Short Film Research: ( Migrants/ Drama)


     This short film was 8 minutes long and the plot was pretty easy to figure out basically there were polar bears being pushed out of their home lands due to global warming and exiled from brown bear territory being left to fend for themselves on the ocean. In the beginning of the short there was a climax point where the baby polar bear fell of the ice and into the water from the ice breaking and the mother jumps after the baby. This was a great way to start the film it immediately introduce the drama factor that a film should have lots of heart racing and anticipating moments. There was a conflict with the polar bears and the brown bears over food and the was another great way to help deliver a message. Although it is animated the film didn't use and real dialogue just animal noises such as grunts and snorts and well as instrumental music in the background.
    It reminds me of how lonely many of us are. It can be interpreted as a political manifesto, a fact that can detract significantly from its first allure. It's a story about children and their parents, with optimism and dread as possible outcomes. It's accompanied by lovely music and deft character work. However, it is essentially a reminder. Not simply in terms of migration and policies to address it, which are frequently radical, but also in terms of how to discover the other. There is precision, and also the fish are scaled in a herringbone pattern; light shines across sparse fur. This is a place where there are fences and lines, uniforms, and rules. There are enough textures in a simple story that when they are replaced by the flare of reality, it does not feel out of place. In a picture whose transcendence is heightened by a lack of dialogue,  the fragrance of breath. 
    That layered fore-, mid-, and background, the counterpart and depth perception that contributes so much to sell the illusions of motion, not just in crowded shots across bustling forests. The rusting wiggle of creaking tin serves as a temporary shelter as well as a striking shield. What causes bicycle wheels and tin cans to appear among the ordinary waste on the forest floor? What is the meaning behind the vest the brown bears wore? What does the TBPD stand for? The message behind this movie stood out more than your typical animated films and this I believe was a perfect film to help gain some clarity and more experience on drama films. 
    The amount of questions one would have about the ending of the short film you'd wonder what happens next you're sad and concerned about the polar bears being exiled and would love to know how it ends for them. Did humanity do something to save the species in the end when the baby washed up on the beach ? These are the types of things that kept the film interesting and to the point. The political quota is there but there is also and emotional connection for animal lovers, environmentalists, and other different support groups that this short 8 minute film appealed to with such a little time frame.

Production blog: Multiple Exposure discovery

    So its been a while since the last update and things haven't gotten very far but there are some positives that have happened. We were able to pick a location that satisfied most of our needs with out the hassle of needing permission to film and be on park grounds. We thought to see if we could find more actors but it was harder than expected. Seeing as everyone would have to have their own transportation and our filming would have to fit into someone else schedule. This made it harder on us but we kept searching.       So we had someone but the plans ended up changing when that person was no longer available. We understood that sometimes circumstances change. So, now we are all just planning a day to set up and film. This consist of making sure we have the camera set and all phones charged. Also having battery packs for the camera ready.       We definitely can't forget mask for covid-19 protection. An lastly, its key to having a fir...

Commercial Blog: Nike Vs. Under Amour Grand Finale

 I thought I would be fine using the Nikkon D3200 camera as this laptop has an SD card slot but the problem I had was that my SD card didn't fit in the slot. During my editing is when I realize that I have another clothing brand appearing in the finished ad. So I took the opportunity the next day to tweak the film so that it finally shows the images of both brands in one to let others know that this is a collaborative promotion. The reason is that it allows a certain message to be shown in the ad. So from my imagination I was able to sum up a few last-minute moments and since one of the actors doesn't own anything from the Nike brand I made a little tweak to allow two different brands to co-exist in my ad.       The two brands I choose are Nike and Under Amour. I would leave it alone if I don't see the logo but I can recognize it on one of my actor's shirts while editing. I plan to dub or add music to the ad to make it fun while the ad continues. Each actor put ...

For example, a musical that has romance incorporated into it includes singing and it helps exaggerate the feelings the characters may have.  Sometimes there may be a sou...
