In writing the script for our final project, I found it difficult to keep it short and simple. I had to constantly keep in mind that the movie is only going to be 5 minutes and it is hard to establish everything and have a proper plot setting in 5 minutes. I am still working to improve on what I have so that those 5 minutes can be the best 5 minutes possible.
Another thing that was hard about writing for a 5 minute movie is that it's hard to keep it simple. Everyone is so used to watching the best quality on tv. I myself have not seen very many short stories, so it's hard to think in simpler terms. I feel like you have to be more creative to come up with a short story than a feature-length film because in a feature-length film, you have plenty of time to establish things about characters and have a plot with lots of events. In a short film, you really have to think about a small, everyday problem that is unique. This has been a challenge for me and my group, but the more we discussed everything, the easier simplicity got. Hopefully, in the end our movie will be wonderful and the work will pay off!
