Codes and Conventions

looking into short films i have found that its not the actual short film that follows codes and conventions but the production side that does follow them for example films are considered to be short films when there under 50 minutes in length. short film. the main common features that short films share is that the production is the same they have small budgets, small crew. short films can range from "rubber johnny" to avante-garde "the berlin horse" it doesn't have code or rules to follow you can be as independent and different as you want.
