How has the short film market benefitted from digital technologies?

The growth in digital technologies has supported the short film industry in many ways.

One of these ways is through the development of the internet. The internet is constantly growing with more and more opportunities rising for short films.
The growth of the internet means that there are more websites specifically for short films. This allows the industry to have a wider market audience.
The websites also make it easier for the consumer to discover the products.

Another way that technologies have developed is through the use of Apps. Consumers are now able to download apps from Google's 'Play Store' and Apple's 'iTunes Store'. Certain apps may be made for the use of short films alone, allowing a wider market for the industry.

We also now have more ways of streaming short films. Many people these days own a vast number of gadgets which can be used to link with the internet. These include; tablets, iPods, Computers/Laptops and phones.
