  1. WHAT IS A SHORT STORY

  2. A short story is a work of fiction that is usually written in prose, often in narrative format. This format tends to be more pointed than longer works of fiction, such as novellas (in the 20th and 21st century sense) and novels.

  3. Short story definitions based on length differ somewhat, even among professional writers, in part because of the fragmentation of the medium into genres. Since the short story format includes a wide range of genres and styles, the actual length is determined by the individual author's preference (or the story's actual needs in terms of creative trajectory or story arc) and the submission guidelines relevant to the story's actual market. Guidelines vary greatly among publishers.[1]

  4. Many short story writers define their work through a combination of creative, personal expression, and artistic integrity. They attempt to resist categorization by genre as well as definition by numbers, finding such approaches limiting and counter-intuitive to artistic form and reasoning. As a result, definitions of the short story based on length splinter even more when the writing process is taken into consideration.

  5. Your task: You will be given the opportunity to create a film with the theme “What could the future of technology hold?” that will be screened in a film festival at the end of the unit. You are invited to be as creative as possible. The best two short films from each school will be involved in the Grand Final Screening at Brisbane State High School, with the finalists being flown to the School. The overall winners will also have their movie screened on National News, and win the following prizes!
