Short films are films that are shorter in length that normal films. Often they are taken on as a film maker's first major project because it is not as big of an undertaking as a full length feature film.
Film students, film festivals and young people are the main audience of short films. They are mostly distributed online and this is what attracts young people who view them on sites such as Vimeo, Youtube and Short of the Week. Film students watch lots of short films to gain knowledge on genres and codes and conventions, as well as to find inspiration for their own work. Film festivals showcase lots of short films to help amateur film makers to make a name for themselves.
