Short Film Research: ( SUBURBIA / Drama )

So the plot of the film is pretty clear and concise. The film makes it easy to identify what the plot of the story is without having to dig through our brains trying to figure out what to point of the film was.It contains the majority of the typical features of the drama genre. The short film begins with a joyful and gracious tone. Then, a few minutes into the movie, the climax occurs, which involves chases. The climax is crucial in a dramatic picture, and this one was straightforward. A shooting was the unfortunate occurrence. The film does not spare any time in stating the plot. This plot continues for the next several minutes of the movie.

The gunshot noises are loud and clear, but you can't see them. This denotes the use of non-diegetic sound in the picture. There are also a lot of high voices and screaming going on. In dramas, this is a crucial component. One of the dramatic components in our short film will be this. These are also elements that we enjoy seeing in drama films. Throughout the film, the lighting is high key, which effectively portrays the plot and its impact. Then you hear the ambulance sirens and the guy suffers a nervous breakdown since they can't save the woman who was shot. We still don't know where the shots came from or what triggered them, so it's all quite dramatic.

However, as the film approaches its 13-minute conclusion, the visuals come to a halt. The next scene is muted, with only hazy sounds and a blur image. The guy's girlfriend is speaking to him, but we can't hear her. This creates a halt in the action of the short film. It's a dramatic effect that implies something horrible has happened or is happening. Overall, this short film contains elements that we want to include in our short film, making it an ideal film for us to explore.

Short Film Research: ( Migrants/ Drama)

This short film was 8 minutes long and the plot was pretty easy to figure out basically there were polar bears being pushed out of their home lands due to global warming and exiled from brown bear territory being left to fend for themselves on the ocean. In the beginning of the short there was a climax point where the baby polar bear fell of the ice and into the water from the ice breaking and the mother jumps after the baby. This was a great way to start the film it immediately introduce the drama factor that a film should have lots of heart racing and anticipating moments. There was a conflict with the polar bears and the brown bears over food and the was another great way to help deliver a message. Although it is animated the film didn't use and real dialogue just animal noises such as grunts and snorts and well as instrumental music in the background.

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

The Short: My first impressions of the 9 short film was a bit confusing and when things slowly began to make sense in the end we were left with a weird cliff hanger and although it didn't make much sense seeing the numbers stitched onto other ghost dolls backs before the screen goes out helps establish that there is more to the story and that the is an explanation to what we were seeing. We couldn't really tell what the plot was in the beginning of the short it was hard to put two and two together but after seeing the ghost dolls it can an appeal of an post-apocalyptic event that happened with 9 being the only survivor of his kind in the all out war.

The character built a sense of fight or flight mode during the chaos in the short. We saw that there were lots of special effects i'm ...
