1. Short films should have a lot of dialogue.

Explanation

Short films do not necessarily need to have a lot of dialogue. In fact, short films can effectively convey their message and tell a story through visual storytelling, minimal dialogue, or even no dialogue at all. The length of a film does not determine the amount of dialogue it should have; it depends on the filmmaker's creative choices and the story they want to tell. Therefore, the statement that short films should have a lot of dialogue is false.

2. A long short film is better than a shorter one.

Explanation

The statement suggests that a long short film is better than a shorter one. However, this is not necessarily true as the quality and impact of a film do not solely depend on its length. A shorter film can be more impactful, concise, and well-executed, leaving a lasting impression on the audience. On the other hand, a long short film may lose the audience's interest or fail to effectively convey its message. Therefore, the statement is false.

3. Exposition can be described as the necessary information for the audience to understand your story.

Explanation

Exposition is indeed the necessary information provided to the audience in order for them to understand the story. It sets the stage by introducing characters, setting, and background information that is crucial for comprehending the narrative. Without exposition, the audience would be lost and unable to fully engage with the story. Therefore, the statement "Exposition can be described as the necessary information for the audience to understand your story" is true.

Explanation

The best shorts have a 3-act structure. In storytelling, a 3-act structure typically consists of an introduction or setup, a confrontation or conflict, and a resolution or conclusion. This structure helps to create a clear and engaging narrative arc, allowing the audience to be fully immersed in the story. By following this structure, shorts can effectively establish the characters and their goals, build tension and suspense, and provide a satisfying resolution to the story.
