Short Film Vs. Featured length film

        One aspect within the short film which was not to be found in the long film was the insertion of sound. The short film contained no actual sound from the characters only having object sounds. The full length film contained around nine separate characters which all portrayed their own speaking voice, I believe that the short film was meant as soundless audio to only pertain what was going on. Unlike the longer lengthen film which create story plot and character development. Speaking of character development the short film portrayed two characters which were puppets numbered nine, and five, however with the long film there were nine puppets: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. The story spread out the characters with there own description in the featured film, each had their own definition. Nine was the antagonist and main character, eight was this big body guard for number one, number seven was a trained puppet useful to protect, six was a creepy misunderstood character who was crazy for a source of power, five was a one eyed character who built friendship, four and three where both twins who gained knowledge and where able to project it, two was an old man who was a technology creator, and finally one was a greedy scared little king. The short story never pertained to that type of development, only having two puppets, number nine and five and a robotic dog who was trying to kill them. The villains and or machines in both movies has very big differences. The expansion of the film had creatures like a robot dog, bird, spiders, snake, and the mother board a so called brain of intelligence. However in the short film the only type of machinery was a robotic dog. Another aspect to look at when comparing both movies was the scenery. Within the movie these puppets traveled to a variety of spaces, including a church, a room which creation happened, a bridge set out in the middle of nowhere, and an underground laboratory which held "the brain". Within the short film however the puppets only had two sections of the film, a junk-land and a broken down building. I would say that's an important difference due to the time each movie/film had portrayed. The featured film had a begging, middle, and end to the story and plot, however the short film had only a begging to an end story. The ending of that short film had an introduction to a bigger picture until the featured film. Now about which one I enjoyed most would have to be the featured film. This featured film had every good detail a animation movie needs, good characters and development, great special effects, and a good final detailed out plot which changes to scenery needed to explain. Any longer lengthen movie would turn out better than the short film, not to say that the short film was bad but it was more like the short film needed to be added on. This featured film had be rolling in certain emotions as I became scared, happy, angry, and sad all in one, unlike the short film where all I ended up being was bland with wanting more to see. Overall I enjoyed both and would love to see more creations in the film industry like this one.

Genre choice of film

Image
          My main genre was horror which is what i wanted my film to be based behind. I always loved horror as a child due to the thrills and chills you get while watching those types of movies, which is something i thought i can capture in a short film. Horror has many aspects to it, including music, sound effects, lighting, and jump- scares. All these aspects are key, the sound effects are what made me truly interested in it behind the fact that many sounds are created by random objects by a mic, for say a loud bang/ thunder is created by a loud hit to a mental trashcan, or bones crunching can be a large amount raw pasta broken at the right time. It just makes it a lot more fun to create your own sounds with objects you could find at home. My film itself is a film based on a character who wakes up alone with a task to find an object before time runs out. The horror aspect is behind the evil spirit which torments the character while he searches for this missing item. Lighting is anoth

Props revise

Image
           Today's blog will be about my steps to regather certain props for my film. Now this film is still in works from given spectator comments as well as my own personal opinion, so changing the props was necessary in the final film. The certain mistakes which played through the first take of the film came as not getting the correct clocks for the hallway scene, using the wrong version of blood, and getting a new mask/costume and painting. Now some of these weren't mistakes, however it was and will be improvements with the final week I have to work on this project. Getting straight into it I came across parts in my film where I knew it could have been better, both in filming and features. The hallway scene came to a surprise for me as I thought my work was perfect, but as I took a look back the clocks just weren't doing it. So as I mark down on my phone certain items to find while school ended I began the search for the perfect medium sized wall clocks. I checked multi

Editing process on Laptop Pt 1

Image
                The of editing of my end scenes as well as my pictures for my characters was being done on my phone. Now comes my first step/process of editing on my computer using editing apps. For these editing softwares, I decided to use two which were free and able to be accessed on my laptop. These two editing apps are called, "Imovie", and "FilmoraGo", however Imovie is the main one I used. I decided to go with these two since they were free and both were apple product editing softwares. In the future I may come across some type of software which works better which may be stated in my up coming blogs about my editing process. For now these work, they are simple and take clips and do as necessary by cutting them and inserting transitions from scene to scene. I kept Imovie, since my phone had the ability to access the app and transport over the edited clips so I went from there. My beginning process was trying to start on the editing of the first scenes which we
