Mainstrem VS Shorts

There are a huge amount of differences between short films and feature length mainstream films. One of the biggest differences is the vast difference is film budgets. When looking at a mainstream budget you will be looking at millions of pounds, compared to the thousands of pounds for a short film.

A major problem that faces short films is that they can not afford to market and advertise there films. The marketing budget on an average Hollywood film could make up the whole budget for a professional short film. When comparing films and shorts you realise the vast gap there is between shorts and feature length films. Short films have to operate on a small budget because they don’t have as many followers as a Hollywood blockbuster. Because short films have a niche audience it allows them to be more creative and not have to worry about others opinions. Short films can basically do what they want, compared to mainstream films having to create a film that will appeal to the masses, so they can turn a profit.
