More Short Films

After looking closely at a few short films and focusing on the difference between professional and amateur short films i took my research further and analysed films that were winners of prestigious films festivals. This to me was important as i could begin to understand if there was a transition from amateur short films to professional short films and film companies. There doesn't seem to be well known, international, famous short film companies, however short films are extremely popular and I feel that it could definitely become a profitable organisation and a respectable art form as well.

During my research i did come across some interesting places which specialise in short films. FutureShorts was a website which was particularly interesting, it focused entirely on short films giving information on good films to watch and upcoming film festivals. It gives a YouTube link to all the videos on there so they available for anyone to watch, therefore i took the opportunity to analyse some more short films and came across some which were personal favourites of mine.

This film was definitely my favourite, it contained everything i enjoy watching in a short film. it wasn't too long, it wasn't confusing yet it was witty and a stroke of genius. The film uses simple use of narration to tell the story and it has clear beginning to the film as well as interesting development. With humour and a clever twist to the end it makes the film worth watching right to the finish, you're not left asking question at the end and as a short film it is brilliantly put together. The storyline is quite unique, one that you couldn't imagine being transformed in to a feature length film but in fact the short, snappy style to the film makes for excellent short film viewing. A must see and one of the most viewed videos from the FutureShorts website.
