There are many short films made by aspiring directors that have a very low or no budget at all. All short films are obviously not very long and don't usually have a star cast or set. This means they aren't meant to be for long time of entertainment. Short films are usually made by upcoming directors to show off their film making skills. They make these shorts to put on their résumé in hopes of attracting the bigger film making studios to make bigger budgeted, longer films which in turn would make more money. Also, the cast in short films are usually aspiring actors who also can put their short films on their résumé in hopes of being cast for a larger film. Due to the technology we have these days, short films are easily accessible and can easily be put on the internet on platforms such as YouTube. This means the owners of the large production companies can view them very easily and scout the upcoming film makers and actors. For example, director, actor and presenter James Cordon started out making short films. He then went on to make his well known TV series Gavin and Stacy which he wrote directed and starred in. He then moved to America where he now presents a hit late night TV show.
I found some class mates that would be willing to act in my short film. Although the characters in my film are male I will use female actors as they are the only ones willing to do it. Though because they will be wearing masks throughout the film it doesn't matter as they wont be able to be seen throughout. This also helps as because both of the actors aren't going to be on camera all the time, I will be able to have help with the filming aspect of it I will need two costumes for each troll, one for the start where both trolls are under the bridge and living rough and one for the ending of the film where they have finally made it in life. the start costumes will be made to look rough dirty and homeless. the other costume should display wealth and that they've made it in life.
