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.

Hey everyone it's Marvin and welcome to my blog! For the group project, I chose my two teammates to be Kyra Myers and Mya Aly. Kyra and Mya both have media studies a different period than I. While I have media studies 8th period, they have it 5th period. I chose Mya and Kyra to be in my group because I have a really great connection with the both of them. When I first met them, it was almost like an instant connection. Giving some background, I first met Kyra all the way back in 6th grade when we both attended Nova Middle. We both had the same science class. On the first day, we talked for the first time in the cafeteria at lunchtime if my memory serves correctly. I met Mya the first week of 9th grade year in 1st period. Mya would help me with memorizing the material, she would give me the ins and outs, and show me the ropes. All three of us are on the mock trial team which helps our connection with one another. Being on the mock trial team together, we all have to spend a lot of t...
