My Thoughts about the Short Films

Last Saturday we watched three great short films in the class. By comparing these short films with the long films, I think there are many differences. Firstly, the short film tells the story plots and main points in a very brief way. It draws the audience into the story very fast, and audience can catch the styles of film at very beginning. Because of the length of short film, the audience may not understand the whole story until the last moment of it, but also it is a good way that gives audience a sudden feeling and makes them feel inspired or impressive. As for the long film, the audience is able to be familiar with the main characters and knows more details about the story plots, so that they can have a better understanding to the meaning of this film. But also, the long films may waste some times to tell about something unimportant to the main idea that make audience feel tired and abstracted. Anyway, in general, both short films and long films have their advantages, and a good film is no matter short or long that will make audience feel impressive and inspired.
