Comparing Le Jetee, the short, and 12 monkeys, the full length movie

 



Today I would like to talk about the comparison between La Jetée and 12 Monkeys. I found Le Jetée to be a fascinating lo-fi sci-fi time travel story.  Le Jetée is considered a photo novel and  not fully a film. A cumulative power is created when images flow together with sound. In fact, the entire film is a meditation on the passage of time. Le Jetée has more than 400 images, some of which are repeated, but it is the variation in  usage that makes the overall effect so effective clean cuts for traditional shots, orientation for reverse shots, and dissolves or dissolves for a more dream-like atmosphere. Long retention times allow you to capture and explore specific images. Sound is usually used very subtly, and sometimes visual elements are emphasized more clearly. Both 12 Monkeys and Le Jetée reach their climax with the description of a child's haunting vision of witnessing the death of his own adult. Terry Gilliam in 12 Monkeys used distorted wide angles to convey a distorted view of humanity. 12 Monkeys attempts and achieves something unusual by fusing genres from intellectual sci-fi to paranoid thriller to doomed love story. “12 Monkeys'' was a sophisticated Hollywood studio project with an ancient anarchic sensibility and featured outstanding and heartfelt performances by a perennially underrated troupe. Chris Marker's film stills come to life, and it can be said that this is the picture in which Roman overcomes the vertigo of time and transforms it with his words

 "Le Jetée" is simple in content, but its content is very deep. Terry Gilliam expands on Le Jetée's ideas, giving his films a more technical edge. The most moving part of Le Jetée is undoubtedly its exploration of the power of memory. The influence of the most moving parts of ``Le Jeté'' plays a major role in the plot of ``12 Monkeys,'' with the two protagonists' shared memories influencing the film from beginning to end. Thanks to this video, I was able to better understand the nature of photo novels and  visualize the filming and recording of Le Jeté and his 12 Monkeys. While this article has helped us understand the nature and style of these two films, the production processes for these two films are so different that their intricacies are interesting. The article and video showed how different aspects of the screenwriting, filming, and post-production process can deeply capture  the overarching theme of the resulting film. Thank you for tuning in!

How to make a short film

  "Write what you have the resources for" is a powerful adage to follow when creating plots and screenplays. We can only write with what we have we are limited in what we can do due to the lack of cameras and microphones for filming. I know it takes time to edit and pace a movie since you only have 5 minutes, you have to be careful about how much to photograph and how much to cut. Overshooting is the best option, but you need to make sure the plot     doesn't need to be fully fleshed out to make sense. There needs to be     some balance, every scene needs to contribute something towards the ending, there's no room for fill-in-the-blanks. Also, the movie isn't very predictable, but it could use a Groundhog Day-type plot, which makes this difficult. While adhering to the theme of the story, there are bound to be     scenes that the audience doesn't expect. Theme determines the plot and must be understood by the audience. You also need to maintain tone ac...

Intro Blog: The Nerves

Hello, it's me again. I prepared myself mentally  for this particular project. I was completely nervous about this project before, but now I think I'm ready. I'm a little worried, but overall I'm calm. I'm worried that my job will be unstable, that something will go wrong when I shoot, that the image will be problematic. I may have some questions, but overall I'm looking forward to filming and getting back on set. I was nervous before because I had no experience creating videos like this. Now that I'm working alone, I'm even more nervous. This time, no one gave me constructive criticism or stood out. After talking about it and learning more about it, I felt calmer and less nervous. Because I knew I couldn't get lost. Instead, I wanted to be prepared for whatever was to come. After subsequent projects I gained some experience that I will definitely use for this project. I learned how to properly edit, how to make camera angles and movements look beaut...

Group Blog: Going Solo

I’m back and ready for something new. I decided to switch it up and this time I chose to work alone. I have tried to work with others before and although it wasn’t bad I feel as if I want to go at my own paste. Something I didn’t enjoy with working with someone else was having to depend on them. I rather be working independently and that way I know I’m doing the best I can do. Working by myself can benefit me in many ways, working alone allows me to take full control and make decisions without relying on others. I can develop a strong sense of self-discipline when working independently, as I’ll need to stay focused and motivated. I have the freedom to set your my own schedule and work at my own pace, which can be a big advantage. Working alone gives me the space to explore my own ideas and think outside the box without any external influences. Achieving tasks and reaching goals on my own can boost my self-esteem and confidence in my abilities. Working independently allows me to learn n...
