Comparing Le Jetee, the short, and 12 Monkeys, the full-length movie

Part 1
While Le Jetee and 12 Monkeys are very different when it comes to plot, they have some similarities. They both use dim lights and are either black and white or have limited color. This shows that color schemes play a big part in creating a sense of atmosphere within the watchers. Also, using non-diegetic sound is very useful. Hearing noises that are related to what is being shown can evoke emotion. Happy, sad, or scared non-diegetic sound plays a huge part in this. Additionally, raw emotion from actors reflects that in recordings. The actors of Le Jetee really dove deep which really showed. All of this will help within the realism aspect when creating our short film. Even the use of low lit settings. In 12 Monkeys, the feeling of time is played with as the main character traveled from the past to the future.

Part 2
In La Jatee a variety of techniques are used. For one, the use of sound and color. The use of voice overs was really present within this short film. This bring us along on the imagination of the storyteller. Along with the use of monochromatic colors and unrelated images. However, the meaning is explained towards the end. This shows that not everything in your short film has to be explained at first. You can choose to leave it up to the watchers imaginations or reveal everything at the end. This really helps with the creating of our short film as we can be creative and think of to leave the watchers minds blown!

My CR

How do your products represent groups or issues The main character of our film is a teenage girl named "April". As a teenager most specifically a girl, there are a million and one things constantly running through. Such as, remembering to do the math homework or even watching the new episode of the popular show. Within our film, these common emotions are heavily promoted. We see the main character being forgetful which eventually cost her, her life. In order to break this trend, she must learn to be patient. While forgetfulness is a human trait. We all forget things from time to time. However, when our forgetfulness hinders our abilities to remain patient, we can regret it. Teens all around the world will be able to watch our films and feel represented. Additionally, Floridians are greatly represented within our films. Being Floridians ourselves we were prone to include some popular landmarks while filming. Publix is one of our filming sites. The cold green logo will stand ou...

My Pitch

       So here's my first pitch-     A group of teenagers, all from different cliques get brought together by a life-changing event that will keep them connected forever. Will they fumble? or rise to the occasion!      My next pitch is sorta similar but more action- A group of friends must resonate with their souls in order to defeat the ultimate evil. Bonded by fate, will these heroes save all of humanity?       For my first pitch, I would be interested in making it into a film because I feel as if it's versatile. It doesn't give too much but it still leaves something on your tongue. This could take place in a high school, camp, mall, etc. The options are endless. Also, the genre is ultimately action drama. However, with his pitch, it would be easy to add in some romance or even comedy. Still, a downfall is that there's no real cliffhanger.     I would be interested in making my second pitch due to the more fictional...
