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:
In English, Seniors wrote original world stories and developed those stories into screenplays which served as the basis for a film, an animation, a book jacket, a movie poster, and a surrealism composition.
In Digital Media, Seniors learned how to make composite photos using various advanced digital techniques in Photoshop.
They applied those skills to produce these
