CINEMATIC STORYTELLING: SHORT NARRATIVE

This unit is designed to introduce you to the core principles of cinematic storytelling. The short narrative project focuses on the fundamental components of narrative structure, which serve as the backbone of any compelling story. You will learn to identify and apply key plot points that drive a story forward, including the inciting incident, the turning point, the midpoint, the break into Act 3, and the climax. Through this project, you will gain hands-on experience in scripting, shooting, and editing a one-minute film that effectively communicates a complete story arc. This is your opportunity to strengthen your skills in screenwriting and production by bringing a narrative to life on screen.
