In this post I have produced a timeline for the history of the short film. I have done this because I felt like I needed to learn and understand the conventions of short films in order to reproduce a high quality short film of my own for this project.
Through completing this timeline, I have now gained a tremendous amount of knowledge of the history of the short film and I now understand, in greater detail, the conventions of the short film. Also I have learned how the short film is popular today and what sort of short films are being produced.
