The time boundaries for our short story pieces are limited between 4 minutes, 30 seconds and 5 minutes, 30 seconds. Now this may seem like a very simple task when compared to some 40 minute long films, but the burden of compacting your entire narrative into such a short space of time can present a rather large task. Essentially, more planning is required in sculpting your story's arc in such a way that your character's journey becomes defined and progressive.
It is entirely possible that my partner (Paddy) and I end up with far too much footage and will be pressured more on which shots will deliver the greatest effect, rather than just shoving in whatever we can salvage.
