After looking at this website
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film/film-life/7593291/The-long-history-of-short-films.html I made bullet points about why short films are made.
- Films started short due to the primitive technology. Audiences were happy so see a few seconds of film for the novelty of it.
- Short films are often more artistic and are picked up because of this. Popularity of short films has never 'waned among visual artists.
- The fact that short films were pushes aside by big major films meant that short film festivals were made to showcase films which wouldn't otherwise be seen. Also the introduction of 'YouTube' meant that short film-makers could get their work online and seen by a wide audience.
- Short films are perfect for the online age and community. Users demand short, snappy videos and short films produce this.
- Word of mouth and social media, as stated above, benefit the short film industry and can create viral videos.
- Short film making is much cheaper, easier to make and distribute [online] and viewer ship is easier to come by.
