One of the main differences in purpose of a feature length film and a short film is that full length films are mainly made sp that they can be shown in cinema or be published to DVD so that they can make profits. Short films on the other hand have many different purposes. one purpose being self-promotion or to gain experience, one example of a short film that was made for this reason is Panic Attack directed by Fede Alvarez, he created a short film which consisted mainly of animated sequence, and once was published, within two days, it became a viral video and was viewed by thousands of people. With this short film, Fede Alvarez was given a chance to work on a feature length film.
Another reason a short film may be made is to communicate a message, this could be an educational message, or to highlight some problems in society. One short film that has a message is Gravity directed by (find out name), this highlighted the rising teen gun crime in England, and that accidents can happen accidentally if you play with guns. This would make people more aware, and if shown in schools, can persuade school kids to look out and don’t be influenced.
Experimentation is another reason that directors would make a short film. It can be used to try out new ideas such challenging what the audience would expect, this links in with short films sometimes being used for experiments, by challenging this, they can see how audiences would react to it, and if the reaction is positive, they might implement it into a feature length film.
