Comparing La Jetée, the Short, and 12 Monkeys, the Full-Length Movie

Part 1: Video Takeaways
The video showed how La Jetée tells a powerful story using only still images, while 12 Monkeys expands that concept into a full-length film with live-action and dialogue. Both explore time travel, memory, and survival in a post-apocalyptic world. It reminded me that short films don’t need big budgets strong visuals and a clear idea are enough to make an impact.

Part 2: Article Takeaways
The article highlighted how 12 Monkeys builds on La Jetée by adding deeper character development and a more complex plot. La Jetée is minimal yet emotional, while 12 Monkeys keeps the same themes but adds Hollywood polish. This comparison taught me that a short film can be just as impactful as a longer one if the story is clear and focused.

Moving forward, I’ll focus on strong storytelling and visuals to make my short film stand out. Be cool and stay in school
