FLUKES, OUR SHORT FILM

This semester we've made our first try (in my case second) of making a short film. We have really enjoyed it because becoming an actor or an actress is something that everyone has dreamt with at least once.

Here it is the result:

LITERARY SCRIPT: ''FLUKES''

 

Everything starts in the street when they are walking around. They see each other but they don’t have courage enough to start a conversation.

 

The first day of school he notices they go to the same high school when they cross in the break time but they can’t talk because the bell rings.

 

Another day the girl is going down in the elevator and the boy is going to take it. While she is going down, the girl sees the guy walking to the elevator, but a boy’s friend passes by and they go together climbing the stairs.

 

Finally one day in the school’s cafeteria they are sitting in different tables back to back, and whenever he’s going to stand up, his chair crash with hers, she turns and they stay staring at the other’s eyes.

 

Comments about the short films

EL SUEÑO DEL CARACOL / SNAIL'S DREAM:

About the technique, we can appreciate a really good one. We can notice that it's a professional short film because the actors get beneath the skin of the characters and make you forget about the fact that it's a short film. The best part of this one is the argument because without almost any word and no color, they  achieve to communicate a beautiful story.

HIMENÓPTERO:

If we pay attention and we see that the main argument of this short film sorrounds about the technique world of the cinema, we can say that here we can see all the shots, sequences and scenes almost ever created. I don'r really like this one because it's some kind of agressive, but it's really useful for understanding the world of cinema and its complexity (including the fights behind the scenes)

HIYAB:

Here we can see the technique about the dialogues and the interaction between the characters. It's a really short short film that talks about a common problem for muslim people in Europe. It's really simple because we can almost only see 'short reverse shot' and 'close-up'.

FÍSICA II:

That's one of my favourites. It looks like a part of a long film so we can say it's a profesional one. The argument is also really common between young people around the world and that make us feel closer to the characters. We can see good shots and good camera movements that make us forget that a camera is recording them, that, from my point of view, it's the main aim.

Fair's poster

 

This work, the final one, was great because we could create the poster of our famous fair that we can see everywhere every year. It would be great it to be the oficial one but for starting, it's a good beginning!

Fakes

This was the chance to realise about not believing anything that we see on the internet. Now I know how to change my friends' faces if any of them isn't looking as good as he should or put myself around the world even if I'm not there

Old damaged photos

This part of the work was a great chance to learn how to repair old potos and maybe give a surprise to our parents or grandparents fixing the photos of the people who can't be with us nowadays.

From black and white to colour

Giving colour to black and white pictures was really good because now I know how to change the colour of my favourite pictures and can understand how discographics change the clothes and all the album's covers

Coloured pictures

 

It was very funny for me trying to imagine and working as a cartoon designer, giving colour to a pair of lines and creating characters that in real life are the entretainment of children
