from classics to modern hits in live-action and animated cinema.
Short films — a bright and expressive form of cinematic art. For an experienced author, creating a short film is a field for experimentation, while for a film school student, a well-made film can become a ticket into the profession.
How to find a balance between viewer interest and authorial form? What do the visual and meaningful parts of a film consist of? What is a plot twist and what is its dramatic significance? How does a short film script differ from a literary work and what forms of text recording are used in the film industry? Answers to these and many other questions can be found in the book by screenwriter and dramaturgy teacher Ekaterina Kozhushana.
Examples presented in the book are hits and masterpieces of live-action and animated cinema. From classics containing cultural codes to relevant new releases. Many of the stories told are striking in their depth and poignancy. Behind each of them are fateful circumstances, in which the Hero reveals themselves as a Person.
The book will be interesting to everyone — both those who are just about to start creating short films, and masters with vast experience, as well as educators who assist in the professional development of students, and screenwriters, directors, producers, actors, and of course, a wide audience of short film enthusiasts.
Quotes: "It is important to remember that our world is material. And cinema is the art of materializing thoughts and ideas." "In the short film, the finale is the film itself. The essence of the film. The head of the film." "To attract a group of like-minded people and finances, you need a project on paper. A script. It is bought; investments are made in it. It is a special product. A startup that can take off. If the script lacks quality, it will not be bought." For screenwriters, directors, producers, actors, video bloggers, music video directors, students and teachers of film schools, and lovers of short films.
