What is a short film??

A short film is a piece of video that is generally between three to forty five minutes. In north America, a short film is considered to be between 20 and 40 minutes, however, in Europe a short film generally lasts between one and fifteen minutes. Some people specialise is just making short films, however, the majority of short film makers are budding film makers or even the general public. Most short films that are made are broadcasted on the World Wide Web, on website such as Vimeo, or the world famous YouTube.



Some of the best short films are broadcast on televisions. This tends not to happen in the UK; however this is a common site in Canada as a ‘time filler.’
Sometimes a trailer for a full length feature film is often referred to as a ‘short.’
