Short Film Research

Short films are mini films that can be up to 40-45 minutes long. They can be to inform or to entertain.

Moments is four minutes and seventeen second short film that simply shows loads of 'moments' in one go. They use different settings and different people to show what a 'moment' is. For example, a newborn baby, a child flying a kite and someone waking up. Natural lighting is used to go with the scene and a instrumental song plays over the top. Moments is a entertaining short film that makes you think more in to detail about what a moment is.

It could easily be done for a project by getting a topic and basing it all around what people think it is. You can then add people saying the answers at the beginning followed by a series of short clips put together which will then describe the moment. Me and Shiv have discussed about doing a short film and if we were going to do one this is what we would base it on. We would pick an idea such as Love and have a question such as 'what is love?' for people to answer. We could then film them in the studio or other settings showing what they think love is. Such as talking about it, acting it, drawing etc.
