About the overarching Unit Question:

The Narrative Perspectives Project challenges Seniors with

"How well can you apply advanced narrative techniques to build a compelling story?"

By exploring various narrative points of view and experimenting with dialogue in their story writing, students develop more advanced storytelling techniques and ideas they apply in the creation of surreal compositions, movie posters, book jacket designs, screenplays, films, trailers, keyframe and motion caption animations, 3D layered art and videos, and JavaScript websites. Students deepen their technical communication skills by learning a variety of modern professional equipment and applications such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Substance Painter, Avid Pro Tools, Autodesk Maya, ZBrush, and HTML/CSS/JavaScript with Visual Studio Code.

About the specific project within the unit that is featured in this gallery:

Building on junior year, Senior Film students learn more advanced cinematography skills and lighting techniques using a Canon DSLR. Based on an original story written in English, they write a ten minute+ screenplay, storyboard, cast actors, block scenes, shoot footage and edit projects using advanced techniques in Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effects. Some Film students also produced trailers for their videos.
