Honors Theses
The bachelor machine - a short film by jack rose.
Jack Rose Follow
Date of Thesis
Spring 2022
Description
My Bucknell Honors Thesis submission for the Film and Media Studies department consists of two different parts. The first part is a 5-minute short film, titled “the bachelor machine” that I created through a year-long process of pre-production (idea generation), production (the film shoot itself), and post-production (editing, sound design, color grading). The second part of my Honors Thesis submission is an Artist’s Statement that explains the processes by which I created the film, outlining each aforementioned step in the production process. I also examine the avenues by which I was inspired to create this product, through my previous experiences in Bucknell courses as well as other pieces of media, those themes subsequently surfacing in my final product. Ultimately, this Honors Thesis is a reflection of both film production and film theory and criticism as taught in the Film and Media Studies department at Bucknell.

Design and Production of 3D Animation Short Film “Memories of the Post-80s”
Hui Shen Follow
“The memories of the post-80s” is a 2minutes and 8 seconds 3D animated short film which tells a story of a young man named Kai who born in the post-80s in China, living in a modern, high-tech environment, but falling into a fantasy dream and reminiscing about his simple and happy life as a child. The most important question expressed in this short film is whether a more convenient, high-tech, fast-paced modern life is proportional to people's happiness index. The main reasons for this problem are multiple, such as working pressure, stressful life, repayment of loans, health, and so on. The boredom and indifference to modern life is a manifestation caused by multiple aspects of social life problems. Because of this invisible pressure, and also to form a sharp contrast with the differences of the times, the film's author gathered many of the typical games and snacks as the main elements of childhood and brought them together to create a fantasy world full of the post-80s childhood memories which reflects how children spend their free time before the Internet and the self-media became popular to commemorate their special and wonderful time. This short film is presented in 3D. 3D is chosen to better show people's feelings when playing games. Although the design of these games was mainly based on 2D, the mood of playing at that time was as immersive as the current 3D scene. And using 3d to express the dynamics of the game is more vivid and exaggerated. The author combines various fantasies of the author's dreams around the game world. The purpose of creating in this form is to express the world in the memory of people in the post-80s, to express their mentality of escaping from the real world and their yearning for the unknown and wonderful world.

In an effort to improve my filmmaking abilities, I used this thesis to create my first independent film project. My thesis begins with detailing the steps I took in creating this film, starting with the writing of my screenplay and the researching of topics relevant to the subject of the script.

With my thesis, I am creating a short film through a devised process inspired by devised theatre. I believe this collaborative style can thrive with the artistic tools that film can offer. 4
