audience
the audience for my film is an older one. my film is a psychological thriller as it covers both the ideas of perception, reality and mortality. it also is absurdist through both editing techniques and mis en sen. for instance the cap which dissapears or the shifting pitch of the voices.
short film audience
the audience for short films is somewhat more limited now than as it was. like i mentioned previously short films once would often preceed full length features but currently reside as calling cards. however there are celebrated short film festivals where others (often other film makers) gather to view short films en mass such as cannes
a pixar short
as we can see here this film is at its base absurdist. it uses light colours and high pitch sounds. this is due to it being a short made for children. it was simple to follow the plot and the message likewise was very clear. for these reasons it fits the genre of childrens comedy well.
circumstances of short films
short films are often produced for two purposes. 1. as a calling card for new film makers or 2. as a student project, not unlike my own film. short films used to play a larger role in the film industry, often preceeding longer films. this tradition has been kept alive by pixar who have each film follow an animated short film.

aqua teen
while researching post modernism i discovered not only short films but also an interesting little 15 minute cartoon series called aqua teen hunger force. this revolves around talking fast food but is in no way a childrens show. it is shown on "adult swim" a lineup of animation for teenage and older audieces.
