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

                       W elcome back to my blog reader! Looking at La Jetée by Chris Marker the short and 12 Monkeys the full-length film by Terry Gilliam. My takeaway from the video is that both films might have their differences but still carry the same message, just one is the shorter version and the other is the longer version with more modern ideals. Moreover, some good information that I gathered is that   the short film La Jetée is a photo-novel that consists of still-images that have a voiceover and non-diegetic sounds.

Research: How to make a short film

                     Welcome back my blog reader! After watching this video , I was able to receive various tips on how to make a short film and what to keep in mind before/ while making one. For starters, some good information that I gathered while watching the video was that for instance one writing advice that I would like to keep in mind is that the speaker in the video explained that “If first you want to go left, go right instead” which means that whatever I think should happen next is probably what the audience is expecting that is going to happen therefore I should do the opposite of what is expected in order to keep that element of surprise and maintain the viewer engage. For Instance, if there is a scene where a jump scare is expected, I should d o the opposite which is to do nothing and save that wonderful jump scare for another scene where the audience is not expecting it and are caught off guard thus main...
