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

Short Film- When watching the short film 9 we have to use context clues in order to understand the plot. There is no speaking dialogue in this film. From the start of the film to the end the setting seems to be in a junk yard or bomb site, it is not clear as to what. There is a clear villain and hero in this film even if there is no dialogue the robot creature is clearly trying to hunt these numbers down and 9 used his intelligence to slay the creature. Also, this green light we see can be linked to a power that this monster may have wanted but again is unclear without dialogue. This is what I gathered from the short film 9.

Long film-  When watching the long film 9 there is a whole plot that the viewer can easily catch on to. In this film there is a clear dialogue between the characters. With this dialogue we can understand that we are in a post-apocalyptic world set in a world where humans have been destroyed by machines. The films goal is to rescue a surviving rag-doll 2. Also in this film each rag-doll has its own characteristics and distinct visual differences. This is what was gathered from the long film 9.

 Comparison of the short and the full-length film- Both films possess different and similar qualities. Obviously because the long film 9 is a extended version of the short film 9 which was an Oscar nominated short film. In both films we can see 9 portrayed as a hero by taking down machines and rescuing 2. There are a lot of differences between these two films. To start in the short there is no dialogue but in the long there is a lot. Even without dialogue the short still shows us how 9 is a hero. I believe that with dialogue it does help the viewer understand more clearly what is going on. In the short there was a lot of details that we wouldn't understand without any dialogue. Another thing that was really different was the characters because the long film introduced us to a wider character base because it had more time to expand on the plot.

My Final Intro Blog

  Welcome back everybody to my last intro blog ever. I am Daniel Brinkworth and I go to Fort Lauderdale High School. I am so excited that I am finally in A level media studies. I can’t wait to start my final task for a level. Last year for my final task we made an opening for a movie. Now that I moved up to A level i am tasked with making a five-minute movie. I have been so excited for this project since I first heard about it in the beginning of the year. My final task in AS level really helped me to understand what I need to do for my blogs, what I need to do for my editing, and what I needed to do when it came filming. The AS level final task gave me a good idea of what was going to be asked of me for my A level final task with some new elements I will need to include. Another thing the AS level final task really helped me do was figure out time management. I know that will be really important when it comes to this final project. Although the AS level final task required just th...

Editing for My Final Task

Image
  Welcome back to my blog! Today, I'm excited to talk about the editing process for my final task. Unlike last year, where I had a lot of help from my group, this year I'm alone. Last year, Rhys from my group took charge of most of the editing, and the video turned out great. However, this time around, I don't have that luxury. So, I had to figure it out on my own and I learned some new skills in the process. First things first, I scouted out different software options for editing. Many required payment or personal information. I then stumbled upon CapCut, which turned out to be a great choice. Once I imported my clips and added them to the software, along with the opening credits I'd already prepared, I was surprised to find that my footage exceeded five minutes. Initially, this seemed overwhelming. It actually forced me to trim down unnecessary shots and focus solely on the story. With all my clips in the software, I began editing my opening scenes, embedding titles, ...

Production Blog: Planning

Image
  Welcome back to my blog. In this blog I will talk about the planning process that took place. My group mates and I worked very hard to plan out our final project. There were many steps that were involved in making our final project. One of the major things that we had to do was our storyboard. The storyboard is a scene-by-scene depiction of what we are going to film. This is very helpful when filming because we have something to go off of rather than just trying to throw it all together last minute. Another thing that was really helpful when planning was our title research because we were able to find similar movies and look at their opening scenes in order to get ideas of what we would like to do. This also helped with the storyboard because we were able to decide where to embed titles. It is very important to consider placement of where these titles should go. As a group we need to discuss and agree where each title should go. We also needed to decide where the titles will come...
