Learning to Tell Stories Through Images
As a part of the Manaiakalani Online Toolkits, I recently had the opportunity to lead a toolkit focused on creating short films by telling a story through images. It was a journey that completely changed my perspective on filmmaking.
Before this, my understanding of filmmaking was primarily technical—I knew about camera shots and storyboarding, but I honestly found it all a bit dry. It felt like a necessary but unexciting part of the process.
However, after diving into the research for this toolkit, I’ve had a massive shift in thinking. I now understand why these technical elements are so crucial, and I'm genuinely excited about them.
