A short film is defined by it's length. The are no set codes and conventions because of many reasons. One reason being that a short film can be of any genre or type, there are codes and conventions of these genres and types but not of a short film itself.
Short films are a medium for innovation and experimentation, right from the dawn of cinema short film has pioneered the way to new concepts and ideas in film. The very first piece of film was a short film, "La Sortie de l'Usine Lumière à Lyon" by the Lumiere Brothers.
As stated above the only thing that defines a short film is its length. A short film can be anything from a documentary to a music video to an animation. It can be black and white or it could experiment with colour. It can be footage of absolutely anything as long as it is under 50 minutes in length.
