How to Make a Short Film

Image
     There are a few things that are necessary to take into consideration when planning for a short film; plot, resources, actors, and sound.      The fundamental thing to perfect is the plot as that is what our short film relies on. More importantly, a realistic plot. It is impossible to make a film with 13 plot twists, diving into all genres, and focussing on a wide array of characters. Instead of being overambitious, as teens tend to be, filmers should focus on one conflict, a few characters, and not add any extra action than there needs to be. A nice idea to keep in mind is to not overdo it or under do it. With short films, there’s about 5 to 15 minutes to make magic on the screen. This time should be utilized in giving audiences a well thought out, cohesive plot.       Resources are just as important as plot and are often a major decision factor. As high school students we don’t have access to CGI, special effects, pyronetics, or in...

Creative Reflection

Here is my Creative Reflection on my short film Suspicion Critical Reflection.docx How do your products represent social groups or issues?   My product represents a few social groups in today’s society . Firstly, there are the vast cliques of my audience. One group is detective/police show lovers. Through my plot, which tracks the lives of two detectives, the film represents the classic format that enjoyers of detective movies such as The Fugitive and Hot Fuzz love: two detective partners, a new clue, and a plot twist.

I created Suspicion to represent this genre and the fanbase that comes along with it; people who appreciate the art of how angles, shots, and story create a thriller.     However, on...

Title Research: Art of the Title Website

Image
     Overall , we found this site very helpful in viewing the d ifferent fonts, backgrounds, and themes within title cards. The search bar was very helpful in allowing us to find how title cards look like for different key words.        For “Gothic” it is a common trend that the font of the title is either very thin with flared ends or thick and bolder. The background is very dark, shows wooden landscapes, or has a peculiar theme to it. For “ Romance” most of the title fonts were funky, round, bolder, and had a pop out shadow to them. Unless they were romantic dramas which then i t was very simplistic and thin . The backgrounds either had various establishing shots with movement (people doing stuff ) or were entirely animated. Either way, the background and font went hand in hand to a very specific theme that each movie had whether it was more comedic or more dramatic. For “Vampires” the fonts had a fun, creepy vibe to them as they were typically...
