Research on short films

After researching short films, it will allow me to make a final decision out of the briefs i narrowed it down to.

I have used the website 'film for action' and 'vimeo'. On film for action i found many different short films.

This link http://www.filmsforaction.org/watch/the-oceanmaker-2015/  shows a short animated film which tells a story in just 10 minutes.

This link is another short story  http://www.filmsforaction.org/watch/dear-future-generations-sorry/  lasting approximately 6 minutes.  Although this video just shows a man speaking, i believe it is very effective. This is because the video focuses on the man in a suit against a very simple background. Below is the video of the short film:

This picture shows a medium close up of the man speaking. This means that the audience just focuses on what the man has to say as he is stating an important message. This allows the audience to engage instead of getting distracted by a background. 

The video then begins to bring in animated effects to match his point he makes. I believe the animation on a basic background causes it to stand out. 

Also, large, bold text is used. I noticed that the text matches when he says the word in perfect time. This is also very effective and something i may research more into.
