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

9

The short film isn't completely different from the full length but the most notable difference is how the plot progresses. The main reason for this is the time you have. Due to this you have to result to unconventional ways to tell a story, and this is what seperates short films from your longer and much more common film. Everything develops at different rates, such as character development will be on the quicker side with a unique twist to it. In this case there is absouletly no dialogue! This does in turn help the watcher pay much more attention to the actions of the character since again no one or nothing is speaking.  There is sound and music which helps in progressing the story and the characters.

With the full version of the film you have the full hour and nineteen to explain the story with much more details and progression is slower. Since you do have time you don't have to result in unique ways of telling a story. In this case, it sticks to a common way of telling a story but again there is no dialogue. But it is the standard, the storyline will span over weeks or months. Again there is time to esplain each character, their background and personality included.



The film itself is niche because it releys on action speaking. Both of the types of film do an amazing job at telling the story since that format doesn't change. Theres the beginning, reaching action, climax, falling action and finally the end. That hasn't changed and is the same for both. The full length did do a better job at explaining the characters and this is due to the lack of time constraint. I have watched both films mainly for one reason that being that I knew the Tim Burton was a producer of the film. I believe that he is an artist at his craft plus I like the style. I did like the full length version much better because to me it is memorizing; the fact that there was no dialogue was weird but I still enjoyed watching it. The film is niche in its own way both short and long.



Signing Off,

Kay.

Title Research: The Eternal Daughter

The Eternal Daughter  1. What titles are displayed during the opening sequences?      The Eternal Daughter title card, A film by Joanna Hogg, actor and actress credit, produced by,  co producers, and editor. 2. What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?     A car on a road, and trees in a bunch, greyish brown background and grey background with a title card. 3.  What connotations do these images carry?       It is slowed to makes you feel anxiety. The sequence is gives you anxiety and suspense that you want to wait until it stops.   4. How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the outset?     By putting up a very hazy scene throughout the introduction, the movie creates a sense of the genre. It has a hazy beginning that makes viewers uncertain of what is happening and what is happening. Suspense can result from this, which contributes to the genre's sense of adventure, fantasy, and action ...

Storyboard

My storyboard of the girl next door! Scene 1: This will be the first scene and this is where the main actor will appear. It will fade in from black to sync with the audio since it also fades in. It will be at eye level and it will be a close up to show to emphases the subject's eyes because of a lyric "red eyes". The set will be a road in order to cut into the next scene. Scene 2: After it cuts away from the close up we move into a medium long shot at eye level. The actor will be drinking a cherry coke and be stumbling along the road. The medium long shot is to show that she is still wearing the same clothes according to the lyrics. Scene 3: This scene she is up against the bedroom door looking distress. This will be at eye level and it will start at as a close up then zoom out in order to transition into the next scene. She is in this position because she is wondering about a certain thing, that thing being something unpleasant. Scene 4: The next scene will pan into her...

Almost!

We are almost done! As of writing this we are almost finished. We had completed filming around a week ago. Now we are so close to finish editing. Like we said previously, we were to continue adding the footage together so then we can make it easier when it came to transitions and audio. We have put in the title cards, and are only missing a few. For the title cards that we have done, we have added transitions for a couple to the title cards and only a footage is left to edit and put together. Right now we are moving things around, because we are slightly worried about the time limit but so far we haven't crossed it. But again there is that slight worry! We do have a way around it if it were to happen. We have sort of an idea of which scenes we can cut from the footage. We also can speed up footage and cut down some footage in order to make time. We have thought on it, just in case if it happens. Right now we aren't over the limit but again we still have footage to add. That foo...
