 (Post 3) Why are these short films?

What is the point of them?

A short film is any motion picture not long enough to running time to be original motion picture that has a running time of 40 minutes or less including all credits. Short films are generally used for industry experience and as a platform to showcase talent to secure funding for future projects from private investors or film studios.

Who makes them? 

Short films can be made by anyone most big film makers started off by making short films for example Steven Spielberg started off by making short films before he went onto his famous films like E.T and Jurassic park. Also film makers like Martin Scorsese and James Cameron. 

How and where are they exhibited? 

Most short films are shown on YouTube, Vimeo, Netflix, Film 4 shorts and film festivals this is where they are shown off to the public and maybe young film makers who want to maybe create their own films

 Who watches short films?

Short films can be watched by anyone because they are free to watch on YouTube. They could also be watched by young film makers who maybe want ideas for their next short film. Also maybe big famous film creators may watch them to help maybe find someone to help on their sets.

 

Midpoint Film

This is my 5 minute film that I did for my midpoint

I struggled with my film because there was so much footage that I had to remove due to issues with cameras and dogs.

Meaning video

For this task we had to make a film that has a meaning our meaning was a previous event effecting a future event. For our video we had it be someone who was not revising so he failed his test and then he doesn't revise again. Thankyou to everyone who helped with our film and was involved.

Bus stop montage

For this task we had to make someone miss a bus and then we had to make 60 mins into 60 seconds using different cuts. For this one we had some fun recording this and I'd like to say thankyou to everyone involved in this clip

Passing 100 times

For our passing 100 times we used a water bottle and we made it travel around our school and also to my house. Unfortunately we didn't all 100 throws as a number of people we asked turned down our request which is unfortunate but fine.

I'd also like to add thank you everyone that got involved and was in our video. Thank you
