To be able to produce my own short film I must first be able to know what makes a good short film good. This short guide outlined it well, giving a few useful pointers on how to analyse a media product.
Much like how a photograph is "Worth a thousand words." a film is just a series of photographs. However, these photographs are set up in a way as to convey a directors desired message and as such are often a lot easier to 'decode' than a photograph. While this may seem easier, a director needs to be able to piece these photographs together to create a coherent narrative. When I make my own short film I should keep this information in mind as while it may seem easy to just string together some visually impressive shots, I will have to be sure that it flows nicely and forwards the narrative effectively to give my film both meaning and aesthetic value.
