The different between a Short film and Feature length film

The difference between a short film and a feature length film:

  • Smaller budget to make a short film
  • Time frame- straight to the point (short film)
  • Keeping audience entertained more so in a short film than a feature length film
  • Less time consuming to make a short film
  • Quite regularly untrained actors are used in short films
  • Niche market based- short film
  • Suspense
  • Short films can be more experimental
  • Compression (short film)
  • Simpler set-ups (short film)

What is a short film?
A short film is simply a piece of footage that is longer than one minute although normally around fifteen minutes long. Short films tend to have a significant message within the production and will most likely identify this faster than a feature length film. Short films tend to be aimed at a specific group or audience that are interested in features within the production.

What is a feature length film?
A feature length films are something that many of us view and watch every single day. These are films that are 'normal' and are aimed towards a wider audience. Feature films are generally mainstream compared to short films. Feature films will last over an hour and tend to not go over a two-three hour limit. Feature films will not be based so much on a message as short films are.
