Abstract

Inspired by an original short film named “Home”, the author wished to explore how different shooting and editing techniques can contribute to a short film. The aim of the research is to investigate and analyze the effects of different shooting and editing techniques that are applicable to short films. The author first explored this topic by doing research and reading related papers and books on the Internet. A hypothesis is then drawn, and next the author went back to relate to the research background and looked for further evidence in the original film named “Home”. A detailed analysis is conducted on the short film “Home”, including its shooting and editing techniques, its music, and its production process. The author concluded that various shooting, including different camera angles and lighting techniques, and editing techniques can have a momentous impact on the final product, helping capture the audience’s attention and clarify and emphasize the main theme of the movie. This is especially true for short films like “Home” that only last for a few minutes, as these techniques really help convey a central theme and add diversity in this very limited time.
