Welcome To My A2 Media Blog

For my A2 course, I will be creating and exhibiting a short film from a chosen genre of choice. On this blog I will be displaying my research and planning that will teach me the ways of creating an effective short film.

What is a short film?

According to the Academy of Motion Pictures (otherwise known to non-film buffs as the the Oscars) a short film is a motion picture that has a running time of 40 mintues or less; including credits.

The majority of people make short films because they neither have access to good equipment nor the correct experience. This mirrors how it was during the early days of cinema.
In the early 1920s, films by Charlie Chaplin, Laurel and Hardy, animations by Max Fleisher and Walt Disney; proved very popular and often attracted bigger audiences than the features they accompanied.
