The thing is, short films are to some minor and usually unstated but subliminally recognized degree a trailer for one’s own career as a filmmaker, the idea being that if a producer “picks up” that “trailer” than bigger and better movies will be created off of the support of the talents involved in creating the smaller short independent film. This is what drives these title sequence errors as the writerdirectorproducercinematographereditor ME wants it to be fully understood that he or she is capable of handling multiple jobs and pulling all of these various elements together, but all it really shows is the exact converse: that the director does not know how to collaborate and find resources outside of one’s own apartment, that the director does not know what all goes into the various roles that creates a film, that the director has no sense of pacing and style, and that the director, if he or she did in fact actually do the grip and lighting and makeup effects and best boy (WHY?!) work, did it very poorly and shoddily and without effectiveness or skill.
