In this episode of The Directors' Take podcast, your hosts Oz Arshad and Marcus Anthony Thomas are joined by absolutely no-one this week, as we decided to create a list of the short films that have inspired them. We break down their story structure and try to deconstruct what makes these films and filmmakers so great. This conversation includes:
-What is a concept short film?
-Should you use voice over in your short?
-The use of vignettes in short films to expand time.
-When is it appropriate to do a one take short?
-Traditional narrative shorts and authored voices.
-When should you do a proof of concept short?
