Codes and conventions of short films

Codes and convention of short film:
- Little talking.
- full story, beginning middle and end in a short space of time
- usually a twist in the tale
- Most have a moral
- Music or tune behind shots instead of dialogue
- Quicker camera shots as film gets to the end showing the cruical point of the story.
- Monolougues by main character- about a girl.
- Little cast no more than usually 3 at most main characters
- one main setting, maybe a few more settings but not the main one.
- Not to much detail into the person, little time to tell a full story about the person.
