I came across this post, written by Mike Jones, Lecturer in Screen Studies at the Australian Film Television and Radio School that quite persuasively argues against short film as a learning experience and as a calling card for new filmmakers. I recommend that you check it out but I’ll summarise the main points here.
- “The relevance of short film structures, patterns and conventions to feature and long-form drama are tenuous at best.”
- “A short film doesn’t demonstrate you understand audiences and genre and know how to attract an audience.”
Mike finishes by pointing at webisodes as the solution. I disagree.”
