In the initial stages of this quarantine, I was extremely passionate about trying to be able to focus better & being able to utilize this extra time to develop a new skill or… well, anything. As the days have gone by and as the times keep passing, I’m starting to feel less and lesser inspired. It’s come to a point where I barely have the mental energy to get out of bed some times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, I’ve been watching movies. Too many movies.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Old movies, Westerns, German movies, Indie films, World War II movies and the list goes on. I reached a point where I began to select what I was watching by looking at the duration of how long the film was. Anything between 90-120 minutes was acceptable rather than… you know those 3 hour long movies that sometimes end up being a total waste of time. Took a while, and finally, I ended up watching short films.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not that I haven’t watched any short films in the past, but just like everyone else, I’ve obviously got a tremendous amount of time on my hands and that meant – I started bingeing. The best part about short films is that they’re actually pretty great if you want to learn about film-making, the story is usually to-the-point (I absolutely hate stories that beat around the bush), and well.. they’re short, so even if you don’t like one, you probably wont spent too long chasing a story that wasn’t worth your while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making a short film allows the filmmaker to dive into a subject or story cinematically without investing a lot of time and energy into the project. – How To Produce Movies<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

What makes a successful short film?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Each film needs to have a compelling story, isn’t it? But what makes short films so unique is the fact that the film-maker has a small timeline to be able to express the necessary details of the story\/narrative, the films rely heavily on the script other than anything else. Commercial films tend to draw out attention to other aspects, for example, if a commercial film isn’t well edited – then that’s it for me. I lose interest. But somehow, short films have this undeniably forgivable space where it’s somehow almost acceptable to make minor mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IndieWire<\/u><\/a> says that writing or using a strong script is an important key to short film making. The focus of short films is mainly on constructing a narrative that is laser-focused on a concept or subject while still fleshing out unforgettable characters. Short film makers are more able to think of the plot they envisage and control the overall production. From the first day of filming to the final edit the director will follow a dream. With a minimal crew and reduced production scale, dedication and determination is required to handle all behind-the-scenes and deliver the movie to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
