| Description (ECIAD) | We encounter storytelling daily, through
conversation, advertising, films, visual culture,
spoken narratives, and more. It is fundamental to
the human experience. This course introduces the
principles of story with a focus on animation, tv
and film. You will learn story theory, develop
your own characters, story world and narrative,
and discover what makes a great story. Whether
you're new to story or are looking to hone your
knowledge and understanding, this class will
provide you with the tools for analyzing and
deconstructing story and give you the foundation
to create compelling stories of your own.
