Previous work research

After looking at some previous short film works i have learnt what's important to create a successful short film. It is essential that the characters are introduced quickly and effectively. Also due to the reason that a short film is only five minutes long there can only be one climax in the film, which has to be introduced and solved fairly quickly. The characters are shown to the audience very quickly so it is vital that they are introduced as quickly as possible so that the audience has a good idea of how the characters lives. The shot types used in a short film are very clever as they insure that the audience has a clear view of what's going on as well as being creative. This then results in the piece of work not feeling like a film but feeling like a snippet of your own life that you could relate to.


I believe that with enough research our group can make a very effective short film. We will be looking at different examples and analysing them to get an idea of the types of camera shots, sound, editing and general setting. This will all also be based around our genre which we have chose to base around emotion. We will have to look at a number of different emotions to get an idea of which one will be best for us to use and the most effective one.
