We started off first with watching the short film,9. It was only about 10 minutes long and there was no dialogue during it. When I first watched the film, I thought that there would be some dialogue. Doing, or having would increase the quality of this short film greatly. Not only would it make it better, but easier to understand what the plot is. There were many times throughout this short film where I didn't know what was happening. I didn't know what was going on or the plot throughout the whole film. It was hard to follow without any dialogue.I had to resort to watching the characters' body language in order to understand what was happening. Maybe the little noises the characters made for each emotion would have been better. But that isn't very easy when they're little rag dolls. If it had this dialogue it would be easier to understand, but they would also be able to add lots more. Dialogue is a major contribution in films. Without it, they can almost seem pla...
The short film starts off with a girl in her car singing a song. It goes on for about a minute. She gets to a location outside of a gas station and gets out of her car after turning it off. The title shows and the music fades out. It shows a focus on the steering wheel, with the background blurred. It shows people going in and out to make the time seem like it's going back longer than it actually is. When the girl comes back, the camera shows a close up of her jets going into the ignition. She tries turning her car on but it won’t work. A lady bangs on her window, yelling at her in Chinese and it shows a two-person shot of them screaming back and forth. She calls her mom, but you only see one side of the conversation, however you hear both, so there is a non diegetic sound. There is an overhead shot to show the location. There is also a jump cut when they show her car battery not turning on. The actor calls triple A, but at the word of her dad silence starts. Makes it seem like h...
The video goes through what it takes to make a short film. The takeaway is to get creative. Make only what you can pull off. This is important because we will not have the money or steup to make some details we might want to add. So we will have to only write what we can accomplish. Creating a setup and payoff we create interest for the audience. Between relationships or things it is important to set up and pay off. Do what your audience will not expect. This will help us create a more unpredictable film. Wherever comes to our mind first may come to the audience's mind first as well so we have to do something else. Geer is something we may not have much access to but that will not limit us. We will have to make everything towards what we can use to film. Create a vivid story board and filming plan, but we may not have to stick to that. We can go off the plans if things do not go as expected while filming. With the limited sources we may have we will not be completing exactly what...
