Vennagram #1: 5 second movies vs. 5 second films

Hello and welcome to the first blog of Vennagram, where I compare and contrast two similar concepts in media. And this in topic, I want to investigate a two internet series that sounds so similar and yet so slightly different upon closer inspection. So today I gave you, 5 second movies vs. 5 second films.

Okay, is it me or does in feel like we’re stuck between a rock and a hard place? Look, before you let your pitch forks, troll them, and hack them, hear me out. It has been a curiosity for me whether the naming was a coincidence or just inspired by them. So take a good look between the two before you judge for yourself.

5 second movies are a web series that features clips of movies, cut and edited, to 5 seconds. 

5 second films, on the other hand, are another web series that features skits and films that are filmed in 5 seconds.

Now let's look at the different between the two:

Similarities
5 second movies
5 second films
Both are comedies
More of Parody
More of Sketches
Both are extremely short in time
Very Flexible in Time frame (around 30 to 60 seconds)
Very Strict in Time frame (around 9 seconds)
Both are web series
Gets material from other films
Original Content
Both are well edited
Each video is made by one person, although many make their own versions
Each video is made by a team, many actors involved probably work in their productions

But to be fair, I think both of these pretty good. Their minimalism helps bring the jokes better and their short time frame can be enjoyed even by the busiest of people. I recommend you should check them out.
