When I was writing a paper for this class about what makes a short film, I asked my roommate (who isn't in the class) if she concidered certain films on youtube to be short films. She only answered yes or no. it was really simple. maybe we are thinking too much about what is a short film. <BR/><BR/>by the way, she said sneezing panda is not a short film.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27389910.post-72690405230092094202008-12-14T17:41:00.000-05:002008-12-14T17:41:00.000-05:00This film is pointless. entertaining, yes. a sho...This film is pointless. entertaining, yes. a short film, no.

I think it gets funnier the more you watch it because you are anticipating the sneeze, but you can't predict when it is going to happen and when it does, I laugh my bum off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27389910.post-5086505268862859682008-12-14T15:36:00.000-05:002008-12-14T15:36:00.000-05:00Yeah, it is a funny film, but is it so funny it wa...Yeah, it is a funny film, but is it so funny it warrants being one of the most watched on youtube? It is probably only watched so much because of its length. being only 16 seconds long, people can re-watch it several times in the time it takes to watch one short film. But I don't know who would want to watch it so many times. wouldn't it get tedious?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27389910.post-4316434893648573402008-12-14T15:30:00.000-05:002008-12-14T15:30:00.000-05:00Wow, this video is really funny.

Isn't that what we have been discussing in class for so long? what makes a short film. I don't think we ever answered that question fully. maybe the next time Middents teaches the class he will have more answers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27389910.post-16796940633960457252008-12-14T15:18:00.000-05:002008-12-14T15:18:00.000-05:00Can you really know what someone's intent is? wha...Can you really know what someone's intent is? what about that lonleygirl15. At first people thought that was really her internet diary, but she was really making a parody. usually the intent of the creator is lost once the public passes judgment on the film.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27389910.post-90336947205385174402008-12-13T16:58:00.000-05:002008-12-13T16:58:00.000-05:00Agreed wholeheartedly.

Although a short film could conceivably be composed of random captured moments (with some editing and a purpose, maybe sneezing panda could be a short film... though maybe not)its status as art is of the utmost importance. One can tape things because they are interesting, but this illustrates a certain degree of intent. "Oh man, look at this" *camera phone interlude* is incidental rather than intentional.<BR/><BR/>Incidentally, I would love to make a film with the intent of appearing incidental, perhaps parodying the camera phone culture.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27389910.post-65459173984329212832008-12-12T16:59:00.000-05:002008-12-12T16:59:00.000-05:00Yeah, it seems that just about anyone these days c...Yeah, it seems that just about anyone these days can make a "short film".

No TV show or movie could of understood this humor enough to write out a plan to realize it and capture. This is old possible in todays society as humor because of its originality (lack of staging present in the video) and the ubiquities nature of video recording devices. Telling of how media is lending itself to a "free culture" distribution method.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
