A short film is a film category that is used in all kinds of genres. As the term already suggests, such a film is accordingly short. As a rule, that short film takes no more than five minutes – although the production can still be elaborate.

Therefore, it is important to create a well thought-out concept to match the group of stakeholders in order to inspire the audience during these few minutes.

With the help of a target group-specific as well as thoughtful storytelling, certain feelings can be evoked by the audience. Depending on the intention, the viewers in a short film, for example, are being shocked, surprised or even amused. There are no limits to the expressive possibilities of film production, which is why the trend towards short films in the marketing sector is growing.
Short educational videos on the topics of traffic behaviour, alcohol consumption and other problems should shake the viewer in every way, in order thus to give them a thought-provoking impulse. There is also a distinction between a short fiction film, a documentary short film and an animated short film. Depending on the target group, it is possible to choose between different variations.Advertising parodies are often received very positively and spread virally on the net. For such films there are additional viral campaigns that deal with their popularization.

The most obvious advantage is the time factor. Due to its brevity, faster planning, implementation and post-production is possible. Nevertheless, the conception can be costly, because in the short period emotions should be conveyed to the audience. The same is true for a feature-length film, but in contrast to a short film it has to be divided into individual sections. This in turn can take more time and work.
In a short film, the viewer is also provided with a wide range of information that is quickly processed. In the short film production, one can concentrate on the main message, while leaving aside incidental actions and details. As already mentioned, the duration of a short film is usually less than 5 minutes, but films with a length of up to 60 minutes are also part of this film genre.
As a stylistic medium, the short film is short and concise, which is why the attention span of the audience does not drop as with longer films. They also provide an insight into a subject matter or from a different perspective.
