The difference between long and short form film making
Director Martin Scorsese talks about the difference between making a 3-hour and a 60-second film with actor Timothée Chalamet.
They agree that the challenge of a commercial is a more intense workout, which involves:
- breaking through with the story
- condensing the narrative
- editing so every frame counts
So if making a feature film is like running a marathon, then a commercial is more like a sprint.
