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. 


Thank you for reading my blog! Be back for more because the research continues !

  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.

 Research: Music Videos Conventions and Codes    My group is doing a pop song for our music video. In most pop genre music videos, the audience usually watches people sing the lyrics to the song within the video. A lot of things are subject to the meaning or theme of the song and how the artist wants to get that across within the music video They usually wear costumes that go with the theme of the music video , so for example if the theme of the video involves them performing for a crowd they usually wear nice clothing like dresses, suits, etc. If the theme is midcentury, they usually wear old style clothing like knight armor, long skirts, etc. If the theme is casual, they wear casual clothing like t shirts, jeans, shorts, and sneakers. Props are also usually subject to the theme of the video. If they are performing in the music videos they might have microphones, a microphone stand, and a stage. If it's more midcentury them some props used could be a horse.  The app...

Production Blog: Editing Blog

 Hey guys and welcome back to my blog. In my last blog you heard how we finally filmed! Not everything went as we planned but we had to make do. Today I am going to be telling you about the editing process of our film. I actually edited the film on my phone for the most part. The editing process took a very long time, longer than I expected. If I had to give a number, I would say this process took a total of 2-3 hours. But, we knew we had to make up for our filming aspect so I did what I had to do. We edited our short film on this app called CapCut. CapCut is a very popular editing app which I have used in the past. What I mean by this is I love how you don't have to be the most experienced at editing and your edits can still come out great. When editing, the first thing I did was gather the clips. Once I did this, I started to think about all the titles needed. When editing this, I took inspiration from a previous movie I researched. What I did intentionally, I made sure the effec...
