Research: 9 The Short

     The short film starts off with an establishing shot of the character I can assume to be 9 that is hammering a short of pole to a light. The light then shifts and the scene cuts to a monster, which I can only assume is looking for nine. Then 9 is found cleaning a device and a flash back happens. The flashback has another person in it, and they are showed fixing a light bulb into a portable torch for them. The monster approaches and the other doll has glowing green eyes. The take a device, which could be the same device 9 was cleaning before the flashback, out. They seem to know that the monster is near by, so the one eye'd other doll, hands the device to 9 and gestures them to hide while they fight off the monster. The monster captures one eye and takes out another green glowing device, similar to the one 9 has. This device kills one eye and 9 is left alone. The monster starts looking for 9 but gets distracted by another sound away from 9 and 9 is able to escape. The flashback ends with 9 running away and present 9 sitting in the same spot they ran away from with the device that is glowing green again. They run into hiding, and the monster follows. They end up in a chasing scene with tracking shots, pan angles, and wide angles. The scene ends with the monster being killed and cuts to 9 looking at a cloth with the number 5 written on it. 9 puts the glowing pieces together and out comes eight souls hat all walk to their respective graves. The doll labeled 5 turns around and nods at 9 before disappearing, leaving 9 alone. 

    There doesn't seem to be much character development except for the inference that I made which is that 9 was and the others were all about fighting and surviving, but as they all slowly died off, they became more humbled and played more defense. There were no people in the movie, and lots of rubble, so I'm assuming it's a post apocalyptic world where all the humans died. There is no dialogue. There is only music during the chasing scene and sounds from moving objects that contribute to the noises.
