This document discusses how several short films have inspired the author's own short film ideas. It notes that one film used an entirely voiceover style of narration that the author wants to emulate. Another short film showed how being creative with simple ideas can be effective. A third demonstrated how shorts can both entertain and convey a moral message, which the author also aims to do in a hidden way. The film "Rumble" in particular inspired the author with its black and white cinematography and examination of themes of time and moving on from the past.
