Short Film Research - The Tea Chronicles



This video, although a comedy video, gives some really valuable information about the techniques use in the creation of this short film and tells us how to make sure our  own short film creations come out the way we want them to. 

The main points raised in the video were: 
  • How the story concept was created and how it became a short film
  • How the shots were planned and who did them (with a shot of their screen so we can see an example of a professional shot list)
  • The size of the crew
  • How they did the production design
  • How to throw your drink at a camera 
  • How they used green screening 
  • The difficulty of editing and how not everything filmed actually works for he final cut
  • Colour grading the film to enhance it and make it look more cinematic
This brief overview of the way in which the short film developed is really helpful for video examples of the stages gone through to make it. This allows me to get see what a closed set like a house looks like in filming and understand what to expect, and the problems we may face, when creating our own.
