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

The setting of short film 9 is very gloomy and ominous at the outset. We quickly realized that the genre was strikingly similar to the action genre and shared many of its characteristics. The entire film was a thriller/action movie. There were numerous fight scenes and jump scares. Like a typical action movie, there was a lot of dark imagery and CGI. Since it was a short film, the plot was obviously brief; as a result, the viewer is thrown from the beginning to the middle of a longer story. It follows the character 9 as he fights the monster that killed his friends and seeks vengeance on them. There is very little character growth; for instance, character 9 was scared at first but is now brave. Audio effects are a major piece of the short film as there is no exchange, but there are numerous one of a kind audio cues and uproarious accidents which are ordinary in the activity classification. There were heaps of perspectives that made the full-length film unique. The dialogue in the short film is not present, whereas it is in the full-length film. Because it focused less on the thriller/horror aspect, the full-length film appeared to lose some of its genre and its darker aspects in comparison to the short film. Additionally, the full-length film employs music more effectively than the short film, but we believe the short film employs sound effects more effectively. Since there was no dialogue and an atmosphere of silence, the short film emphasized sound effects more than the facts. Something common in full-length.

Peer review

the last step is peer review. Now that i finshed editing all i had to do was get feedback, and fix what needed to be fixed. teh first people that wastched was my group. Naturaly. Then i showed my parents. Then lastly my friends. And my friends parents. the reception was great. But i encourageed them to be more honest. There were some easy fixes. One of them was the score. It was a little lackluster. Becuase i never got the rights to the song i wanted to use it was a struggle. I had to look through royalty free music. BUt it all seemed so bland. Like an ad. not a movie.SO i went back and looked more. I decied that the score with the use of no sound. And diegetic noises i could create more emotion. I finshed up editing and showed them once again. Much better.

Genre conventions: Shutter island

- For the thriller genre option, Shutter Island uses extremely wide shots to show where the film is taking place. They use wide shots to show multiple people walking at a certain time. The mid shot shows the character looking directly at you. The high angle shows them walking through the rain. The low level shows the contrast between the colors. Leonardo DiCaprio dresses in a detective outfit containing a trench coat and a tie. In this movie, Scorsese uses the dark lighting in the scene to symbolize the characters. The makeup in the film shutter island is mainly used to emphasize the expressions on their face. Major props to films that still use miniature models like this rather than purely CGI it up.

Genre Conventions: The Dark Knight

The Dark Knight - A common camera camera angle used is a close up. Close ups like in the scene where the joker is being interogated, or when the detective is leaving the room. This shows emotion is the charcters. Another common angle used is the dutch tilt. THis creates a sense of uneasiness for the audience and foreshadows to what might happen next. Over the shoulders shots are commonly used to. They show equality between the charcter, adn even though they are fighting, they are equal to each other. The lighting used is dark, creating a menacing and dangerous mood symbolizing the jokers character to the audience. Batman was dressed in his superhero coastume which is all black to create fear, adn whn he was not wearing his batman costume, he was wearing a dark suit, to still keep the dar mood. The dark mood was also elevated by the setting. Low, dark lights and rain were added to the scenery of a tall city. The acting was very serious as comomn for the genre. Props used were weapons,...
