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

Watching the extract I had many different feelings towards it. I felt it was a bit boring at first due to no sound/ audio. Also, the action came around a bit longer than expected. The plot started off with some robots looking for something. That happened to be a light bulb, eventually, something that was lurking in the shadow popped out. But during the mystery of what was lurking definitely struck excitement in what was going to happen next. There were many special effects seeing that it was a more futuristic movie with robots. So very cool camera effects or CGI. The full-length film was meatier in all the different things it explained that I was confused about in the short film. The moral of the story gave the full story to what was going on. The plot development was a bit longer than the short film because they had to show the back story. But eventually diving into the film was eventful in the main character trying to make another robot so he wouldn't be the only one. Then the other robot dies due to the fight against the monster causing him to be alone again. But he then discovers the robot's soul that was trapped in the gismo. Along with that discovery, he then saw more ghosts, and eventually went away. The special effect was just the same with it being futuristic and animated. The qualities the short film had that the full length did not was getting to the point or action of the story. The full-length one dragged it out a bit. But in watching it you realize why because they were trying to get the full story across. So the full-length accomplished that. I also enjoyed the full-length one better because I was a bit confused on the opening of the short one since it literally jumped right in. The differences were mainly just the visuals in not seeing everything in the short and seeing much more in the full-length film.

Planning: Storyboard

I started the opening of the play with a gradual opening to create a bit of suspense but, also to give the audience some time to get ready. The added track shot also adds a feel of the audience being their walking with jack, it's overall more intimate. Then after the track shot, there is a fast shot of the play and or movie getting straight to the point. (starting the show) The black screen transition is untimely to show the audience that one scene has ended and that was moving on to something else. This helps with older audience viewers as well guiding them to the next scene. The close-up shots added also add drama with it being a shot that happens out of nowhere. Also, the back and forth shots of jack's pacing add suspense as well to over exaggerate the feeling that's taking place. The showing of the clock or time passes by as creates more drama that keeps our movie and or purgative on the right path. On what we ultimately wanted our theme to be. The medium shot adds a se...
