beach or Lauderdale by the Sea to my list of locations I really like the big city look of the Downtown Miami areas, whereas the artsy graffiti of Wynwood also really fits the song Costuming: Understanding that the lyrics and intentions of this song primarily applied to a changing youth, I began looking at countercultural movements. That being said, my idea of costuming is a mix of the 50's beatnik look, 70's punk look, and early 2000's hipster look. This means tight pants, preferably black or light washed denim jeans, flashy patterns/animal prints, stripes, leather boots or dress shoes, maybe some painted nails and messy hair, and chain necklaces Schedule: As of 11/16, I do not have a set schedule, however I plan to take a day from 11/20-11/28 and filming everything. I do have a relative time I'd like to film, and that's anywhere from mid-day until the evening.  Pr...

A study of Comedy

Comedy Common camera angles in your genre- The Push (Way Too Far) In: When the camera itself moves closer to a character, getting so close it hits them in the face The Pull (Way Too Far) out: The opposite of the way too far in, the camera itself moves very far back, which lets the audience know what's going on, usually provides context. It often goes too far out, which makes it comedic The "wait for it..."- when a camera stays still, often to mount tension or to build comedic effect if/when nothing happens Common Mis-en-Scene in your genre - In a comedy show, the soundtrack is generally more upbeat or bright, as opposed to the sinister tracks that are used more often in more serious television productions.  The costume designs in comedy shows can vary. Although the these shows don't often require some certain shades of colors in order to succeed, some shows use bright and vibrant colors to portray a sense of spontaneity. A great example of this would be the bright Gre...
