We have decided that creating a short film would be a best option for our group as it allows us to explore the process much more. However although this is not final we started researching to get an idea of some of the genres available.
After looking at a large variety of short films it is quite obvious the route they all go down. This is first started off by very quickly introducing the characters usually by entering us into their lives very quickly. This is because there simply isn't enough time to spend a large amount of time letting the audience get to know the characters. I also found that there is only one, is any, problem to overcome and a short film and once this is sorted this will almost be the end of the clip.
I believe that short films are a kind of genre within itself, after watching many examples i have found that they don't try and create a horror, or comedy or any other genre. Instead its all based around a specific emotion and how this is portrayed in the characters life. So i believe that to ensure that we create a successful short film it will be very important to choose a strong emotion that can be drawn to the audience.
We used Youtube and the LG film fest website to explore previous shortfilms made.
