This short film was created for my EPQ A Level qualification, an independent study to understand 'how to create a short narrative film'. I fulfilled all roles in the film's inception and am solely responsible for its production. The story is of a young man's search for his deeper self, as he separates from his social media image.
Left: Sample storyboard of shots, using stand-in photographs for ideas of meaning or composition. I storyboarded the entire film and used it to order and set up shots.
Right: Location shoot on Lake Casitas with actor, showing set up for drone shot overhead, using 2 boats.
This is a sample 'page' from my Powerpoint presentation to the EPQ jury that describes the narrative structure of my film 'Search'. The research I did for the EPQ helped me understand the stages of 'action' and 'resolution' in short film so that I could intentionally design the structure for a more coherent narrative.
