 Back again, with a new short film experience. More original ideas for me, and more enjoyment for you when my movie comes out. Today's Short Film is SEE SAW. Below I answer some things about the comedy genre overall from the film. A. Mostly natural noises and background noises in this short. Like a phone ringing or dinging from messages. As well as tv or just the main guy talking. There's some upbeat music fills in the silent moments as the character does stuff.  B. The costume is just a basic clothing, at home outfit because throughout the movie he was home. However, in other comedies they may change more often. There's not a lot of make-up at least not prominently, in comedy unless you're trying to dress up as something maybe a monster or such. The lighting really helps show how the main character feels throughout everything happening in the short film. The only props may be the clock and the phone and other items around the house maybe even the car at the end. Which ...

 Today, I shall look over a short film. To make more original ideas for my movie. Today's Short Film is A SZIV KERTJE (The Garden of Heart). Below I answered somethings about the comedy genre overall from the film.  A. Upbeat, and usually speech of some form. As sometimes they crack jokes or make conversation. Sometimes it's more of a blurry noise in the background that is peaceful as people enjoy the jokes being spoking or the stories in the moment. The sound is supposed to give a happy feeling without blocking out the funny aspects going on throughout the movie. B. There isn't a lot of costume as this is an animation. There isn't a lot of make-up or acting as it is an animation. The Lighting show cases the facial movement and expressions of the characters, especially how their feeling in each moment. Which is important in most movies. There aren't really props but for sets, it goes scene by scene in a fluid motion. Each showcasing something that can been seen as f...

 Here is the next short film I watched. This is one's Title is Dotty. Below I have some thoughts from this film that will better my understanding of short film to progress my own. A. When the film isn't focused on the characters, the film uses music which is a cutaway from the silent moment of the characters. Which when paired with another recurring scene, creates comedy. Hearing a strange sound randomly creates a sense of unexpected comedy. B. The actors really fit their roles. In this film, you can genuinely believe that the old lady does not know how to use her phone, which makes it all the funnier (although a bit sad.)  The acting is realistic, which immerses the viewer deeper. Great immersion can make films funnier C. A close-up to a character's surprised face is common and funny.  Cutaways were used to distract the viewer, allowing them to process what happened D. I enjoy that inherently funny comedy can be paired with darker themes to pull your heart in both direct...

First time for Short Film Research Blog. Today's Title is Pennies from Heaven. Below I have the analyzation and some details which will help me improve the short film I make in the future. A.  non-diegetic sound in the form of music is used very frequently to express a mood.  Diegetic sound effects to show something happened. B.  They pay great attention to text anywhere, whether it is on a shirt or on a menu for comedic punch.  Outfits fit the environment, and a change of outfit can comedically show when an environment is different. C.  There are subtitles for a language barrier joke.  Many reverse shots to show the reactions of the sisters.  Extreme close up used to emphasize pennies which is used for comedy. D.  I love how the first character interaction we see is a joke, a bid crude, but the unexpectedness made me laugh.  I like the small jokes, that shows a lot of effort went into making it. E.  Naturally the problem with comedy is ...
