An Exploration of Narrative Filmmaking Through the Creation of a Short Film

Abstract

The process of creating a narrative short film from the formation of an idea through the completion of the project involves many steps. This exploration serves as an explanation of the processes I undertook to create my narrative short film Empowered. As I discuss my experiences, I present the reasoning behind my decisions and thought processes that went into the creation of this film. The research for this project expanded my knowledge about the technical and creative processes of narrative craft and film production, which allowed me to apply unique, impactful, and stylistic details into the medium of a short film.
