What is a short film? - A short film is generally just any film that is not long enough to be considered a feature film. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences defines a short film, eligible for nomination for the Oscars, as "an original motion picture that has a running time of 40 minutes or less, including all credits."  - Short films differ from feature films in more ways than just length. As a short film is shorter, It means that there is less time

Introduction My name is Ruby Nicholls and I am a Hills Road Sixth form Film Studies student, I am currently about to finish my first year of studying film and am just starting my coursework element. We have the opportunity to either make a short film with a run time of 5 minutes, or write a screenplay which would run for around 10 minutes. Currently I am more interested in making my own short film. Filmmaking has always interested me and I have been making short montage / films of my friends for a while, which means I have a bit of experience with editing.
