Comparing Le Jetee, the short, and 12 Monkeys, the full-length movie

part 2

The short film LeJetee is one that can’t be fully understood within just one watch. The film is one that you can watch several times and pick up on new things every time, which only makes the plot twist even better. You could even do background research to fully understand what the film is conveying. I gathered that the concept of the film must be one that leaves people wanting more. So, the film must be complete, but the plot is short. The short length of time though, shouldn't take away the depth of the film. It should be able to be expanded, with a plot that can be developed. This is helpful to keep in mind while creating our short film. We can’t put every single scene we think of into the film, just the ones that are needed. So as long as the plot can be understood and the plot twist is done well everything should be achieved. There was also a certain type of filming theme that was followed when creating both films, along with what type of shots and scenes were used. Within the short film you can create your filming and editing style. Which is something that needs to be homed in on this project.
