Hey Bloggers, it's Laudjah! I've missed writing these blogs and I'm happy to get into this "groove", lol. I'm so excited to start filming this short film. I've had a couple set backs so I couldn't start filming when I originally planned to. Doing this film by myself as been a challenge that as lowkey been hard to conquer. Finding people that want to be in something they get no type of compensation for is hard. They don't fully the importance of this project/class. They people I originally planned to film with, well 2/3 or 4 have been pretty compliant. Others unfortunately just see this as a fun project. As it will be fun to make, it's also important that it doesn't just look like a "fun" mini film, but something that represents all that I've learned. It keeps getting shut down or being put on the back burner for some. As I'm writing this, I'm coming to the realization that I need to find people that maybe took the clas...
Hey bloggers! As I mentioned many times, I worked on this project in a group of just one. Let me open up on my thoughts and experience with doing that. I can say I’m glad I worked alone. It allowed me to get a better understanding of this course. Also, with technology as it was very important to complete this. Although I procrastinated, it showed me that nowadays the softwares provided are very efficient. CapCut was a great editing software to use as it allowed me to quickly and efficiently create a film. There were a lot of downsides to it as well. Since it was a group of one, I had to find people that fit my storyline. I originally planned for a boy to play my love interest, but the people I depended on weren’t able to. This really affected my project as that was the main plot. But in the end I decided to make my girl friend play the role, and I'm going to make her a representation of trans inclusion. It was too late to switch because I previously filmed scenes where I us...
Hey Blogger! I watched a video comparing 12 monkeys and La Jetee, and it was discussing how the film naturally extends the short, by building on the original ideas. The video also touched on how both films explore the inevitability of certain events. In La Jetee the protagonist is caught in a loop, unable to change the outcome. In contrast, 12 monkeys takes this concept further, with the main character attempting to prevent a catastrophic event. The way time is portrayed in both films is very important to their themes, and the video highlights how this theme is central to both works. The video showed how manipulating time plays a critical role in storytelling. A central theme in both films is time travel, but La Jetee uses photography to reinforce the unchanging nature of time, while 12 monkeys builds on this ability to alter past events. I got the understanding that time manipulation drives the plot and can add emotional depth to the storyline. (Comparison From Article) Adapting La Je...
