Short Film Research Blog: Pennies From Heaven

 


Common Sound

  • Non-diegetic sound in the form of music is used very frequently to express a mood.
  • Diegetic sound effects to show something happened.

Common Mis-En-Scene

  • 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.

Common Editing

  • 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.

Which Elements I Enjoy

  • 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.

Which Elements I Dislike

  • Naturally the problem with comedy is that it's objective, so of course I may dislike some jokes.
  • I personally don't like how sometimes jokes play out too long. For instance, one line may be a joke and there doesn't need to be someone to explain it

     Good morning and good evening! Hello, I am Alexandra Soto, I am a artist, though I mostly focus on sketches and as such a have many different favorite artists of all different types. My favorite music artist are Ricky Montgomery, The Living Tombstone and Mitski. Although for the last two I only listens to patches of albums. My favorite physical artist (painter) however is Alexandre Cabanel, as my favorite artwork of his is his 'Birth of  Venus.' My favorite animals are Blue Jays, Sunbirds, Long Tailed Tit, and mountain Bluebirds. With all those colors you'd think my favorite color is blue, but its not, its Naples yellow and wine red. I just turned 16 3 days ago, on the named, sweater day or December 3rd. I have 3 siblings. two older, one younger, two sisters, one brother. I haven't seen my oldest sister and younger brother in a very long time. I actually haven't seen them in so long I have no idea HOW to spell their names. We are all hispanic so while my sister...

    Good morning and good evening! Today I will be talking about who I'm working with for this music video project. I will be working 3 other people: Kaylee West, Honey Savage and An Alysse McComie-Waterman. Side note, I'm just here writing this and all I can think are "wow, these people have cool names." Anyway I choose to work with these people because we are all friends. We all have similar interests and we can often talk the whole class period about a certain thing if you let us. We also have Media AICE at the same time and it makes it infinitely easier to communicate. Having it at a different time would put strain on getting things done, verse asking them to do it in class. It also helps us get things done quickly and I can ask important question and get immediate answers instead of waiting in a group chat. We do still one have- well two, one for us (the producers) and another for the actors that are going to help us act and be extras in the video. Luckily we all...

    Good morning and good evening! When being told about the Final Task we got to work with people. Like last time I have decided to work with An Alysse McComie-Waterman, not the other people however. I trust An Alysse the best to not procrastinate and to hold the load of the work with me. This is because while I liked working with the others, it got really stressful when people waited until the very LAST minute to finish things. Heck sometimes I had to push for it to be finished. I swear I got a white hair or two on the last day of working. An Alysse is my friend, we've been friends since the beginning of the year. We also have AICE media studies at the same time so it makes the most sense to work with her. It makes it much easier to ask for things to be done, plan things out and work together. We both have similar taste in humor, shows and movies so it'll be really easy to get an idea for what we want to do. Or at least something we'll both have fun doing. We haven't ...
