Conventions | Evidence in film | Impact on Audience |
Storyline | The short film I have chosen is “The Spark Tree | Stories of Evergreen Hills” and is about a girl called Sam who helps people with their needs/problems (0:40 - 0:55). We can see how now Sam needs to help her brother Zack since he is getting bullied. She tries to solve the problem but sees the bully has a problem himself but is putting all his problems on her brother (2:33 - 3:14). Sam is going to fix both problems with a spark of hope from the power of the forest. | This will impact the audience since they would want to watch what will happen to both sides of the problems and how will Sam figure out a solution. When Zack is being bullied but also seeing the bullies side on why he bullies makes the audience feel sadness and hope for the bully to change and stop.
|
Genre | The genre of this short film is adventure/drama seen in the forest (4:10 - 5:30). Sam explores loads of places and goes on an adventure to solve the problem. | This will attract the audience who are interested in drama/adventure films and find it very interesting, and feel joy whilst watching it. |
Budget | The budget of the short film is big since we can see it animated with voice actors, and its own soundtrack which would have a big budget. This is seen throughout the whole short film. They had many people on the production side so they had to pay everyone for their work. | The audience would be more attracted to the short film since the short film would have more to be shown. |
Abstract Creativity | Throughout the whole short film we can see it’s animated and it’s not like any other short film. The short film has a basic storyline but the concept is very original since it’s animated with its own character style. | The vision of the whole film will stand out since it’s animated and doesn’t have the same style to other typical short films. |
Duration | This short film is 10 minutes long which is good since short films are supposed to be 5 to 15 minutes long. | Since it’s a short film it’ll attract the audience since it won’t take that long to watch and they won’t be bored. |
In what ways is this film noticeably different to a full length feature?
This film is noticeably different to a full length film since this film gets straight to the point trying to figure out the issue. With a full length film it’ll have more scenes with different backgrounds/places whereas with a short film it’s hard to fit everything in since it’s short. Since it’s a short film there may not be as much character development since there is not a lot of time since a short film is 5-15 minutes and you need to get the point of the short film across. Whereas with a full length film they will have more time to show stuff with character development.
