T1 | Wk 3 | Mon - Micro-narrative representation exercise

To make a good short film you have to be a good storyteller. 


Knowing what you know already of narrative conventions for a short film, pick a theme from the list below;


1. Guilt

2. Identity

3. Isolation

4. Redemption 


  • You must pitch a 1–2 minute story with:


    • Beginning / middle / end

    • One main character

    • One turning point


    • No dialogue allowed ('Show don't tell')
    • Present your story pitch as a voice over, with a creative background video (this is fairly easy to create w/ AI)


    You must use the conventions available to you to plan to convey your story. 


    This will be out of 10 marks and will be assessed based on your ability to understand narrative conventions and construct a short film story, effectively.
