Adam Burton's short film is conventional in length, lasting approximately five minutes, which is typical for low-budget films. The narrative follows a linear structure based on the three-act model, ultimately leading to a climax without a conventional resolution. This results in a unique ending that contrasts with similar films, despite its familiar progression of events.

1. Structure & Length
By Adam Burton

2. The Short Film
• When compared to existing short films, my product is
extremely conventional. Only lasting approximately five
minutes the length of my product is very typical and the
majority of al low budget short films lay within the fifteen
minute period. However once the idents and ending credits
have been removed it is slightly shorter than short films
conventionally are. Despite my plot being complicated the
narrative of the short film is relatively simple therefore there
is no need for a longer film.

3. Structure
• When planning the narrative arc of my short film, I
considered a various amount of structures previously used by
writers and film producers. I replicated the ‘The Three Act
Structure’ and other generic theories to develop my film and
this resulted in linear single stranded narrative. Purely based
upon structure it could be argued that my short film
resembles a text a company such as Disney would create, the
narrative follows a basic progression of events leading to a
climax. However at this point the ‘issue’ presented
throughout is not concluded and therefore the ending of my
short film could be seen as unconventional when compared to
other texts which share the a similar structure.
