Short Film vs. Feature Length Film

 Hi blog. Yesterday i watched the short film "9" and its counter part, the full length movie also called "9", that was based of the short film. To start with, these two different films, are pretty similar, but also very different. The short film has some aspects that are far better than the actual movie. The pacing in the short film is very good. You have time to breath in between crucial parts of the story, and everything doesn't feel rushed. The actual feature length film is worse in that aspect. It has really bad pacing. Many plot points were one after another , without having room to breath. The short film was also more of a smooth experience to watch, there was not one point were my eyes didn't go off the screen. I was engaged on every sentence of the fim. The other one however, many parts i drifted off because i lost interest, but i think that reason was that it was a hour and a half movie, compared to a 10 minute short film. On the other side, the feature length film has a lot on the short film too. In the feature length film, it fleshes all of the ideas out, and adds world building to the setting of the film. The ideas that were introduced were very interesting and were one of my favorite parts of the movie. The characters are also a lot more diverse, difriential, and there's a lot more of them. You can tell now the difference of the characters by not just the number on their back, but their mannerisms, what type of material they are made of, the "clothes" that they wear, and their body shapes. The graphics are also a lot better too, since they have a larger budget. I don't really know which one i like better. There both enjoyable in my eyes, and have different aspects. I think i like the movie one a little bit more, just because of the concepts and ideas that were introduced in the movie.
