Abstract
Fashion film has become a significant communication medium in the $21^{st}$ century. Fashion film, that tells unique quality stories, is a means of communicating brand value emotionally. To examine characteristics of storytelling according to types of fashion film, this study categorizes fashion film and investigates storytelling elements in terms of content, form, and communication. For methodology, a literature review was conducted to examine the concept of storytelling and types of fashion film storytelling. Empirical research was conducted on 32 fashion films from 2007 to recent years of 2017. Results are as follow. First, theatrical fashion film, based on linear narrative structure and closed-ending, is characterized content-based storytelling. Second, avant-garde fashion film, based on unconventional and experimental cinematic techniques, is characterized form-based storytelling. Finally, documentary fashion film that minimizes distortion and reproduces reality of designers' originality, refers to interactive communication-based storytelling which using digital technologies.
