Comparing 9, The Short, and 9, The Full Length Movie


 In 9 the short film, the plot was very straightforward. It didn't really entail many abnormal distinct features that added to plot. There was very limited character development. In relation to the characters, we didn't see much of the main character "9" opinion or character. Regardless, the maker did an amazing job with the character distinction with the time given. The viewer was able to identify the main protagonist and antagonist with those simple ten minutes. In addition there was a clear beginning middle and end. The main antagonist was able to be portrayed in the correct manner with the limited amount of viewing given. This is something that is extremely difficult to do with the genre and time given but the plot and character roles were very identifiable. 

In 9 the full- length film, the plot was taken in a completely different direction. The character development was more established. The viewer was able to gain a better understanding and feelings toward the characters based on their additional actions. This was especially better because you were able to gain a better understanding of the overall plot through the increased character development as well. In addition, there were also a increasing number in side notes. Side notes being things that don't necessarily have anything to do with the plot, which added to the liking of the characters and the film overall. 

In comparison, the films seem completely different but do have some similarities. They both have the same overall point. The point being 9 being a hero and defeating an antagonist, but the execution was very different. The regular film spent a lot of time developing the characters, this was through side notes or extra scenes that don't necessarily have anything to do with the plot but help establish the personality and nature of the characters. In addition that led to the plot being better understood because within the short film the plot was very vague and moved very fast compared to the actual film that took its time and established the groundwork. Lastly, even down to the transitions were different. Within the short film, they were very fast paced and not very creative but it was the complete opposite with the full-length film.

 I really got to work on my blogging. It is very dumb how I keep slacking off from trying to get these blogs done. I also remembered that you’re not supposed to use the word “we” while blogging and that made me so mad. I used the word “we” so many times. I fail to keep you guys updated on this journey, that would be bad. I would cry myself to sleep. But yeah, filming has been pretty delayed and I’ve been trying to get some things together. I mean I already messed up on the filming process the first time and the second time and right now David and I are on the third time and just trying to get it done. By the way while typing this I use the word “we” three times and had to go back and delete it. It’s so crazy how I was just talking about having a trouble with using that word and then I used it while explaining the fact that I use it when I should not. I Set myself at a limit of at least 20 sentences for blog to entertain the audience. I really hate that I sent myself and it’s so har...

First filming day blog

 Today I started my filming for my water bottle commercial. I feel really confident in my project and I do think that it's going to do well. The person I was filming with was very cooperative and shared a lot of the same creative differences. I am working alone but I did need someone to film, so I asked my closest friend who happens to run track. The sun was hot but my clips were nice. I used some props from the shed out on the field so that I can have a nice video. My main prop was a water bottle but I had the blocks, and some spikes. I also had a sports bag to carry the spikes in and they were really nice. I couldn't  be happier with my project and I hope it turns out nicely and that I can edit this to the best of my ability. I was lucky to run into coach Martin to let me get into the shed and use the blocks because if he didn't, I would've been pissed. Thankfully we got into the shed though. The person that I was working with was really into my directing skills, whic...

The process of the short film titled "A happy ending" or filming any film would need things like a location, props, actors, health and safety, costumes, a schedule and of course a backup plan. Schedule- As for schedule, we are still working on it. we wanted to finalize all filming and wrap up editing by the end of spring break so that when come time to turn in the short film, we are more than prepared. Location-For Location, we were thinking of filming in thee standard places. A supermarket(Publix), Nyla's house, a parking lot at Nyla's house, an a park with pretty lights. There will probably be other places like down the street but those will all be scenes leading up to arriving at those specific Locations. We plan on utilizing each location at different times of the day seeing as we want o use the lighting to help represent the characters emotion Participants- As of right now, our participants consist of Nyla, David, Nyla's mom, and Rashell. Of course David and ...
