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:

Seniors were challenged to develop a new fictional world inhabited by original characters who grapple with a social, cultural, political, economic, technological, or environmental conflict. The macro and micro elements of their fictional world could be as realistic or as fantastical as they wished. Ultimately, they communicated their story in the form of a film-style treatment of 3-5 pages and a pitch presentation with visual media elements. Researching a real-world issue was also an integral part of their process of developing conflict and themes their audience could relate to.
