Working in groups, they’ll produce a multidisciplinary media arts work that can serve as both a showcase project and inspiration for further classwork or assessment. From concept to camera, they’ll explore the secrets of crafting compelling visual stories, filming their own advertisement, and applying layered techniques that add meaning and impact for the viewer.
