The British Film Institution created a compilation of short films they consider to be worth recognition. This is based on originality and production. However, the four i watched seemed to contain originality for originality's sake. What i mean by that is that they have been asked to create something original and they have come out with something very abstract. An example is a short film on the dvd called 'The first time it hits' which is just 3 minutes long. However in that three minutes there is not much else than some shots on the end of a skateboard, some close ups and extreme close ups of a teenage girl and a few of a boy. They manage to make it look very grainy and extremely home-made. Having said this it is supported and funded by ScreenYorkshire and it is Lottery funded.
Again, similaar to the virgin media shorts, the films i watched seemed to have no narrative, purely an idea around which the creators slightly adapt a few times.
