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

Short Film: 
  • The short film "9" likely adheres to the conventions of short filmmaking, focusing on core elements like concentrating on central character, a specific theme, or a particular moment, providing a snapshot of a larger story within a constrained runtime while showcasing the director's style and creativity. The character development in the short film is limited but effective. The audience gets a glimpse into the resilience and resourcefulness of the protagonist, but the depth of character exploration is necessarily restricted. It sets the stage for the later expansion into a full-length feature.
Full-Length Film: 

  • The full-length film "9" builds upon the strengths of the short film, offering a more immersive and detailed exploration of its post-apocalyptic world, characters, and themes through sophisticated special effects and a consistent directorial style. The longer runtime allows for more extensive character arcs and interactions, enabling the audience to connect with the characters on a deeper level. Also, the full-length film employs layered storytelling with subplots and twists that add complexity to the narrative, keeping the audience engaged throughout the movie.
Both:

- Quality of Short Film
  • Duration: The most obvious difference is the length. The short film is significantly shorter in duration compared to the full-length film.
  • Scope: The short film has a more limited scope in terms of storytelling and character development.
  • Focus: Due to its brevity, the short film may focus more on specific aspects of the narrative without delving into the broader context.
- Accomplishments in Full-Length:
  • Expanded Storyline: The full-length film expands upon the world and story presented in the short film. It provides more background information, context, and additional character development.
  • World-Building: The longer runtime allows for more extensive world-building, explaining the post-apocalyptic setting and the origin of the sentient ragdoll characters.
  • Character Depth: The full-length film delves deeper into the personalities and motivations of the characters, providing a more comprehensive understanding of their roles and relationships.
- Differences in Conventions:
  • Narrative Structure: The short film may follow a more concise and straightforward narrative structure, while the full-length film has the flexibility to incorporate subplots and more intricate storytelling.
  • Visual Detail: With a longer runtime, the full-length film can afford more detailed animation and visual effects, enhancing the overall cinematic experience.
  • Character Relationships: The extended duration allows for more nuanced exploration of relationships between characters in the full-length film.

Filming Blog: Plans Didn't Work Out Again

Image
Well my group and I wasn't able to film at all. When me and my group came to class that week we talked about filming again. I think there was an early release day that week but we couldn't use it because we would be busy. In the end we wall agreed that Sunday would be our other filming day. On Monday, I was doing... as usual. I also watched the Grammys. Which are  awards presented by the Recording Academy of the United States to recognize outstanding achievements in the music industry. They are regarded by many as the most prestigious and significant awards in the music industry worldwide. On Tuesday, I didn't have that much homework. So I watched a movie and a TV show. On Wednesday, I did homework again. During my study hall class I went to best buddies. Best Buddies is a club at my school that consists of volunteers that create opportunities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. On Thursday, I did homework. On Friday, I did nothing. I just watched m...

Production Blog: Editing My Videos

Image
Once me and David finished filming on 12/10/22. We wanted to import the clips he took on his phone but we both agreed on waiting until Monday. We then imported the clips through email. David decided to give me half of the clips then the other half the next day. I eventually got all the clips and I started to import them into my editing program, which is Adobe Premiere Pro. I've been using Adobe Premiere Pro for about a year and a couple of months. Before I started editing my part of the music video, I organized everything by 5 different categories... videos, sound/music, green screen videos, sound effects, and photos. I do this all the time because it helps me find things easier rather than everything being all of the place. Also, it's been this way ever since I got Premiere Pro. Before I import the clips I put the actually music video from the artist into the timeline, which is where are the clips, photos, music, and text is placed. I then went through every video and decided ...

Planning Blog: Title Design

The opening credits of my film will appear in a bold font that appears to be typed in different places around the screen. The size of the text will be pretty big so the audience can clearly see the credits. The color will be white with a black shadow/outline to give a little edge. Some credits, will appear to be embedded into the actual setting. For example, on the walls, on the objects in the scene, and buildings/houses. Working Title: The title of the film is most likely to be "R3VENGE" The working title will be bold faced with all caps: LIKE THIS . Also, the 3 will be 1-2 lager than the font and will be red: LIKE THIS The titles will be faded into the screen and and disappear with a fade out. The titles will disappear after 2-3 sentences. Some of the titles may have different sizes. Like 2 sizes larger than the normal. The titles are the Name o the Studio, Name of Production Company, Produced/Executive Producer, and Directed By. These titles will also be bold faced. Video ...
