Storytelling through film

I personally have little to no experience with film or video of any kind, so this one has taken a bit of thinking. Where do i start? I love stories, and would love to become a better story teller myself. With film and video you have to actually physically create the visuals of the story you are telling, and i like the idea of that, don't get me wrong, i love written and spoken stories as well. The way that you have to create the idea of the visuals through words and virtually nothing else is fascinating to me. Anyway, back to storytelling through film. I think i could become a better story teller through film by incorporating a more personal touch through the style and use cinematography, and the way i tell the story.
