Art of Comedy

In this course students will explore what makes films funny! We will be watching comedy clips and learning more about what makes us laugh. Students will learn about the art of satire, romantic comedy, dark humor, slapstick humor, and high comedy. Students will ultimately produce and edit a short comedic film using a professional camera, lights, and sound.

AI

Students are sharpening their storytelling skills by generating images through an online AI application. Students have to be specific in their descriptions when giving commands to the AI generator - which encourages media literacy and enables them to tell their story using unique visuals.  Students are using the AI-generated images to develop storyboards, which will then be applied to AI again, in order to create moving images.
