Short Film Narrative- Yes, we need to keep the story short and sweet. That's the very nature of the medium. Want to complete a basic narrative analysis of your treatment consider:

• Character: Who is your story about and what are their defining features?
• Challenge: What defining moments, setbacks and ultimate conflict have they been confronted with?
• Change: How and what has the character learned in the end? What's your resolution?

Challenge: Focus on a short film you've found on line and outline these 3 basic areas of narrative development.
