Short film research: A Love Story That Doesn't Feel Right | A Horror Proof of Concept Short Film

 In this short film, the sounds, angles, movements and editing were all shown very well to help establish the genre. These conventions are used for the horror genre. In this horror film, a VoiceOver was played throughout the whole film. This created a tone of curiosity for the audience. The guy who is using a VoiceOver is the boyfriend of this girl they are filming. This whole film is showing a point of view shot of what he sees of her. She has turrets from the dialogue in the film it states. In the film, cutaway shots were happening showing this. It showed her constantly making the same head movements and hand movements over and over again. Then a scene was showed of her making movements with her face but in relapse. It made her face go 10x faster and made her look even scarier. Close up of her face after taking the pill showed the audience her in a stare. At the end of the short film a medium shot was filmed in a dark setting of the girl writing something. A zoom in showed the paper saying " Please let me out" and said Emily when that isn't her real name. He then realized its not the girl he thought and this led the audience in a shock. I liked this short film because it kept me intrigued the whole time. The point of view shot was very interesting because you got to see everything in his eyes. The elements that didn't appeal to me was the constant cutaway shots. It almost happened to often. This had me confused at a point because I didn't know where the film was going with this.

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

Image
  In order to research and prepare for making my short film, I compared a short called Le Jetee and an article that describes 12 Monkeys. Le Jetee is a short film and 12 Monkeys is a full length movie based off of the film. My original google search gave me a description of Le Jetee and I think I will like it a lot. Short Film: To be brutally honest, Le Jetee left a mediocre impression on me. I like the foreign feel of the film and the introduction felt like where I got the bulk of the information. It was hard to process everything after the introduction, to be honest. There was so little and so much going on at the same time if that makes sense. There were images throughout which were kind of confusing but it made a bit of sense after I looked up how old this film was. I really didn't get the plot other than the parts with like time travel and Paris. It may have been a dystopia but I couldn't really tell. This might help with my mystery genre with the style of Le Jetee. I want
