First Post...Short Film Project Introduction

This year the focus of my blog will be shifting from film opening sequences to short films, where we will eventually create our own short film.

This project will be challenging as it is a massive step up from AS, because it requires making a short film between 4-6 minutes long, whereas the film opening was only required to be between a minute and 2 minutes long, so a lot more work will have to be put in.

 This will also be more difficult as in short films, a complete story has to be told- in film openings, the sequence literally just sets up the story so that it can be continued later, leaving the viewer anticipating and with a lot of questions, as well as a desire to continue watching.

As far as research and planning goes, it should eb about the same, however a lot more effort and time will need to be put in as the subject is wider than before.

In this project we wil be put into small groups and work out a way to split the project tasks evenly, so as to minimise the chances of rushing anything and also to get better results at the end of the year.
