Images Without a Story – The Limited World of YouTube Filmmakers

Date:

It is common knowledge that a picture is worth a thousand words. “Nonsense,” says science expert Christian Mähr of “Krone”. He watched short videos on YouTube and was not really impressed.

These ‘shorties’ have a wide range of themes: horror, action, fantasy and so on. So-called cine cameras are used, i.e. slimmed-down versions of professional film cameras, which are characterized by the fact that they are affordable – not much more expensive than cameras. There is also an equally affordable light and sound equipment.

In the US, making short films seems to be a national sport. The actors and manufacturers of the products are amateurs and the optical quality is nothing short of astonishing. Sure, there are occasional comments from the incorrigible bean counters who criticize here and there the choice of focal length, the exposure and, God knows, everything else – but they exist everywhere.
