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

Le Jetee and the remake of 12 Monkeys share many similarities, as you'd expect from the remake label, but they're also completely different in how they're produced and presented on screen. Le Jetee is an odd movie in that it's not really a fluid movie, but rather a still-image photonovel about a post-nuclear war time travel experiment. 12 Monkeys, on the other hand, is a movie about a prisoner sent back in time to gather information about a man-made virus that wiped out most of the planet's population. Both films can be extended to the sci-fi genre as many films are set in a futuristic world with time travel. One of the biggest takeaways from this video is that as long as the remake is done right, you can live with the feel of the original movie. This is relevant to our project in that we can take certain aspects of a well-made film and use them as inspiration and guidelines for our project to create a film that resembles Hollywood-level cinematic production. doing. Other information gleaned from watching this video is mixing genres to create a more dramatic atmosphere. Using the example of the movie 12 Monkeys, the video shows how to take a sci-fi thriller and incorporate aspects of doomed romance to dramatic and emotional effect. I think we can incorporate that into our films in some way to add emotion to our films.

the last step is peer review. Now that i finshed editing all i had to do was get feedback, and fix what needed to be fixed. teh first people that wastched was my group. Naturaly. Then i showed my parents. Then lastly my friends. And my friends parents. the reception was great. But i encourageed them to be more honest. There were some easy fixes. One of them was the score. It was a little lackluster. Becuase i never got the rights to the song i wanted to use it was a struggle. I had to look through royalty free music. BUt it all seemed so bland. Like an ad. not a movie.SO i went back and looked more. I decied that the score with the use of no sound. And diegetic noises i could create more emotion. I finshed up editing and showed them once again. Much better.

- For the thriller genre option, Shutter Island uses extremely wide shots to show where the film is taking place. They use wide shots to show multiple people walking at a certain time. The mid shot shows the character looking directly at you. The high angle shows them walking through the rain. The low level shows the contrast between the colors.

The Dark Knight - A common camera camera angle used is a close up. Close ups like in the scene where the joker is being interogated, or when the detective is leaving the room. This shows emotion is the charcters. Another common angle used is the dutch tilt. THis creates a sense of uneasiness for the audience and foreshadows to what might happen next. Over the shoulders shots are commonly used to. They show equality between the charcter, adn even though they are fighting, they are equal to each other. The lighting used is dark, creating a menacing and dangerous mood symbolizing the jokers character to the audience. Batman was dressed in his superhero coastume which is all black to create fear, adn whn he was not wearing his batman costume, he was wearing a dark suit, to still keep the dar mood. The dark mood was also elevated by the setting. Low, dark lights and rain were added to the scenery of a tall city. The acting was very serious as comomn for the genre. Props used were weapons,...
