Tisch Portfolio & Narrative Element

I've read on here a lot that Tisch puts a big emphasis on having a strong narrative element and the ability to tell a story... but I want to be cinematographer and I was considering submitting some of my best 35mm stills... Will it hurt if the stills are random and don't collectively 'tell a story?' or should I rethink my strategy?

Still images are narratives also.

I submitted 8X10 prints, and got into the grad program. Also, there was no obvious story to them.

Submit your best work.

The stills don't need to tell a story. Don't worry about that Smile Just make a good story in your dramatic essay.
