Storyboard

  Page 1: This page introduces the short film. It starts off by showing the title, then the main characters during one of their classes. It also subtly introduces the plot and rising action. Page 2: The first three boxes on this page are a continuation of the first page. They close off the first scene. The last three boxes introduce scene two. This is when the turning point of scene two is introduced. Page 3: The third scene starts on this page with the transition of the clouds. This page basically introduces the plot within the plot. Since it is a dream, it is like another story. Pages 4-6: These pages continue the third through fifth scene. They feature a sequence of events occurring in the dream. Each scene in these pages are essentially when the climax takes place. Page 7: This page shows the end of scene five. It builds up tension and cuts after a tense moment. Page 8: This page acts as a transition between scenes five and six. It fades the climax away in the first three boxes, t

Our Plan

Image
  We plan to film our short film at different locations around the school. The first place we plan to film is on the track. This is where the establishing shot will be and the entire first scene will happen. The next scene will take place in the bully's room, this where the transition to the bully's dream takes place. The bully's dream will occur in the outside hallway of building 5. The final scene will happen in the bus loop. We will begin filming after winter break, January 3, 2022. The day back is an A day so we will try to film during al of our study halls. When filming isn't in process everyone will have on their masks for safety. There will be sanitizer for the cast to use whenever they touch anything. One of the main props will have are the bookbags they have on. Since they are teenagers they will also have their phones. The scene in the hallway will be the first one that we complete because everyone will be in class. As far as costumes, everyone can wear their

Convention Research: 12 Monkeys

Image
A short film can be made in different ways. For example, Le  Jetee was a series of pictures with audio that was narrating the story. A motion picture isn't the only effective way to portray the events in a short film. The pictures were used as visualization of what happened. The narrating voice was used to tell the story and create the plot. In some  cases  a short film is a remake of a  full length movie. In other cases, the  full length  movie is an extension of the short. It is used to add more detail, character development and depth to the story line. On the other hand, a short film can also be the  base of a  full length  movie. The video helps explain ways a short film can portray the plot more effectively. This can help with the short film process because it helps  explains  ways to portray a story effectively using only pictures and sound. As stated in the article, Le  Jetee  was a work of art. Le  Jetee  was created using unconventional methods. One of these methods being

Convention Research: La Jetée

Image
  This video gives advice on ways to better a short film. One thing the speaker in the video points out is to plan. This ensures he doesn't write a script for 10 people while only 3 people are in the short film. He also says to write everything that will occur. For example, the script, setting and plot of the short film. This is so you can know exactly what will be needed to complete this film. This also helps you to know what you need to go back and change. Another thing the speaker says is to do the opposite of your first instinct. The example he gives is that instead of having a figure showing in the mirror when the actor raises his head, he instead did nothing. He continues to explain that he does this because his first instinct is also what most viewers would expect to happen. So instead he chose to not go with his first instinct. This choice allowed more tension and suspense to build up for a later event. If he would have went with his first instinct the built up tension woul

Convention research: 9

Image
The short begins  with a  doll (5)  hitting  something on the ground. He then walks over to another doll (9). 9 is standing by broken light and 5 seems to have an idea. He goes into his doll body and pulls out items that are used to fix the light. Then a loud sound can be heard and 5 tells 9 to take the light and other things and hide. 5 tries to fight the mechanical monster but is defeated. His soul seems to get sucked into a disk like  object  that glows green.  Later  in the short film, 9 is chased by  the  mechanical monster. He is chased for several minutes until he has an idea which  ultimately defeats  the beast. 9 connects two glowing disks and frees the souls of dolls who  had the  same  fate  as 5. The setting is a gloomy and deserted dump where dolls live. The  full-length  movie begins with a man creating a doll until he eventually dies from a spark. The doll (9) comes to life and travels outside to a deserted and destroyed town. He finds another doll (2) who helps him to s

Convention Research: Nuit Blanche

Image
 This short film was very simple and short, but with a supernatural twist. Most of it takes place in slow motion and the entire film is in black and white. It begins with an establishing shot of the scene’s settings and immediately cues the non-diegetic music that plays throughout.  There weren’t too many different types of CAMS, CLAMPS, sound, and editing in this film. Since it is in black and white, it also isn’t that easy to distinguish the types of lighting. There is a lot of cutting between each character. Each cut either features a close up, mid shot, or full shot of the person. There are some over the shoulder shots that are used since both characters are looking at each other. The costuming is a bit more old school compared to now. That is mean to match the setting which also seems to take place in an earlier time. The props like the car also give away the time period because it is clearly an older car model. There is also some uses of zooming throughout the film. It seems to b
