Narrative in Short Films

Just because short films are typically 4X times shorter than the typical film it does not mean that they are not able to use a complex storyline, in fact they are able to create a shorter storyline that like a feature film it has a beginning, middle and end. A narrative can be anything from simple to complex and is basically the storyline of the video which has a meaning behind, something which carries enigmas that stay with a viewer.
