The first storyboard contains the the two sisters sitting on their couch together in their pjs with blankets ready to watch a movie. Then it zooms in on one of the sisters and the remote that she has in her hand. The camera then pans to show the television that is in front of them opening Netflix. They then begin to talk about what movie they want to watch, the screen pans to the television again showing them flipping through the movies in the horror section of Netflix. Then showing them again as they argue about the movie they want to choose.  The next storyboard contains the sisters eventually deciding on a movie to watch, this scene shows the television once again on the screen of the movie chosen. Then moving on to the starting of the movie, suddenly the movie is stopped. Showing the girls again, one says she wants to get snacks before the movie really begins. The camera pans to the kitchen, the girls then move into the kitchen getting all the snacks they want like popcorn and ...

A girl lives in a foster home where a small number of children are allowed to run around unattended in the movie Lucia. Though not colorless, it is somewhat gray. It's almost like there's a grey, brown mist over everything. Music isn't always present. It appears sparingly during the moments when the kids are being innocent, and toward the end, it takes on a more menacing tone more akin to a flatline than a musical score. The majority of the film is shot in close-up, with the camera moving to follow and observe the kids practically as if it were one of them. This is especially true for point-of-view shots. The protagonist of the movie spends a moment with the other foster kids in a heartwarming ending that makes up for most of the running time. The tone caught my attention. For the most part, it was gloomy but bittersweet. The performers are excellent; they effectively convey the feelings of the complex scenario. Both the children and their clothes exhibit signs of disrepair...

Clare pursues a girl, estimated in the description to be around eleven years old. Nonetheless, the performer appears to be around 14 years old, as do the other actors who are purportedly her age. Her classmates, who appear to share private sexual encounters they're a little too young for, exclude her from their activities. There are hints that she is one of the few POC pupils present. Until she has a private moment with a male classmate she likes, she feels excluded. That's about it; I didn't particularly enjoy this one. Although I felt the story was realistic, I disagree with it's message and possibly morals; it's an uncomfortable narrative; I am not sure if this was this the intended outcome. To be honest, I'm not sure, but I didn't think the story was good. The script was ok; it was somewhat based in reality. To a certain extent, I say this because the children are making far too much of the protagonist. The camera doesn't move around much, but it sti...

The setting is greatly influenced by the sound. It facilitates our ability to visualize the exterior setting in which the movie is set. Because the dialogue discloses the story's plot, it also advances the narrative. It aids in providing context for the interactions between the characters and explains why they are there in the first place. They don't employ any significant sound effects or editing methods. There aren't any other significant implications that the sound adds, aside from the diegetic and non-diegetic sound that occurs in scenes. This movie's mise en scene was really nicely done. Despite their lack of recognition in America, the actors did a good job portraying their roles. Their portrayal of a contemporary family life was helpful to the movie. Additionally, the props were expertly crafted and seamlessly integrated with the costumes. They were dressed for a little windy camping trip in the north. The area with the trees and leaves was a really well-made set...

I watched the 16-minute French-language short film "Fauve," directed by Jeremy Comte and set against the fascinating backdrop of Canada. It is a captivating work of cinema. Due to the language barrier, I had to rely on subtitles, which helped me understand the dialogue but sometimes took away from its subtle emotional impact. Two small boys who appear to be living alone in a barren area of town are the focus of the story. The way they interact turns into a battle for supremacy, with each win giving them an advantage over the other. An unsettling playground for their power struggle is the cement factory. They are interrupted from their game by a passing dump truck, and they enter a wet pit without realizing the dangers that lie ahead. The boys are having fun in the water, but they quickly realize that it will be hard to get out of the submerged area. One boy's impulsive behavior causes him to trap the other in the pit, which is a permanent mistake. The guilty boy is left h...

I learned more about how to create my own film by watching this video, "How to Make a Short Film."  Even though I had some prior experience making films, this video provided additional advice that will be useful to me as I continue to make short films.  In this video, a film specialist offers post-production as well as production advice.  I found two particularly noteworthy production tips: play with the audience's feelings and minds, and avoid it if you can't.  The advice to "don't do it if you can't pull it off" truly caught my attention.  The movie expert says that you shouldn't try to do something for the movie that you can't do perfectly. Incorporating unfinished content will only make your short film less accurate.  It will look less cool than it will if you add this awesome scene or feature to your movie, despite your belief that it will.  I will consider what I can and cannot accomplish with the resources I have when creating my story...

Le Jetee and 12 Monkeys Part 1: What goes into creating a good film is the video's main lesson.  Filming and editing are necessary for the audience to comprehend the narrative. The film's creation process and intended message are discussed in the video. In general, editing plays a big part in movies. The included pictures enable a clear effect for photographs. It's the shots and reverses that give the movie a sense. Long shots improve the visual experience for the viewer. More time was provided for the audience to examine the images. Every picture tells a different story. This movie travels back in time in a clear and understandable way for the viewer.  The video can also be improved by using audio. A gang of monkeys is trying to solve an issue. Viewers get curious as a result of this. The movie picks up speed toward the finish, revealing more information.  This heightens the suspense in the video. This will benefit my movie by increasing the tension in the middle an...

9 Let's begin by watching the short film 9. This movie had no dialogue and lasted only ten minutes or so. So far, this short film has left me thinking that it needs dialogue. This would significantly raise the caliber of this short film. It would become not only better but also simpler to comprehend. This short film had a lot of moments where I was lost. I had no idea where I was or what was going on. Without any dialogue to listen to, it was difficult to follow. All you could do was read the body language of these tiny characters. Alternatively, the tiny sounds the characters produced to convey each feeling. This is difficult given that they are tiny rag dolls. If it had this dialogue it would be more straightforward to comprehend, but they would additionally be able to add lots more. Film dialogue is very important. Without it, they might come across as unremarkable and as having been poorly constructed. I thought that, aside from the dialogue, this was a really decent little sho...
