  This short film features sound, set design, and editing that are all relevant to our film. The diegetic sound is the first thing that comes to mind. This is a technique employed in drama films to communicate the film's emotions. The sound in this film is employed to convey the shock and anxiety he is experiencing. A non-diegetic sound is also used to depict the film's surrounding feelings. To make the viewers in shock, the film uses a dramatic entrance of the main character. Then there are gunshots and people fleeing to add to the film's unsettling atmosphere. The mise-en-scene in the film is inspired by the clothing. The man is dressed in typical street clothing, and the girl is dressed similarly. All of the characters wear the costumes that they are portraying, thus it is a true representation of their personalities. This is primarily utilized in drama to depict how characters ibehave and respond to emotions in their everyday lives and attire. Continuous editing was emp

  The film I chose to research was the last 3 minutes. This short film takes you through a tear-jerking flashback of a man's dying life. The short film the previous 3 minutes differs from our drama because in the last 3 minutes it displays a life drama meanwhile in our movie we display a sports drama. A Typical life drama would often be slower paced meanwhile our sports drama would most likely be a little bit faster.  sound can be used to assist in the creation of tension, mood, tone, and changes in rhythm. This short included little to no dialogue about his entire life showing his life early on and how he has progressively aged showing his adventures along the way, instead the dialogue is displayed through the characters' body language and emotions. This sound from within the film is both diegetic and nondiegetic, the diegetic coming from the different events such as the army or the new baby or the beach, and the non-diegetic coming from the background music trying to create a

Pommel/drama

  For this short film research I chose Pommel by Paris Zarcilla. Pommel is about two British-Asian gymnast brothers and draws on the filmmaker's own experiences of growing up in an Asian household in the UK. With an overbearing and disapproving father, the elder brother begins to take out his frustrations on his younger brother. Both Pommel and our short film are of the sports drama genere. sound can be used to assist in the creation of tension, mood, tone, and changes in rhythm. This short did not include much dialouge, most of the emotion and feelings were conveyed through the characters actions and faces. The short included mainlt diegetic sound. There was not much noise added to the movie. The use of mainly diegetic sound made the story seem more realistic. The director did however remove a lot of sound. This created tension and was able to focus your attention on the actors portayol of thier feelings. the most common clamps in this genere were close ups, over the shoulder shot

  For short film research I decided to watch the short film, Kiss Chase Ebele Tate. I looked for similarities between the drama genre and this film.  Common Sound: The film similarly uses non-diegetic sound to use calming music in most parts of the film. The film also uses background music to express emotion in the film. The film also uses sound effects which could be used in action films as well.  Common Mis-En-Scene: The film uses similar costumes to the drama genre with shirts and jeans. The film also uses the sun as a primary source of lighting to show the sweat on characters which brings out the intensity. Common Editing: Common editing between the film and the action genre is the use of lots of shaky camera movement and enhancement of images. The use of jump cuts are common in this film I like how the drama genre appeals to bringing out intensity in film which is not the hardest thing to do. Filming the drama genre also sounds extremely challenging but still fun. I think filming

Research: How to make a short film

  The short words are a teaser. Although the name sounds simple and fast, short films require a lot of time, effort and energy. I learned from this video that planning is one of the most important steps in the short film making process. One of the key planning points I took from this video is that it's very important to write for the genre of film you're trying to make. Now, that seems obvious until I think about it more deeply. When writing the screenplay and planning the production, it's important that we don't bite into more than we can chew, which means we don't try to put into the film what we know to be. I won't be able to do it. to create. For example, we have to make sure we don't go over budget and put in parts of the cost that are higher than we're willing to spend, and that we don't wri

  The 2 Short 9 blog begins with a very dark and unsettling backdrop. We quickly found that the genre is very similar to the action genre and contains many aspects of it. The whole movie is an action/horror. There are some jumping and fighting scenes. There is a lot of dark visuals as well as a lot of CGI like a typical action movie. The plot of the film is clearly short, because it is a short film so viewers are shown from beginning to middle of a longer story. It follows Character 9 as he seeks revenge against his friends and defeats the monster that once killed his old friends. There's actually very little character development, but one example is where character 9 was scared at first but now he's brave. Sound effects are an important part of the short film because there is no dialogue, but there are many unique sound effect
