What Is a Short Film?

Short films are basically films that are short, I mean it's literally in the name right? If that is in anyway confusing to anyone then I can always explain it further just for satisfaction. So a short film is a brief film of between 5 to 30 minutes which deals with a particular theme e.g. drama, horror, comedy etc. Dduring the early days in the Hollywood studios a short film was a cartoon which ran between 6-7 minutes.

Charlie Chaplin made short comedy films very popular when he started to produce silent comedy films involving over the top facial expressions and body language. Short films were usually made to reveal a message to the audience.
