Comparing Lee Jetee, the Short, and 12 Monkeys, the Full Length Movie

Image
Chris Marker's 1962 short film "La Jetée" was modified by Terry Gilliam in 1995 to become the feature-length blockbuster "12 Monkeys." Instead of calling his own dystopian narrative a movie, Marker called it a photo book. The film consists of a number of still photos with voiceovers. It has a detached narrator who seems unconcerned with the current situation, which lends a more remote air to a tale about nostalgia for the past . Similar to La Jetée, 12 Monkeys was created by fans of the film and is a purposeful, reverent reworking of Marker's original plot, themes, and concepts. La Jetée is a fascinating low-fi sci-fi time-travel story told in these vignettes, in which a Parisian World War 3 survivor is transported back in time to save mankind before the earth was radioactively destroyed. This editing was exceptional because of its high-concept, action-focused nature. The nameless man in 12 Moneys is chosen because of how tightly he holds onto a picture, s...

Intro Blog

     Hello, my name is Nicole Miller. I am 16 years old and a sophomore in high school. I have learned a lot since I started taking the class last semester. I am very excited to start my final task and be able to better myself in filming and gain other skills within the process. I currently spend time a lot of time with my mom and my dog, Hercules. When I am not with them, I am either at school or at dance. I dedicate a lot of my time to competitive dance because that is my passion. I spend about 6 days a week practicing for competitions and conventions that begin in February. However, I do not think I would pursue dance as a career past college because I would like to be an attorney in family law when I grow up. Many people ask me why I chose this and why family law, but I want to pursue this career because I have been a key witness throughout my parents' divorce and found an interest in other divorce cases I have learned about. I am currently in the PreLaw program at my...

Our Pitch

Image
Pitch A: A teen girl fakes her emotions throughout her day and has a mental breakdown at home secretly  liking it. Then she finds and notices two unexpected things.  My group and I found this pitch very intriguing and doable unlike pitch B because of location  limitations. We think that this pitch is exciting and has a plot that is not seen often. We liked the  unexpected factors and the concealing aspect of the pitch. We can picture creating this pitch in a film and  have already planned out details by just talking about it. Also, we do not truly have any limitations with  this pitch, we can expand on it and be creative. We thought that the beginning part of the pitch that states  that a girl fakes her emotions is something that we can relate to and have been through allowing us to feel  more comfortable with executing this pitch. We like that it is not basic and expands on how mental health  truly impacts adolescents. Pitch B: A teen girl's...
