In preparation for creating my short film I researched many short films available on youtube. I researched on youtube as this allows many short films makers to post their films online and it makes them freely and easily available to view by audiences. Researching the films allowed me to recognise the difference between short films and feature films including differences in the story, the characters and the settings. A short film will follow the scheme of having one storyline, minimal amount of characters and a minimal amount of settings. Many short films I researched emphasised this point. I also found a short film has the ability to put a meaningful message with very little dialogue.
- Strangers
This film shows the message of 2 strangers bonding together when you have a mutual enemy. As a film maker I found this educational as this shows how the use of props can say so much. The use of the man’s necklace and the other man’s paper to express their religious beliefs without saying anything is something I found very interesting. I thought this useful when creating my film as I understood that I don’t need heaps of dialogue and yet still allow for the audience to engage with the plot.
– Picnic
This film emphasises how only one setting could be used and yet the film is still entertaining. It showed me that many locations wasn’t need to keep the audience amused.
