Comparing 9, the short, and 9, the full-length movie

 Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog. The last time you saw me , I was researching genres. Now, I am beginning to research short films. In this film I will be comparing the short film “9” to its full length film version.

Short Film:

That was, to be honest, one of the spookiest movies I've seen in a while. Nobody spoke. It appeared as though this animated universe had been abandoned because the scene was dead. These two doll-like creatures, 5 and 9, with numbers on their backs, set the scene for the story. They encounter this mechanical beast, which resembles a cross between a dog and a lion in appearance but is entirely constructed of metal. It roars fiercely and has vivid green eyes. After kidnapping five, this monster kills him with a green portal device. He starts to take more pride in his persona. The ninth figure, the other one, fled in terror and went into hiding. Eventually, we witness number nine discovering these random objects that he assembles to create a torch. However, number nine uses a lightbulb to entice the monster into an abandoned cave-like environment, where he finds himself stuck on a large wooden plank. Just when it looks hopeless, number nine is able to swing off the plank, locate a safe spot, and then drop the monster off the plank onto the ground. Nevertheless, he saw that his green light was still shining. When number nine combined these two green icees, a glowing, ghostly doll shape started to emerge from the light. 

The movie's animation has some jerky moments. However, we have to keep in mind that it was created more than ten years ago. Over time, technology has advanced significantly.



Full film:

 When 9 comes to life, it discovers that it lives in a post-apocalyptic world where sentient rag dolls like itself and the machines that hunt them are the only traces of life. Humans have vanished from the planet. Despite being the youngest member of the gang, 9 persuades allies that stopping hiding, going on the attack, and discovering the machines' motivations for destroying them is the only way to live against the machines. As 9 and the others discover, society depends on their achievement or failure. It was, once more, a grim movie. The scene was really dismal. This time, though, the plot is more elaborate. His character gradually shifts as he gains self-assurance and motivation. Despite their similarities, this film is more action-packed and gives the character greater drive than the previous one. The director managed to portray such a powerful and courageous feeling on screen all without any actual words of dialogue. 


Comparison

Nine's personality traits were revealed in greater detail in the full-length film than in the short. This occurs as a result of the director's increased time to execute a more intricate and nuanced plot. But, I preferred the short film since it was more direct and concise, which is what I find more enjoyable. Both movies opened with a sense of pessimism because to their utilization of dark, post-apocalyptic settings. However, this laid the groundwork for a heroic plot that developed later.

  Scene One- The first scene will start with Mya opening up the door to the courtroom. She will introduce herself, welcome the viewer to the courtroom, and then go look for the rest of the members. The camera will pan around the room to give a full view of the scene. Finally the camera will turn to Charlie and Kai.  Scene Two- The second scene will start with Charlie introducing himself. He would state his name and then, similar to a lawyer examining a witness, will ask Kai to introduce herself. After Kai says her name the camera will pan back to Mya who will go looking for the other members.  Scene Three- The third scene will jump cut to Joey asleep on a patio bench. Mya will walk into frame and wake him up. Once awake he will introduce himself to the camera.  Scene Four- The fourth scene will start with Kyra and I on a different bench. We will be in the middle of a conversation when Mya walks up to us and has us introduce ourselves. After we both introduce ourselve...

Hello, I am Marvin and I am the son of a full Haitian dad and a full African-American mother. I am the oldest child out of all my siblings. On my mom's side I have a little sister named Malaysia and I have a 3 month old brother on my dad's side named Mayson. In the future, I hope to be a lawyer and maybe even go into politics.  I am not sure what type of lawyer I want to be yet due to the vast variety of types of lawyers there are or what law school I would want to go to. For undergraduate if I stay in state I for sure want to go to the University of Florida. If I'm being optomisitc, I would love to be able to go to an Ivy League school for undergraduate school but using my bright futures might be the best option. Right now, I am currently the Class of 2025 President and I am also apart of the Mock Trial Team. My favorite part of being on the mock trial team is the people for sure, they always have the best jokes and are very supportive of anything anyone does. I like being...

CCR BLOG   1. How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent   social groups or issues?   Our commercial product both uses and challenges commercial conventions. In normal school PSA's, they will usually have some type of message at the end. Within our commercial, we made sure to end our commercial with the message we wanted to get across which was to promote our mock trial team and we ended it with the introduction of all together as one. In one way it challenges conventions because usually school PSA's use normal clothing such as t-shirts, hoodies, pants, etc. Our commercial we took that typical clothing up a notch, and we wore our court attire because it matched more the school PSA we wanted to get across. I think our commercial represents social groups because it shows a group of people who are apart of a team and the group is diverse as well and shows representation. 2.
