Today we started creating our short film we needed to gain an basic understanding of short films in general and what is commonly found within them. Ciara and I had already previously seen short films had some knowledge of short film conventions and brain stormed our ideas below;
















After brain storming our ideas, we carried out some basic research on short films and began watching example short films on different websites such as;
BBC short film network 
Film 4 shorts 























After viewing several short films we decided to wider our knowledge by anaylisng on short film in depth  the film we chose was a drama called 'About a Girl', below our my ideas and notes I wrote while watching the film, I focussed on the representation of certain characters and how an character can be portrayed within such a short time limit. I also anaylsed the different techniques and editing skills used which infulunced and gave me inspiration for our own film.
