Abstract: The application of narrative strategy in films is an important demonstration of film directors' thoughts. This thesis studies the transformation of narrative strategies by post-70s female directors from the perspective of description, clues, and space. The result shows that in the early and later period of film making, their narrative strategies changed radically. The narrative perspective turned from the edge characters to the public figures, the narrative clue from single line to multiline, and narrative space changed from closed spaces to open ones. These changes adapt to the commercialization of the film market, which brings great economic benefits to the female directors of the post-70s generation. But further researches are needed on whether the foothold of the film reflects the inspiration of the feminist ideology and the self-awakening of the female consciousness.

Key words: post-70s, female directors, film making, narrative strategies, narrative clue, narrative space
