Before we started to plan our film we watched a number of short films so we could get an idea of what a short film entails. One of the things we got from watching the short films was the notable difference between short films and feature films. The best way to look at the difference is a feature film is like a novel whereas a short film is like a poem. A short film isn’t trying to be a feature film, it tells a story but in a different way, and is able to take a more artistic approach of this process. One of the short films we watched "BUONGIORNO" took this approach using the music and images to tell the story and although the overall story isn't scary; the music makes the audience believe it is.
Another film I watched was 'Lovefield'. The use of camera angles, editing and mise en scene makes this film scary and full of suspense. However. the audience is being made to think the film is a Horror but the twist at the end shows otherwise. After watching this film i liked the idea of starting the film one way, almost a different genre to the way it is going to end.
After watching numerous films we stated to get an idea on the sort of story lines that would be able to be made into a short film and be successful.
