The history of short films began in the 1910s in United States of America. It was the time when films began to have longer editions. The custom in film making was to include a feature followed by a single or more short subjects. These short subjects could be animated cartoons or live action. These short subjects became the first short films but they were not yet called “short films”…It was only in the 1980s that the term “short film” began to be used interchangeably with “short subject”. Short subject was the term used for short films in the earlier history of short films. Short films, in the modern age, are contemporary noncommercial motion pictures which are shorter than feature films.”

In the history of short films, the cost of making a short film is a lot less expensive than making a full feature film, making it more popular among amateur film makers and students. It is also a way of showing artistic ideas or thoughts in a way that the audience can comprehend easily and quickly.
For example, my idea for my short film is from what I perceived “love at first sight” would be like if it was to happen in real life.
In some ways I think that short films are a lot better at showing a story line or idea than a full feature film for the fact that it gets to the point much quicker and yet it is still as enjoyable.
I’m really looking forward to making my Short Film, i can’t wait to see how it will turn out.
