Contributing Factors That Make Your Short Film Possible

For all aspiring filmmakers out there, we live in an era where making a short film has never been easier to make than before. However, just because it’s easy to make, that doesn’t mean making a successful short film will be. Making a successful short film can seem like a daunting task, especially when it can be your first time. There’s a lot of moving parts in order to bring that idea to the big screen.  

Now, getting into understanding or even knowing the most integral part of making a short film is subjective. That is because the view of a writer may differ from that of the director or producers. But the underlying mission remains the same, which is, bringing the idea in front of a mass audience.

One of the most interesting factors that makes filmmaking even more captivating, is that it requires a village to make. Therefore, whenever there is an inception of an idea in the mind of a filmmaker, it demands inclusiveness.

Whenever we start any discussion about coming up with an idea that we want to share to the world, the “why this story needs to be told” becomes an important consideration.  If we don’t know why we are telling the story, then we can’t expect our audience to know why either.

For many, the initial point of making a short film could be a realization of an idea, and that desire to share this new idea. This reason alone has fueled filmmakers all around the world, because for most of them, this is the most integral part of making a short film. 

However, as mentioned above, there are many other factors that play an important role in making a short film, and it is because of these contributing factors that aspiring filmmakers have been looking for suitable platforms, or production companies to help them achieve their goals.

In a way, it is our attempt to promote filmmaking, creativity, and storytelling, and spread it in the world where it can stay imprinted in the minds of the viewers forever.

 THE CONTRIBUTING FACTORS

• The script: The most important factor is the idea, or the message that you want to share to an audience, and this is first done with a completed script. Without the script, there is no movie. At Elon Productions, we will work with you to tighten your script and ensure that it is ready for production.
