this article is titled, "13 short film cliches" and the title is self explanatory. in this article it gives you the most common ideas in films. they describe a cliche as a phrase or expression that has been used so often that it is no longer original or interesting; something that is so commonly used in books, stories, etc., that it is no longer effective. they give a list and explains how each is intact a cliche. the list consist of clowns, black and white films, silence, filmception, films abut filmmakers, the older generation, children, dysfunctional families, canibalisum, post-apocalyspe, cheesy scores, very long short films, and all around disappear/death.
i learned while reading this article that its hard to come up with original and new ideas without them being cliche. with this article some tips i don't agree with. such as black and white theme for films. i feel like thats not a common idea and only a few movies can pull it off. also silent films are very rare too and not a lot of films are made like that anymore.
i thought this article was well organized all though it could have provided examples and more information about every category.
i don't have any questions regarding this article.
