Looking at Short Films

Short Films 


What I have learnt so far...

Short films usually consist of up to 5-7 minutes
It is important to grasp the viewers quickly with a strong gripping beginning, followed by an exciting storyline and script
Interesting wide ranged use of camera shots and angles
Create and build tension 

Important Key Words 

Enigma - A narrative devise used to tease the audience, for example presenting them with a puzzling storyline to be solved. 

Action Code - A devise where by a resolution is produced through an action sequence  

Linear Narrative - When the narrative plot moves forward at all times but is met by sudden flashbacks for digression

Parallel Action - Cutting between two scenes which are viewed as happening at the same time 

Ant Narrative - Disrupting the storyline deliberately by the repetition of images from another scene/time.     

Mode of Address - Directing personally to the audience via the use of Direct dialogue, Voice overs and Written dialogue on screen
