I have watched both the short film and movie of "9".One major difference was the use of dialogue between the two. One of my favorite things about the short film was its absence of words. In the full-length movie, they did continue this aspect. The movie did explain why they could not speak in the short film, which was a cool addition. Another difference was the explanation. In the short film, they quickly showed the necessity to understand the plot. , who is the good guy, who is the bad guy, and why, whereas the movie had a much more in-depth plot with side journeys and more explanation. For example, there were multiple robots they had to fight off instead of one. Another difference was the number of characters shown. In the short film, there were three characters. There were 9, 5, and the robot. In the movie, there were characters 1 through 9, the scientist, and a multitude of robots. The mis en scene for both films was very similar. In both, the characters were rag doll-like figures. While the short film used body language as its sole source of communication and the full-length movie did not, both films did a great job of communicating with it. The lighting/ coloring of both the short film and the movie was grungy/ dirty. I especially liked this look during the short film. It made it easy to identify that the movie was during a post-apocalyptic time. An editing technique they both used was using flashbacks throughout the movie. They also had many common camera angles, shots, and movements (C.A.M.S) between the two. A few were, over the shoulder, tracking, high angle, low angle, medium shot, and an establishing shot. They were both superb films that I thoroughly enjoyed.
