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

I will be comparing more films together. This time I chose Le Jetee the short and 12 Monkeys the full-length movie. 

 Part 1 : The photo novel was pretty dark which had black and white photos giving it that vibe. The sound in the 12 Monkeys really helped tie it all together giving the viewer a unique experience. A take away from this is to pick each element with care as it should all work together in harmony to make my short film more enhanced and pleasing to watch. 


I read an article that further gave its idea on both films.

Part 2: I agree with the article and the others' ideas on the movies being similar due to the 12 Monkeys being a homage to Le Jetee. I took away from this that it would be nice to take ideas from other successful films and make it into a grand idea.

Along with those elements specifically the genre, I want it to be so that it isn't your typical mystery plot twist where it'll be easily identified by the viewer. I want to create an actual shock factor in the end, so I'll make sure I execute the film carefully. Especially with the plot I chose, I feel like it'll be easy to get off track I will make sure to stay on track w...

CCR - The End

  CCR My short film showcased the way mentally ill liars can affect others in society. This sheds light on liars in society which it isn’t really much reflected on. The main character in the short film would not stop lying about her life experiences to her previous friend group. People like this in society are not seen as good people. You can never know whether they are lying or not. This caused a rather untrustworthy feeling towards her causing them to feel different about her. Which is understandable because being friends with someone who can never be honest with you is rather exhausting. It was to the point where they had to stop being friends with her. This can be related to real life problems where people in the media constantly lie about their lifestyle for attention, but then it is then revealed that they actually never lived that way. Neither did they have those experiences happen to them. This can be seen when the main character in my short film encounters her next group o...
