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

-

 In this blog, I’m doing research on the short and full length movie 9 by Shane Ackerman. I started off watching the short film first then I watched the full length movie. The short film 9 is about rag dolls that are in a city that have buildings that are ruined and are old. The atmosphere is dark and gives zombie apocalypse vibes. It just seems like the world had came to an end and there is only a few amount of life.The story shows a rag doll who is being chased by a creature who is dangerous. The person is dangerous because it killed someone and now it seems like they’re trying to kill the rag doll. The short film is extremely tense and sad. The main character seems really caring as he is doing his best to try and protect his friends. He seems to have troubles with his emotions and doesn’t know how he will handle them. However the main character 9 seems to feel more accomplished and have bravery towards the end. The special effects of the film I really liked because the main character were rag dolls and looked to be made out of cloth and had stitching. The special effects on the rag doll like there cloth looked realistic and were detailed. The lighting of the film also really illustrated the situation they are and contributes to that dark and eerie feeling. The short film is definitely more summarized and leave out more details. It made me question more about the film then the full length film because there were some things not explained in the short length then compared to the full length. There was also less dialogue in the short film so the animation and the sound showed the story more.

The full length movie 9 has the same plots but the plot is explained so much more. I learned more about the character in this full length movie. I got to understand more about the character and why the character are the way there are from their back stories. The movie showed the purpose of each rag doll and shows how driven and determined the main character rag doll is. It did show this side of the rag doll in the short film but the full length really showed more of this side of him and how strong it is. Not only did I learn more about the main character I learn more about the other characters. It gave me a more different impression of the other character because I got to know more about them. It makes me see them different. For example, I discovered how the rag doll 1 is so different from the other rag dolls because he’s more scared and is scared to do thing that is not familiar. The setting of the full length is more detailed and is more less constricted then the short film. The full length shows more of the setting and the area they are in.The atmosphere also is different as there are brighter moments in the film but also dark moments. So based on the scene the light is always changing. This really helped add more to the story and portray the feelings and environment of the characters.

I liked the full length movie better because it made the story more complete. The full length really made it more enjoyable and more entertaining. I learned more about the world and characters then I did in the short film.Qualities in the short film that the full length did not have is the short story is it’s more mysterious and unexpected. It leave the audience wondering more about the plot because not everything is explained. The short story is straight to the point and doesn’t add any unnecessary details or scenes. It gives a clear view of what’s happening. But the full length is the opposite and has more details and takes longer to tell the plot.

 Genre Research: 47 Meters Down: Uncaged What elements of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have? The elements of the genre that I chose to base my final task on that this movie have is the lighting of the movie. In the beginning of the movie the movie has a really bright lighting but as the movie progressed the lighting becomes really dull and dark. I choose these elements because it's important for horror movies to have dark lighting to create the horror and dark effect. But also for the balance of having both light and dark lighting for our final task. What elements of the genre did this movie have that you like? Element of the movie that I liked are the narrative. I liked how the movie starts off it being a normal day for a group of teenagers but then eventually becomes one of the worst days of there lives. It shows a continuous timeline from start to end and doesn't cut to the end or the middle. It makes it easier to follow the storyline....

 This is my CCR Part one where ill be answering half of the questions. Stay tuned for the next video! Script:  Hi, welcome to my podcast I'm natalie ehney and I'm going to be talking about my moving opening. The first question is How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues? Conventions are used by our product, which originally appeared in the horror genre. Horror is the genre of our film; and it can be fiction or nonfiction, and its goal is to frighten audiences. Our plan was to create a horror genre fiction. The horror genre included elements like  plot twists, a sense of terror, and cliffhangers. These components are a part of our own product. You can observe a guy looking for someone in our product. The guy finds a monster-like thing that is racing after him and stabbing a girl while he is looking for someone. The audience is left with a lot of unanswered questions, like what happened to the girl and who is after...

Hello Cambridge ! It's great to be back and I hope you're all doing well. Here's a update on our film process. After consideration among our team, we've decided to maintain the existing footage without further filming. Unfortunately, our busy schedules have made it challenging to coordinate additional filming sessions. But dont worry and rest assured were dedicating our time into editing to ensure the final product is the best we can do. Right now were focusing on getting the editing done. As mentioned in a previous blog post, we're using  Adobe Premiere Pro to edit the  footage we've captured. Collaborating with my team, I've been involved in guiding the editing process for this new footage. We agreed that  the new footage should be added to the beginning of the video would make the footage flow better. It was also a better fit then the footage that was previously in the beginning. This decision was reached through thoughtful discussion through texting. Onc...
