Getting Everyone on the Same Schedule!

  Props:    We have a lot of props in ideas to use. We are planning to use toy guns as props. We also plan to use many items like plastic knives, walkie-talkies, and badges to make are actors look like special agents. We also may use some cardboard or plastic to make barricades and obstacles.     Costumes:   For costumes, we plan on using all-black clothing. We will use long sleeves and sweatpants to make it fit in with the idea of a special agent team. We also have ski masks to cover the faces to make things even more realistic. We plan to have the president in a suit with some form of indication that it's the president.    Schedule:   As of now, we plan to film over the period of spring break 5/17-5/26.

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

Image
  Le Jetée is an influential and highly regarded science fiction film that explores the concept of time travel and the role that memory plays in shaping our perception of reality. The film tells the story of a man who is sent back in time to prevent a future disaster. Who uses a series of still photographs to depict the events of the story. The use of still images gives the film a dreamlike quality and creates a sense of uncertainty as the story unfolds.     One of the major themes of Le Jetée is the relationship between time and memory. The film suggests that our memories are not just a record of the past. But also a way of shaping our understanding of the present and the future. As the protagonist travels back in time, he is forced to confront the memories of his own past and the ways in which they have shaped his understanding of the world. The film also explores the idea that the act of remembering itself can be a form of time travel. Since we revisit the past ...
