FILM: Researching other short films

For my film to work, a reasonable amount of research was needed for the film to be as successful as possible. A substantial amount of research went towards reviewing and analysing other short films found on the Internet, such as websites like http://www.youtube.com/.

My initial discovery when researching other short films was the direct and precise direction they take to deliver their message in a short time. Unlike feature films, their is little digression and focuses mainly on delivering the moral and emotive messages.

I decided to do my research on websites such http://www.youtube.com/ because of its popularity and would therefore provide many options for short films. With YouTube being easily accessible and cheap their would be a range of prosperous and exciting new film makers publishing their videos virally. Anouther advantage of film makers publishing their films on sites like youtube is because of the ease in which the videos can be viewed and rated - with the internet now being in most households due to its low prices the films gain more publicity.

An example of a film I viewed is 'Teeth' - a short film embroidered with comedy will remaining emotive and dramatic.



By watching and analysing films such as teeth I have learned that big budgets and million pound storylines are not needed to have a great effect on the audience. Subtle camera work and acting can be enough to provide a good short film.
