codes and conventions

After analysing the short films and feature films i found each would have common conventions of filming that would be in each crossing from feature films and short films, but as I'm doing a short film i must adhere to there particular codes and conventions which are:

. I must introduce and establish these four things or subvert the common contentions and have a slightly more unique opening these are , narrative , character , genre and character. this is a convention seen in any film short or feature.

. short films must engage the audience straight away due to the short length

. when creating action and a fast paced scene or even to build tension and suspense a variation of shots must be used varying from long shot mid shot to close up.

. close up tends to draw attention to a important and specific concept or object

. parallel sound is key to continuity as well as the use of a sound bridge


these conventions are not a must and can be adaptions however as i develop my idea and progress with my project i will come back and add to this post.
